Tim Burton, a child's garden of nightmares

Drawing inspiration from our childhood and what we admired is what most film makers starting place. Disney instructed their illustrators to do this too and Burton was unable to draw 'cute foxes'. The underlying problem was his childhood was quite different, growing up to love monster and gouls. It was not a typical 'normal' experience that Disney expected.

Tim Burton shines the best as one of today's best film makers, because he is himself. Expressing his childhood experience, creating imaginative and dark film genres. A far cry from Disney's perfect bubble wrap of storylines. Burton gives us a reality and rawness that we appauld him for. To be different.
