One wedding, two brides, and a grave misunderstanding. Returning to the painstaking stop-motion animation he employed in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton presents a hair-raising legend based on a 19th-century Russian folk tale, in which a young man mistakenly weds a corpse while on a two-day trek to the village of his real bride-to-be.

It’s up to the groom's flesh-and-blood fiancée, who has been pining for the arrival of her intended, to face her rival and make peace by promising to live out her dreams for her and vowing to always remember her. Not seen on the big screen for far too long, this warm-hearted fable is back in a gorgeous 4K restoration to celebrate its 20th anniversary! 

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature film.
