 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Corpse Bride .
Butterflies . Emily thanks Victor for setting her free after Lord Barkis dies. She realizes that she and Victor do not belong together, and that Victor belongs with Victoria. When she steps into the moonlight, she turns into many butterflies. A butterfly is also shown being followed during the opening credits of "Corpse Bride". It is Tim Burton's trademark to have his opening credits following something or moving through something.
I hope you liked my quiz and enjoyed the movie, "Corpse Bride", as much as I did. Feel free to leave me any comments or corrections.
Victor. Victor is about to drink the poison at his wedding to Emily, when Emily stops him. She tells him that she loves him, but she knows they do not belong together. Lord Barkis Bittern crashes the wedding and tries to kill Victor, but Emily stands in the way. Lord Barkis then drinks the poison, obviously believing it to be wine. When his heart stops, the other dead corpses take out Emily's revenge on him. Mayhew is the Van Dort's driver who dies during the movie when he coughs himself to death and gets run over by the carriage.
Scraps. Emily gives Victor a wedding present that is a box of bones. Victor is horrified when he first opens it, but then the bones reassemble themselves into his old dog, Scraps.
Finnis Everglot. After Victor agrees to die so that he and Emily can be remarried, they need to go up to the living world to perform the wedding. The Everglots including Victoria, their family, and Lord Barkis Bittern are sitting at the dining table eating a post-wedding meal when skeletons and corpses appear behind them. Mr. Finnis Everglot has his back to them, and says this line when one of the skeleton's eyes pops out and falls in his soup.
Victor has to die. Victor and Emily's marriage is invalid because they are only married until death do them part. Since Emily is already dead, Elder Gutknecht, voiced by Michael Gough, tells her they aren't married. According to Elder Gutknecht, the wise old man from the dead world, the only way Victor and Emily's marriage can be valid is if Victor drinks the poison to make his heart stop. Victor overhears them talking about this, and tells Emily he would die. Emily tells Elder Gutknecht that she could never ask Victor to do such a thing.
Lord Barkis. Lord Barkis Bittern, voiced by Richard E. Grant, is the villain of the film. He is the Corpse Bride's fiance who ends up murdering her on their way to elope. He is a greedy, cocky man who marries Victoria for her money, only to find out her family is broke. Lord Barkis gets what he deserves at the end of the film though, when he drinks poison.
The Everglots (Victoria's parents). Maudeline and Finnis Everglot (voiced by Joanna Lumley and Albert Finney, respectively) think that the Van Dorts are too common to have their daughter marry their son. The Everglots are broke, however, and see that the marriage must occur in order to stay off the streets.
Helena Bonham Carter. Emily is murdered on her way to her wedding, and she is waiting, buried in the forest, for her true love to ask for her hand in marriage. Throughout the movie she brings Victor out of his shell.
"Corpse Bride" is Helena Bonham Carter's fourth film with director Tim Burton. Her three movies prior to this are "Planet of the Apes" (2001), "Big Fish" (2003), and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005).
four. "According to Plan", "Remains of the Day", "Tears to Shed", and "The Wedding Song" are the four that are sung.
| Before the song "Tears to Shed", what does the Corpse Bride call Victoria? | Corpse Bride
|
Little Miss Living. The Corpse Bride resents Victoria for being alive, and the maggot and the black widow try to show her that she has more to offer Victor, in spite of being dead.
it's never said. Scraps, Victor's childhood dog, is nothing but a skeleton when Victor is reunited with him in the Land of the Dead.
Lord. Like Victoria's father, Barkis is a lord. Had Victoria stayed married to him, she would have been Lady Bittern.
Nell and William. Nell and William Van Dort only want Victor to marry Victoria because the marriage will make them popular among the other rich people in their village.
Mayhew. Mayhew dies from coughing and falls off the carriage to be run over. Although Emily is the first dead person to be seen in the movie, she is already dead before the film starts.
He drinks the wine of ages.. Lord Barkis (trying to make a snobby exit) mistakes the wine of ages for regular wine. It is originally there for Victor to drink so he can die and marry Emily.
Lord Everglot. Lord Everglot says this twice in the movie. Once when he finds that Victor has fled, and another when the dead walk amongst the living. He is always grumpy.
Mayhew. Mrs. Van Dort is constantly warning Mayhew to silence his cough. Towards the end of the movie when Mr. and Mrs. Van Dort are searching for Victor, Mayhew coughs until he dies.
Alfred. When Alfred calls his living wife Gertrude, she realizes it is him in corpse form and says "Alfred? You've been dead for fifteen years."
He thinks her family is wealthy.. When everybody has fled the Everglot home, Victoria and Lord Barkis are left alone. Lord Barkis tells Victoria to grab all of her family's money and run away with him. He gets mad when Victoria tells him they are destitute.
Albert Finney. Lord Everglot is a snobby, grumpy and mean old man who will do anything for money.
It is very hard to mistake Albert Finney's voice for anyone else's. "Corpse Bride" is Albert Finney's first animated film.
Lord Barkis. Emily (The Corpse Bride) says to everyone and Lord Barkis that he left her for dead. Even when Bone Jangles is singing his song about Emily, it shows a shadow that looks exactly like Lord Barkis.
They are fish merchants.. When Mr. and Mrs. Everglot are by the window they talk about how low it is to be relatives to fish merchants. They are only letting Victoria marry Victor because they are destitute.
Tim Burton. "Corpse Bride" is Tim Burton's third stop motion animation film. It took three years to make this movie. He also directed "Vincent".
| What is the name of the nefarious 'nobleman' who appears at the wedding rehearsal? | 'Corpse Bride' I

| Which comedy actress is responsible not only for the voice of Victor's mother Nell, but also for the servant Hildegarde? | 'Corpse Bride' I
|
Tracey Ullman. Tracey Ullman is an absolute master of disguising her voice, so playing two different speaking roles is piece of cake for her. Surprisingly, this is the first time she and Tim Burton have worked together.

Butterfly. Though Tim Burton is known for his delight in the macabre, he never hesitates to be inclusive of some beauty in his films. The butterfly is a foreshadowing of the ending.

Ukrainian. Apparently, the Ukrainian haunting spell merely requires the egg of a crow. Elder Gutknecht cracks open the egg and Victor and the Corpse Bride are soon spirited back to the land of the living. To return to the realm of the dead, they merely need to say 'hopscotch'.
