Victor & Victoria in the Victorian era
|
First of all, what threw me off about this film that it was somewhat a musical or rather, an operetta. If I had known about that beforehand, I would have been prepared. How? Good question. For some reason, in the beginning, I thought I was gonna watch an animated version of *Evita*. I loved *Evita*. I'm just not sure if I'd like an animated (the stop-motion kind) version of a musical.
Secondly, I thought this animated film was slow-paced along with a couple of dry (boring) scenes.
In the Victorian era, a marriage has been arranged between Victor and Victoria. (I couldn't help but think of Julie Andrews in *Victor/Victoria*.) When they meet for the first time, they realized that their parents may have not made such a bad decision. However, when it comes to wedding rehearsal, Victor just could not say his traditional vows properly.
Done for the day but with a scolding from the bishop, Victor heads out to the forest for some solitude. In the midst, he practices his vows. Using some twigs as a prop to practice his vows and the placement of the ring, he finally gets it right. However, the twigs turned out to be the fingers of the corpse bride, Emily.
Dreadfully, Victor learns that, even though he was practicing, his vows makes him officially married to Emily. So, throughout the film, Victor does everything he can to get out of this marriage and back to Victoria.
The problem is that his (real-life) wedding is the next day and Emily will not let him go. You'll have to watch the rest to see what happens.
Cute but bizarre movie. Bizarre because of the operetta and not just the overall gothic, deathly appearance. Again, slow-paced. |
