Quirky Mastermind


::Tim Burton::

When it comes to dark humor and twisted movies you usually think of no other than Tim Burton himself. His movies are the kind that you see once and never forget. There's just something about this man that strikes me as pure genius. Although his movies are a bit crazy there is always a good message in them that you can pick out if you watch closely.





Beetlejuice

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Edward Scissorhands

These are all titles I'm sure we all associate Tim Burton with but did you know that before that he was an animator with Disney? That's right before going on to direct and produce the popular titles we know him by he was just a fellow animator at Disney studios that worked on title such as THE FOX AND THE HOUND as well as the short FRANKENWEENIE. Getting his big break to direct Paul Reuban's (Pee Wee Herman) feature debut PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, it was the jump start to a very successful but zany career in the film industry. Many people try to imitate Tim Burton's style but it only comes off as second rate. There is no mistake that his work is unique and memorable. I have to thank him for producing what is to date one of my favorite movies SLEEPY HOLLOW!
