    • Trivia
      The puppets were 25 to 28 centimeters (9.8 to 11 inches) tall, and some of the stages were so large that animators could actually fit through the set doors with minimal crouching.
    • Goofs
      (at around 16 mins) When Victor is in the woods saying his vows, he puts his ring on the "branch"; a.k.a. the corpse bride's hand, and he puts the ring on the pointer finger. However, in the next shot when she says "You may kiss the bride," the ring has magically moved to her ring finger.
    • Quotes

      Victor Van Dort: [alone in the forest, practicing his vows] With this hand I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. - Ah, Mrs. Everglot. You look ravishing this evening. What's that, Mr. Everglot, call you "Dad"? If you insist, Sir. - With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.

      [He places the ring on what he thinks is a root. As he turns away, the root shoots out, grabs Victor's arm and almost pulls him into the ground. Victor pulls himself free and finds a detatched skeletal hand gripping his arm. He watches as the ground gives way and an unearthly female figure, wearing a dishevelled wedding dress, rises from beneath the tree. She pulls back her veil]

      The Corpse Bride: I do.

      Emily is referred to on-screen by name, but is only credited as "Corpse Bride."
    • Alternate versions
      On Disney XD's airing of the film, Alfred saying, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," was muted out.

    8/10
    Beautifully crafted
    This is not my favourite Tim Burton movie by a long shot, but I did find myself enjoying it. The animation is absolutely amazing with the dark bold colours and inspired visual ideas. The music is good too, it adds very well to the atmosphere. The four songs are pretty decent, if nothing special. Remains of the Day was the one I liked best. The script is witty and deliciously dark in places, while the story is clever and fairly original, even if it drags slightly occasionally. The characters are wonderfully quirky and the voice work from the likes of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter is top notch. All in all, a beautifully crafted film, if not quite Burton's finest hour. 8/10 Bethany Cox
