From breathtaking
stop-action animation to bitter sweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker
Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance - witty
and macabre at once. He is the creative genius behind BATMAN,
BEETLEJUICE, ED WOOD, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, MARS ATTACKS!, PEEWEE'S
BIG ADVENTURE, and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, among others. He
began his career at Disney, where his first project was a six -
minute tribute to Vincent Price. His second film, the
twenty-seven-minute FRANKENWEENIE, was deemed unsuitable for children
and never released in theaters. He lives in New York and Los
Angeles.
