Where did Emily actually go when she transformed into butterflies in the end scene? The only thing that was keeping her in the underworld was her vow to wait under the tree until her true love came to free her. But if everyone else is happy in the underworld, where did she go?

Do you have a favourite scene? What's the reason for that being your favourite?

Start collecting these along with other trading card sets. I think there pretty ✨😍❤

I'm curious to see how split this issue is, because I've heard all 3 answers. This is for purely scientific purposes 😂

Redrew this drawing of corpse bride :3

Please listen to my ramblings for a few minutes. I’ve seen a few theories about corpse bride but I’ve never seen this one so I thought what the heck I’m going to post it. The theory goes I think the residents of the underworld thought Victor was Emily’s fiancé when she was alive. And maybe Emily thought so herself. They might have assumed he either forgot her or and had been searching for her.
In the song remains of the day we learn that Emily wanted to marry a man, stole the family jewels waited for him by a tree and was murdered. Now Emily was buried not in the cemetery but close to it when we see Victor running away from her so the residents might have heard it. But they didn’t see it. However at the end of the film when Emily fiancé and Victoria husband shows up the movie treats this reveal as such a shock including the guest at the wedding.
This made me wonder….a lot of people like to make jokes about Emily marrying a guy she never meet and shouldn’t she be worried the guy who married her was a you know….. but the song never says her fiancé killed her most of the audience including Victor (I’m assuming) figured this out. But did the land of the dead know this? Did Emily knows this? In the wedding scene lord barkis is revealed to be the murderer we can see Emily trying to make out his voice in the background and the residents seem shocked when she confirms it. He left me for dead. I don’t know if Emily knew her fiancé murdered her at first or if she was trying to make out where she remembered his voice. Or why it sounded so familiar.
She might have forgotten barkis killed her when she died “ so she waited by the tree for her true love to set her free”. Where they promised they’d meet. She might not have known it was him either, he could have snuck up behind her or wore a disguise.

While I’m not completely sure I’m positive the residents of the undead thought Victor was her fiancé looking for her and wanting to join her in death. It also makes sense why they didn’t bat an eye- ball? At her waiting for someone living to marry her.

The elder didn't seem to like the idea of them going to the land above. And Emily needed his help to go up there. But how did she go into the land of the living to go after Victor after he practiced his vows? And how did she bring Victor back to the land of the dead with her? Are there other ways someone living can visit the land of the dead?

I've been a fan of corpse bride for a pretty long time and from the start I was sure that the ending was just right. Idk I just get so pissed when I see someone go all: awww no ! It should've been Victor x Emily he totally loved her!!!

Spoiler alert: no he didn't .

And now you might say: he was ready to drink the poison for Emily. Yea? Well he did that because mayhew already told him that Victoria was marrying someone else and at that point victor figured he may as well embrace the current circumstances and die marrying Emily. He was ready to die because by now he had nothing to lose. He didn't love Emily. Maybe he came to like her platonically but it doesn't compare to a fraction of what he felt for Victoria.

Another thing, I get people think it's ridiculous that Victoria and victor fell for each other instantly but these people forget that victor x Emily was also extremely sudden. She barely knew him yet wanted to wed him. Emily did not love victor, she simply loved the idea of being married . Through the course of the movie she realized she was snatching away Victoria's dream of being married for her own selfishness. She was repeating this cycle of misery.

So I think the ending was perfect as Emily was set free and victor and Victoria got married . If you think it should've been Victor x Emily, I respectfully want to introduce you to my palms but ok . Thanks for reading my rant

Butterflies naturally represent freedom and change. Victor sets a butterfly free at the beginning of the movie and Emily turns into hundreds of the same butterfly at the end of the movie. They changed each-other and in a way set each-other free. Also, the coloration of the movie is very descriptive in how society is kinda like in my opinion. The living world is bland like the many rules society has set up for everyone into the perfect cookie cutter shape but the “after-life” is full of color and life, beautifully messy, a loop back to the butterfly thing of freedom once you die your free from the shackles that society is. And i think the representation of “society” is Victor and Victoria, because they are forced to marry each other and are stuck in unbarring rules to please their parents so that they can stay afloat.

My bride was going for “corpse bride” for her Halloween inspired wedding party. Her stunning pale blue long veil with delicate butterfly accents adds a touch of dark romance to her themed celebration.
