| | Tim Burton |
 | | Born in Burbank, California, Burton is, quite literally, a child of Hollywoodalbeit a child who was considered by those around him, and by himself, a misfit who spent his days feeding on a steady diet of horror and science fiction. |
 | | Burton is one such filmmaker, a director who has earned the status of auteur, although he is not viewed in the same category as, say, Martin Scorsese. |
 | | Love him or loath him, Burton is a director who has made an impactboth in the industry and on the cinema-goersand whose films, so special in their childlike reverie and cathartic blend of horror and fl humour, warrant his inclusion amongst the great visual filmmakers of past and present. |
