In creation of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride no computer animation was used. One of the most original and amusing stop motion animated films ever. Nervous but lovable. Corpse Bride’s movie plot and 3D characters seem to be very straightforward but actually all 3D sets and characters are hand made models. Each motion picture frame was carefully animated by hand. Can you imagine human efforts to create every pose?

Similar efforts were successfully handled by both George Pal and Ray Harryhausen before. Note that stop-motion animation is used to be a moderately frequent special effect in Hollywood films. Computer animation surely is very technologically advanced today but still stop-motion hand made animation has advantages of complex realistic textures and lighting. All the anime characters, from the skeletons to the living dead are just real as it could be. Hollywood now rarely uses stop motion animation. It costs so much labor and no one dares to create highest quality animation like Corpse Bride.

Helena Bonham Carter, a favorite of Tim Burton and all such Gothic type films, she gives her voice to main character Emily in such a gloomy ghostly way. Emily is weirdly attractive in blue skin for sure, but being a corpse is hard. One arm is boned, regular difficulties with eyeball pops and unhappily companionship by death as a result of unhappy unsatisfied real life.

In short, Corpse Bride is a true gem in American animation industry. A guaranteed entertainment by genius Tim Burton, as we already accustomed to seeing. Already a cult animation eventhough it didn't get much attention by jealous academicians.
