Corpse Bride, 2005. Directed by Tim Burton & Mike Johnson. Featuring the voice talents of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Christopher Lee, Albert Finney, Michael Gough, Tracey Ullman, Joanna Lumley, Richard E. Grant, and Paul Whitehouse. SYNOPSIS: A young man preparing for marriage is unexpectedly taken to the underworld, where he inadvertently becomes wed to a corpse bride. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, to use its complete title, has been released on 4K UHD 20 years after its debut in theaters. Although it remains a relatively 'modern' film, it possesses a quaint and 'old-world' charm that decades of CGI and animation techniques have failed to diminish. In fact, if it weren't for the special features on the disc showcasing the filmmaking process, one might assume it was solely a CGI creation done by a few animators on a computer due to the stunning quality of its visuals. However, Corpse Bride primarily employs stop-motion puppetry, and with its new 4K enhancement, it now appears as polished and seamless as anything stored in Hollywood’s archives. Inspired by a 17th-century Russian-Jewish folktale, Corpse Bride tells the story of Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp), who is engaged to Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), an aristocrat. This marriage aims to elevate the social position of the Van Dorts and restore wealth to the impoverished Everglots. After a wedding rehearsal where Victor struggles with his vows—much to the dismay of the menacing Pastor Galswells (Christopher Lee)—he takes a walk in the woods to practice. When he mistakenly places the ring on a branch resembling a hand, he accidentally awakens the titular Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter) and is carried off to the underworld, where he meets the assortment of skeletons and monsters residing there. Meanwhile, in the real world, Victoria is heartbroken over her missing bridegroom. When she learns he is now wed to another—specifically, a corpse—it sets the stage for the devious Lord Barkis Bittern (Richard E. Grant) to swoop in and claim her for himself, much to the delight of her parents, who see an opportunity for wealth. However, all is not as it seems with Lord Barkis—could he have a prior connection with the Corpse Bride? With a narrative that, if portrayed as a live-action horror film, might provoke serious inquiries for Tim Burton, Corpse Bride is rather a charming romantic tale that appeals to audiences of all ages. The stop-motion animation has always been top-notch, and now with its upgrade, it is visually striking, especially in the underworld, where, in classic Tim Burton fashion, vibrant greens and purples leap from the screen reminiscent of a neon-lit 1980s music video (and yes, there are musical segments, but don’t let that deter you). In stark contrast, the real world is portrayed as gloomy and bleak, illuminated only by a bluish moonlight that outlines the details of the Victorian architecture, leaving one to wonder whether these are actual puppets or digital creations due to their impeccable appearance. However, it is not solely the animation that breathes life into the characters; the impressive voice performances from Burton’s frequent collaborators during this era are noteworthy. Johnny Depp was a fitting choice at the time, but his role is understated since Victor is a rather timid character with little dialogue. Similarly, Victoria doesn’t have much to express, leaving it to Helena Bonham Carter as the Corpse Bride to infuse some personality into the main trio, which she does splendidly. In fact, it is the supporting characters who provide the most exuberance to the narrative, particularly Christopher Lee as Pastor Galswell and Albert Finney as Victoria’s father, Lord Finis Everglot, who delivers a memorable line: “There’s an eye in me soup” during the chaos when the deceased return for their wedding celebration. Accompanied by several studio featurettes on the film's making—highlighted by the process of puppet creation—Corpse Bride on 4K UHD makes for a captivating addition to your Halloween viewing this year. It is both highly entertaining and technically impressive, and while its songs may not be as unforgettable as those in The Nightmare Before Christmas, this concise film, running at just 77 minutes, is filled with dark humor, whimsically macabre imagery, and heartfelt performances, easily cementing Corpse Bride as Tim Burton’s most accomplished animated work to date.

Flickering Myth Rating – Film: ★ ★ ★ ★ / Movie: ★ ★ ★ ★ Chris Ward Hot Toys has revealed the sixth scale Batman (XE Suit Hellbat Version), inspired by the Dark Knight's look in the Batman: Arkham Origins DLC narrative 'Cold, Cold Heart'. With only 2000 units available, this collectible can now be pre-ordered for $315; take a look here... In the story DLC of Batman: Arkham Origins […] Australia's fiercely competitive midsize pickup segment is set to welcome a new player: the Chinese MGU9. MG has introduced its inaugural Australian pickup, which is based on the Maxus Terron 9. It features a multi-link rear axle and a power tailgate equipped with a step. Powering the pickup is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that produces 215 hp. The brand-new MGU9 represents MG's significant entry into Australia's competitive midsize pickup market. While MG is not new to producing trucks globally, this marks the first time an MG-branded pickup will be available in local showrooms. Built on the chassis of the Chinese Maxus/LDV Terron 9, the MGU9 retains much of its sibling’s components but includes unique features to distinguish it. Visually, the MGU9 resembles the Terron 9 for the most part, though there are several notable differences. The larger grille has been redesigned with more chrome and prominently displays the MG badge. A revamped bumper adds definition to the front, while the rear features a powered tailgate that includes a foldable step for easier access. Besides providing a step, this powered tailgate also serves as a bench with cupholders for enjoying drinks during breaks. Another interesting feature is the MG Smart Hatch system, which increases cargo space using a foldable mid-gate and a drop-down rear window, though it is only available on the top-tier Explore Pro trim. Inside, the standout feature is an aircraft-inspired gear selector unique to MG. The cabin design is similar to the LDV Terron 9, complete with dual 12.3-inch displays in the digital cockpit. The Explore Pro further enhances comfort with heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, heated outboard rear seats, an eight-speaker JBL audio system, a panoramic glass roof, and leather upholstery featuring a suede headliner. Despite sharing a ladder-frame platform with its Chinese counterpart, MG Australia emphasizes that the MGU9 was specifically designed and tested for local conditions. Key to this assertion is the adoption of a multi-link independent rear suspension, moving away from the typical leaf springs found in this segment. MG claims that this configuration improves ride comfort and handling while maintaining load-carrying capability. Under the hood, it features a SAIC-produced 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine, delivering 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and 520 Nm (383.5 lb-ft) of torque, which is 4 hp (3 kW) less than the diesel LDV, likely due to different tuning. The engine is matched with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner four-wheel-drive system that includes a low-range transfer case. Buyers can also opt for electronically controlled locking differentials on both axles. MG claims a towing capacity of 3,500 kg (7,716 lbs) and a payload ranging from 770 to 870 kg (1,698-1,918 lbs), figures that keep it competitive with other midsize pickups. The MGU9 has dimensions of 5,500 mm (216.5 inches) in length, 2,265 mm (89.2 inches) in width, and 1,874 mm (73.8 inches) in height, with a wheelbase measuring 3,300 mm (129.9 inches). This length makes it 130 mm (5.1 inches) longer than the Ford Ranger, with an additional 30 mm (1.2 inches) between the axles. The MGU9 is currently available for pre-order in Australia, with deliveries expected to start in late 2025. The starting price is AU$ 52,990 (US$ 34,900) for the base Explore model, while the top-tier Explore Pro trim is priced at AU$ 60,990 (US$ 40,200). This pricing is only marginally higher than the LDV Terron 9, which lacks the multi-link rear suspension and the innovative tailgate features. The new model enters a highly competitive market led by the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, while also competing against the Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, VW Amarok, Kia Tasman, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara, BYD Shark 6, and GWM Cannon Alpha. Interestingly, the MGU9 will soon have another relative in a different part of the world. The forthcoming VW Amarok Hybrid pickup will share its underlying architecture and components with the Maxus/LDV Terron 9, though it will feature an electrified powertrain and will be manufactured at the General Pacheco factory in Argentina for South American markets.
