Corpse Bride
Corpse Bride mistake picture

Audio problem: In the scene where Victor plays the piano for the first time in the movie, we hear him playing long, sustained notes, which obviously need to be played with a pedal down. However, he doesn't use the sustain pedal. What's more strange is, the piano does not even have a sustain pedal.

Audio problem: In the scene where Victor plays his solo for the first time he gets scared from the appearance of Victoria. As he and her are talking Victoria's mother shouts at them for being together. We don't hear Victoria's mother's footsteps like as she was leading Victor's parents for tea. And we would have heard the door creak as Victoria's mother came out from "teatime".

Question: In one of the extras, Tim Burton says that he got the idea for Corpse Bride from a story. He said just that it was just a few paragraphs, but what is the story that he is talking about?

Answer: It's a 19th century Russian Jewish folk-tale - the story starts quite similarly, with the lead character saying his vows while putting the ring on what he believes to be a stick. The tale generally finishes with the rabbis annulling the marriage and the living bride vowing to honour the memory of the corpse bride throughout her marriage - which ties into the Jewish tradition of honouring the dead through the lives of the living.
