Some notes:<br>The beginning song was SUPPOSED to be underwhelming. It wasnt the main focus of the story yet, and it adds to the dreariness of the town.<br>- Emily never married Barkus, they were engaged. She stole her own wealth so they could take off and elope, but Barkus killed her and took her money. That's why she was waiting to be married.<br>- the butterfly ending was symbolic. Referring to the beginning, Barkus was swatting away a butterfly - the only color in the land of the living. She turned into butterflies as symbolism of being free from him and making peace with her death. Shes no longer a woman in white (so to speak)

The reason Emily decided to stop the wedding, is literally said in dialogue. She doesn’t want the same thing to happen to Victoria that happened to her, and I think she’s right to do that. When she faded into butterflies it’s a symbol that she is at peace, and free. She found this closure through allowing Victoria to have in life what Emily couldn’t

I think Emily giving Victor up was the most mature ending. It was clear Victor was going to marry Emily only because he felt he lost Victoria and wanted to make right at least one wrong (giving poor Emily a happy ending).<br><br>But she realized it wasn't right, that it was good enough for her to feel accepted for who she is and that she doesn't need a husband to find peace with herself. <br><br>This definitely could've used more padding but I feel it was effective nonetheless

I'm fairly certain the world of the dead is just for people with unfinished business. Emily turning into butterflies is a representation of her finishing her business and passing on to the afterlife

Fun fact: The animation for Corpse Bride was done so buttery smooth and perfect, people kept thinking Burton made it using CG and not stop motion! He did not like this, as he's pretty proud of his stop motion style, so when Frankenweenie was made, he cut back just a bit on the smoothness of his animation to show it really was stop motion.

I think the reason Emily looks the way she does is because she was buried on a shallow grave with her arm and leg sticking out. They decomposed faster, being exposed to the elements. The only further question is how no one in the village found her in that time.

Fun fact: in Helenistic Greek mythology, Butterflies were a symbol of the soul, the mind, and death

Fun Fact: In the very beginning, when Victor is sketching a butterfly, this scene is supposed to foreshadow what's going to happen to Emilie in the end. Just like the butterfly is trapped under the glass dome in the beginning, Emilie is also trapped, but in "wedding limbo". And just like Victor sets the butterfly free from its prison in the beginning, he will also set Emilie free from her vows with Lord Barkis in the end. Which is why she turns into butterflies specifically, so it'll show the parallels between the beginning and ending

I’m pretty sure that it was intentional when they made According to Plan a little underwhelming and not a very strong opening, they did it so you could be completely blown away by Remains of the Day, and my god did it work

I actually like how Emily and Victoria subverts the Betty and Veronica archetype in love triangles. Instead of having Victor all to herself, Emily lets him go so that Victoria can be happy with him. It’s healing from her traumatic past that is her happy ending. I think it’s a genuinely good message to teach to children about not always having the one at the end. What matters is finding their happiness with or without a love interest and both choices are valid.<br><br>Edit: Jesus Christ, why can’t some people behave? -_-

I like how Victoria looks traumatized throughout the movie after Victor is viscously dragged away by Emily.
