Animator, writer, producer & director, Tim Burton is one of hollywoods biggest talents. Born in California 1958, Tim was alway interested in film as a little boy, and was fond of monster movies.
But it was during 1974 that Tim would choose animation as a career and began to attend The California Institute of The Arts. By 1979 Burton was working for Walt Disney on a project called "The Fox & The Hound"
After discovering Burtons dark & unusual style of drawing, Disney gave Burton a chance to produce his own animation "Vincent" a personal tribute the the late Vincent Price, one of his childhood heroes.
After scoring a hit with his first movie "Pee Wee's big Adventure" Burton went on to direct Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Planet of The Apes, Beetle Juice, only to be called upon again for Batman Returns.
Burton clearly has a taste for horror & goth, but you can also see a child-like thread in all of his work wether as an animator or director. Just to name a few: Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, The Night Before Christmas & Sleepy Hollow.
