Tim Burton's
The Corpse Bride
Trying our best not to jog anyone's elbow, Total Film watches as Corpse Bride animators huddle over and exquisite 13-inch model, giving excruciatingly slow life to the star of Tim Burton's astonishing new stop motion fantasy."With a good run of 10 hour days, a fair wind and the retained sanity of the animator," smiles co-director Michael Johnson,"we can get Emily to walk about six steps in a week..."
The wraith like Corpse Bride, voiced by Helena Bonham Carter, is minutely sculpted from roughly the same amount of silicone as your average Hollywood DD cup.She's a lure for hapless bridegroom Victor(Johnny Depp), who's dragged to the Underworld to wed the mysterious virgin, while his real love (Emily Watson) attempts to woo him back to the Land Of The Living."The Land Of The Living is dull, almost monochromatic," explains designer Alex McDowell,"while the colourful Land Of The Dead suggests a particularly 'spirited' afterlife." Necrophilia has never looked so enchanting.
FACT! Depp and Burton worked on Corpse Bride simultaneously with Charlie
and The Chocolate Factory.
