	Tim Burton's 'Vincent'--A Matter of Pastiche
		Burton was 24 when he made Vincent, so mirroring other texts may have freed him from serious consideration of his own style while focusing his directorial efforts on other matters.
		Burton continues his spoof of B horror films by staging the boy's "tragedy" in a series of grandiose, melodramatic gestures underscored by frightful organ music.
		Burton again toys with the film's spatial and temporal continuity using a simple light cue to transform Vincent's nighttime "graveyard" to daytime "flower bed," while the boy maintains the continuous action of digging.

	AMCTV.com BIOGRAPHY - Tim Burton (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Burton's unique slant on the classics did not really fly at Disney, and his short film Frankenweenie (1984) was quickly shelved (the film would only secure a general theatrical release after Burton's rise to fame on the strength of his later features).
		Burton was able to infuse the film with his own brand of stylized reality, and the movie was one of the year's biggest box-office hits.
		Burton was tailor-made for the assignment; his dark and gothic vision helped bring Gotham City to life like never before, and helped mold the Dark Knight into a colder and more serious servant of justice than had previously appeared on-screen.

	about tim burton, film directors, movie directors
		The emphasis on "mainstream" is notable: Burton's career has been distinguished in part by the director's skillful ability to remain just inside the realm of the mainstream while producing work of a decidedly unconventional vision.
		Burton wisely treated the whole project like a live-action Looney Tune, and the film, originally intended for limited release as a kid's picture, became one of Warner Bros.' biggest hits of the early '80s.
		Burton well understood how it feels to be unappreciated for one's enthusiasms, and Ed Wood, deliberately filmed to emulate Wood's seedy visual style, has emerged as one of the most affectionate film biographies ever made.

	Tim Burton
		Burton's shorts weren't released until after his later successes, but Paul Reubens came across them, and he was impressed.

	My Favorite Directors: Tim Burton (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Burton: the afore-mentioned gothic oddball with a heart, the bizarre made mundane (Lydia coaching the Maitlands in haunting) and the mundane made bizarre (anything to do with the Deitz's.) I especially loved the concept that suicides are civil servants in the afterlife.
		Ed Wood is Tim Burton's telling of the outrageous (and somewhat tragic) life and career of the director of such film classics as "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Glen or Glenda".

	Tim Burton
		Born in Burbank, California, Burton is, quite literally, a child of Hollywood—albeit 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.
		The name 'Tim Burton' comes to stand for stylised films about outsiders with a recognizable gothic design, just like the name 'Woody Allen' has come to stand for angst-ridden urban comedies with a mousy intellectual who is instantly and totally identified with the director as main character.
		Love him or loath him, Burton is a director who has made an impact—both in the industry and on the cinema-goers—and 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.

	Dan's Definitive Tim Burton Page
		Burton himself says he ended up having little true involvement with the production, in part because of the studio's meddling and the sheer size of a calculated blockbuster like this one.
		After Batman, Burton was free to take on more or less any project he was interested in, though Warners did of course prefer to see him starting on a sequel as soon as possible.
		Burton was still vaguely involved as executive producer, while Joel Schumacher gave Batman Forever a flashier, more colorful atmosphere that was a little closed to the Superman movies, but which felt to many like watching MTV for two hours without volumje control.

	Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005): Reviews
		Ghoulishness and innocence walk hand-in-hand in Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, a movie that digs into Hollywood's past to resurrect the antique art of stop-motion animation and create a fabulous bauble of a movie.
		Burton's love for bones and rot here, if only because it suggests, despite some recent evidence, that he is not yet ready to abandon his own dark kingdom.
		Yes, Corpse Bride had the same demi-goth elements that have made Tim Burton who he is today, and Danny Elfman didn't do a completely shoddy job with the music, but it's no longer a first.

	Tim Burton at Hollywood.com
		Burton rebounded with "Sleepy Hollow" (1999), a loosely based adaptation of Washington Irving's famous story, starring Depp â“ who was fast becoming Burtonâs onscreen male muse â“ as discredited professor Ichabod Crane, whoâs exiled to Sleepy Hollow where he confronts the local myth of the headless horseman.
		While "Sleepy Hollow" successfully grafted Burton's unique sensibilities onto a well-known tale, he was far less successful with the next established property he tackled, an overdone, over-the-top remake of "Planet of the Apes" (2001) that failed to capitalize on either the principal appeal of the source material or Burton's established cinematic style.
		Burton again teamed with Johnny Depp, who played the titular character, an embittered ex-convict wrongly imprisoned by a lecherous judge who returns to his hometown to open a barber shop where he cuts the hair â“ among other things â“ of those who wronged him â“ and are never heard from again.
