Warner Home Video has spilled the beans on some of the tasty nuggets to be included on the upcoming home vid release of the animated feature Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. The PG-13 pic about a romantic triangle involving a re-animated beauty will be available to own on January 31, 2006.
Corpse Bride stars Johnny Depp as the voice of Victor, a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to the mysterious title character, voiced by Helena Bonham Carter. While the Land of the Dead proves more lively than his Victorian England, Victor must find a way to get back above ground to his fianc’e, Victoria (Emily Watson).
DVD special features will include a behind-the-scenes documentary titled Inside the Two Worlds, an in-depth look at how the animators approach their characters, a featurette on the film’s creator titled Tim Burton – Dark vs. Light, an exploration of how the voice cast helped bring the animation puppets to life, an inside and tour the puppet workshop, pre-production galleries, a featurette on how composer Danny Elfman Interpreted the film’s two distinct worlds and
a music-only track.
Though it was a hit with critics, Corpse Bride wasn’t quite as successful at the box office as other recent animated releases such as DreamWorks’ Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Disney’s Chicken Little. Corpse took in nearly $100 million worldwide and should generate a nice chunk of change from Burton devotees on disc.
