end this marriage and make it back above ground before it's too late.

The film includes all the elements of a classic Tim Burton production, and was even nominated for an Oscar (for Best Animated Feature Film). It won a slew of other awards, and has even inspired some fans to use the wedding vows in it for their own ceremonies. The film is also often compared to Beetlejuice, with catchy musical numbers in a particularly spooky world that crosses over with the world we know - although there are no current plans for a live-action version.

However, It Is Available To Stream In Canada And The UK

Corpse Bride is not currently available to stream for free in the U.S. The film was previously accessible on HBO Max but left the platform in mid-2023, much to the disappointment of Tim Burton lovers. At present, it is not part of any major streaming service in the U.S., though as titles come and go from streaming services on a regular basis, it's very likely that this will return to a streaming service at some point in the future.
