Since we are about to embark on a Burton odyssey this year in Film Club, I looked up just a little background on Mr. Burton to prepare myself. Whoa!
Tim Burton worked at Disney for a while in the 1980's. As you you imagine, he was NOT a good fit for Disney, which I guess has become a great thing for his fans. Here is a short video he made during the Disney days. You can already see his unique vision and perspective on life. And now we know he was just as mesmerized by Vincent Price as Michael Jackson was (remember the Thriller video).
