of the movies or

characters?

After making a series of short films, including the horror-movie homage

Frankenweenie (1984), Burton directed his first feature film, Pee-Wee’s Big

Adventure, in 1985. A box-office success, the family movie centred on a man-

child (played by Paul Reubens) looking for his stolen bicycle. With the dark

comedy Beetlejuice (1988), Burton established himself as an unconventional

filmmaker. He turned to more mainstream fare with the big-budget Batman

(1989) and its sequel Batman Returns (1992). Both films were major hits.

Burton was also responsible for the concept and general design of the stop-

motion animation film The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), which was

directed by Henry Selick.

After studying at the California Institute of the

Arts (CalArts), Tim Burton worked as an

animator at the Walt Disney Studios before

breaking out on his own. Taking inspiration

from popular culture, fairy tales, and gothic

traditions, Burton has reinvented Hollywood

genre filmmaking as an expression of a

personal vision.
