Mostly True Stop Motion
Digital effects were used sparingly for elements such as fog, fire, butterflies and occasionally Emily's veil, while the characters and their facial performances remained genuine stop-motion animation.

Why it's in the Vault
Corpse Bride is one of those films I enjoy as much for the world it creates as for the story itself. I love its gothic look, its strange tenderness and the contrast between the lifeless world of the living and the wonderfully colorful land of the dead. The story works and there are moments I genuinely love, but the rhythm feels uneven to me: it can lose my attention before pulling me back in again. Still, its atmosphere and visual identity are distinctive enough that I am always happy to return to it.

Dans les coulisses
Ce qu'on ne voit pas à l'écran
Victor Lost His Song
Danny Elfman originally wrote a vocal song for Victor, but it was removed when the film was becoming too long, before Johnny Depp had recorded the vocals.
Songs Before Animation
Elfman's songs had to be completed before their sequences could be animated, with the filmmakers then adjusting storyboards and animation around the finished music.
A Painful Bonejangles
Elfman ultimately performed Bonejangles himself in Remains of the Day. The deliberately rough voice was so demanding that he could record for only short periods before resting it.
A Different World for the Dead
The film deliberately reverses expectations: the Victorian world of the living is drained and restrained, while the underworld is energetic, musical and visually exuberant.
