One of Tim Burton’s Most Underrated Movies Is Now Streaming (And It’s Free)

Tim Burton is widely acknowledged as one of cinema’s most inventive and visually striking directors, with a distinctive style that sets him apart. From his debut in mainstream fame with films like “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and “Beetlejuice,” the director has consistently delivered box office and critical successes. His movies, characterized by Burton’s signature dark, whimsical aesthetics and innovative storytelling techniques, are instantly recognizable, conjuring images of “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Edward Scissorhands,” and “Frankenweenie.”

However, not all of Burton’s films receive the acclaim they deserve. Now, fans have the opportunity to revisit one of the director’s often overlooked masterpieces.

2005 marked Tim Burton’s first foray into feature animation directing with “Corpse Bride”. Starting to stream on Tubi from September 1st, this film often gets overshadowed by other titles in Burton’s career. However, it’s a must-watch for any fan of the director. Drawing inspiration from an ancient Jewish folktale, the story unfolds in a Victorian village setting, where a jittery groom accidentally marries a corpse bride on his wedding eve with his living fiancée. The story then leads us into the realm of the dead and a race against time. Notable voices in this film include Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Emily Watson.

Why You Should Watch Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride

On September 23, 2005, the animated film “Corpse Bride” was widely successful upon its release in theaters. It generated over $118 million worldwide, with a domestic gross of $53.4 million. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating of 84% from critics and 77% from audiences. Moreover, “Corpse Bride” marked Tim Burton’s first Oscar nomination in the Best Animated Feature category at the 78th Academy Awards. Additionally, it received recognition with nominations from the National Board of Review and Annie Awards.

Even though the movie “Corpse Bride” received favorable reviews and made money at the box office, it didn’t gain as much mainstream recognition as other Tim Burton films. However, it remains a notable achievement in his career due to its exceptional visual appeal, thanks to its innovative stop-motion animation technique and unique blend of dark and whimsical elements that distinctively portray the contrast between the living world and the afterlife – a characteristic that has become synonymous with Burton’s animated works. The film boasts captivating characters, intricate detailing, an immersive narrative exploring themes like love, sorrow, and self-discovery, and a magnificent soundtrack by Danny Elfman that keeps viewers enchanted from start to finish.
