Synopsis: Although they have never met, this young couple is forced to marriage by their parents. It turns out that they could love each other, but the boy accidentaly marries... a corpse bride, and he will have to decide between the Living and the Dead.
Review: A typical Tim Burton movie of that period, but on the same topic (the Dead meet the Living), I largely prefer Beetlejuice from the same director. The animation is very well done, and the contrast between the two worlds is striking: the world of the Dead is actually more colorful and funny as the one of the Living! Some dialog lines are quite funny, like when this dead old man tells to the boy: "Why do you wish so much to get back up there while they are all dying to get down here?". I am not found of the songs and find them a bit boring but fortunately there are only five. The humor is dark and in the end the movie is quite depressing, but I guess that is the point.
Rating: 5 /10
