Whether you love or hate Valentine's Day, you'll find something to enjoy in our screening of this 2005 animated tale (PG, 77 min.). 

In an unnamed Victorian town, Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot prepare for their arranged marriage. Though they like each other, Victor is nervous about the ceremony. While in a forest, he successfully rehearses his vows with a tree and places his wedding ring on what appears to be an upturned root. However, the "root" is revealed to be the skeletal finger of a deceased woman named Emily, who, gowned in a wedding dress, rises from the grave and proclaims herself as Victor's new wife. She spirits themselves away to the Land of the Dead. Victor must get back aboveground before Victoria, thinking Victor has died, marries the villainous Barkis Bittern.
