Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Featuring music by iconic film composer Danny Elfman in collaboration with screenwriter John August, the songs of Corpse Bride masterfully embody the distinctive aesthetics of the film’s co-director, Tim Burton. This quirky and darkly comedic but family-friendly stop-motion animated film is one of Tim Burton's best films, following a man named Victor who accidentally finds himself married to a corpse.
7 The Piano Duet Though it doesn't have any lyrics, "The Piano Duet" is a gorgeous piece of music that is integral in Victor and Emily's developing relationship. Emily begins by defeatedly playing a gloomy refrain from her earlier solo "Tears To Shed", until Victor sits down next to her and attempts to play something that will console her.
5 Tears to Shed "Tears to Shed" is a song with two very different and competing melodies. One is a ballad sung by Emily with the film's most heartfelt and emotional lyrics, and the other is a half-spoken, half-sung vamp for her two insect companions as they try to cheer her up. The focus is on the intentions and feelings of the characters, with the three actors delivering phenomenal performances.
3 According to Plan This song introduces both Victor's and Victoria's parents as they prepare for the wedding rehearsal, dictating their plans to their children with an insistence and selfishness that is reflected in the song's non-stop speed and annunciation, never allowing their two children to get a word in. The music has a circus-like vibe to it that highlights the foolishness of the parents and captures their obsession with things working out in spite of reality.
