From the peerless imagination of Tim Burton comes a dark, romantic fairytale set in a dreary, nineteenth-century European town. Victor Van Dort (endearingly voiced by Johnny Depp), is an itchy, neurotic little fellow, whose parents have arranged a marriage for him with Victoria Everglott. Both families hope that the marriage will bring success and prosperity and the two feel a spark of true love.

Victor practices his wedding vows in the nearby woods, placing his ring on a stick poking out of the ground. He gets more than he bargained for when the stick turns out to be the finger of a dead woman, and now the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter) is after him, claiming to legally be his bride and intent on showing Victor the time of his after-life.

Should the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe ever go into business with claymation wizard Nick Park, the result might play something like Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. - Variety
