Classic Tim Burton Animated Movie Gets 4K Release With New Content
Warner Bros. has announced the Corpse Bride 4K and digital release date for Tim Burton‘s fan-favorite stop-motion supernatural animated movie, which originally debuted in theaters in 2005. During its theatrical run, it garnered a worldwide gross of over $118 million at the box office.
“Tim Burton presents a hair-raising legend based on a 19th-century Russian folktale, in which a young man mistakenly weds a corpse while on a two-day trek to the village of his real bride-to-be,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “It is up to the groom’s flesh-and-blood fiancée, who has been pining for the arrival of her intended, to face her wraith-like rival and make peace with her by promising to live her dreams for her and by vowing to remember her always. Only then are the living bride and groom free to proceed with their own wedding ceremony in the warmhearted fable.”
