OK, I saw this movie today, and I have to say, it didn't really do it for me. I mean, the animation was amazing and the models were beautifully made, but the storyline was terrible! It always gets me with this kind of film-- the hero/heroine always falls in love within five minutes of knowing the other person. He meets Victoria, she basically tells him she is unaccomplished (cannot play piano or do anything else interesting), she does pretty much whatever her mother tells her to, and she likes to be called Victoria. So I can only assume that it is on the basis that she is not hideously ugly that Victor falls in love with her. (oh yeah, and; 'Victor and Victoria'??? ewww!) Whereas the corpse bride is open about her love for him, has a much more interesting background (he knows a hell of a lot more about her anyway) and plays the piano beautifully. They are perfectly matched! I really think he should have died. That would have really been a happy ending. Well, a Gothic ending.
Thankyou.
and btw, did anyone else get freaked out by the title? ever heard of necrophilia???
