Ok Johnny dep was the perfect choice for a withdrawn, shy, self conscious character. However, while Jim’s voice would have been out of place, maybe his wackyness and improve would have added to the character. Not saying it would sound better, it honestly would be out of place, but, I don’t know, Victor always felt lacking as a character, maybe he needed more spontaneous lines and quips. I wish we could combine Johnny’s voice with Jim’s off the cuff improve ability.

I still believe that the butterfly Victor had at the beginning was one made after Emily lost her life, I have no evidence to back it up it just feels right

[aspiringjoker]

You expect me to believe that Tim Burton would have cast anyone other than Helena and Johnny?

[NobleFaeriie]

Anything that has both johnny depp AND Helena bonham Carter is instantly a favorite for me!

Alan Rickman would’ve been interesting to hear from Barkis

Tbh I never considered the Duel and poison being a reference to Hamlet!
For those who don't know, Hamlet had to duel against Laertes because he accidentally killed Polonius, Laertes' father, behind the curtain because he thought he was Claudius and also Laertes was furious because of Ophelia's suicide and Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, ended up drinking the poison and dying

I knew the last reason meant something, I always thought those butterflies looked like Emily’s butterflies, and it meant something.

Fun fact: Barkis is a mix of both Rumpelstiltskin and Beethoven.

Another fun fact is that the story of the corpse bride is really old and has different versions depending on who tells it. The general jist is that a young man or group of young men where messing around in the woods, and accidentally proposed to a corpse (buried, or stuffed in a tree) and they had to talk to a priest to undo the union.

I love Jim Carey but since he’s more of a comedian I’ve noticed some films he played in that was like more of a drama he tried making it comedies doing his own thing which ended up not being funny…. If anything Jim Carey could’ve played that 1 skeleton with the 1 eyeball.

[HerbFaery]

I LOVE this movie sooo much. I never get tired of watching it

[bluecoin]

Barkis sounds close to Bacchus. Bacchus was the Greek god of parties and wine, and what pray tell is Barkis usually seen with 🍷?

I feel like Alan Rickman would be better at playing Barkis.
