Jewish folktale version of an older Jewish story and set in a fictional
Victorian era England. It was
directed by
Tim Burton and
Mike Johnson, and filmed at
3 Mills Studios in
London. It stars
Johnny Depp as the voice of Victor and
Helena Bonham Carter as the voice of the Corpse Bride. This is the first animated film in which Johnny Depp has been a
voice actor. The film was nominated in the 78th Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. Ironically, it lost to another
stop-motion animated feature,
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
