- The academic background of the story comes from Eastern Europe. The radical anti-Semitic people at the time usually started in the Jewish marriage team and killed the only bride who could succeed Judaism. Many brides were buried on the roadside wearing gowns and died unknown. Not white.
- The puppets in the film are made of a stainless steel frame covered with silicone resin.
- The film is dedicated to the animator Joe Ranft who died in a car accident.
- Some small elements in the film, such as the beating flames, were shot with a mini DV camera.
- The puppet is 2 feet tall, and the animator can even shrink his head through the door of some scenes.
- The puppet experts installed a mechanical transmission device in the head of the puppet, which can be controlled by the ears and the mechanism hidden in the hair to produce the effect of changing expressions. The veil and flower crown worn by the zombie bride alone took 10 months to complete.
- In "Zombie Bride", the color of the film is mainly cool gray and bright warm colors. But the film uses cool gray in the world of the living, but uses a lot of colors in the world of the dead.
- The use of music in the film is the same as the use of colors in the film. In the real world, there is very little music in the film, or it is low, or even a little weird. When it reaches the ground, there is more passionate and unrestrained music. The most tender song in the movie is also from the mouth of that lovely zombie bride.
- The director abandoned the now-popular computer animation technology used in films such as "Shrek" and "Toy Story", instead returning to the original complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive doll placement "freeze-move" technology. This film took Tim Burton a full ten years of production time before it hit the big screen.
