Hopeless romantics and fans of the undead can rejoice, as Tim Burton’s gothic fantasy epic Corpse Bride is getting a limited edition 4K steelbook. While a release date is still up in the air, the steelbook, which celebrates the movie's 20th anniversary, is already available for preorder on Amazon for $34.99. Originally released in 2005, this new edition sees the cult flick reimagined in 4K Ultra HD resolution – so you can appreciate the stop-motion animation at its Sunday best.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Ultra HD + Digital)
The limited edition steelbook features a minimalist outer case, with the title appearing on the front in the distinctly craggy ‘Corpse Bride’ font. Inside, behind the disc, you can find a large image of the Corpse Bride herself, alongside some of her undead counterparts, including General Wellington, the one-eyed Bonejangles, and protagonist Victor Van Dort's beloved skeleton pup Scraps.
Special features for the new 4K steelbook have yet to be announced, but here's what was included in the original Blu-ray that released back in 2005:
- Inside the Two Worlds
- Danny Elfman Interprets the Two Worlds
- The Animators: The Breath of Life
- Tim Burton: Dark vs. Light
- Voices from the Underworld
- Making Puppets Tick
- The Voices Behind the Voice
- The Corpse Bride Pre-Production Galleries
- Isolated Music Score Track
- Theatrical Trailer
Curiously, the steelbook does not appear to have a firm release date. It's currently listed on Amazon as releasing on June 27, 2025, though the "estimated shipping date" isn't until December. Thankfully, Amazon's preorder price guarantee means if you buy now, you'll pay the lowest price the steelbook hits between now and when it's finally time to ship.
The steelbook follows up on The Nightmare Before Christmas 4K steelbook which released back in 2023, but, as someone in your life may have aggressively made clear to you at one point or another, Nightmare was actually directed by Henry Sellick. I'd still like to think these two would make a great combo on your shelf.
