“Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.” – Tim Burton
“Everyone has a story.” -Neil LaBute
“Directing her was like directing Lassie. You need 14 takes to get each one of them right.”- Otto Preminger
If you are a Tim Burton, as me, then you know how creative Tim Burton is with his stories. The movies he has directed or produced so far are: Big Fish, Batman Begins, Alice in Wonderland, Mars Attack, Sweeny Todd, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetle Juice, Sleepy Hollow, Batman: The Dark Night, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Planet of the Apes, and these are just some that were a major production. Tim Burton started after high school in 1976, Burton went to California Institute of the Arts. His school was founded by Disney looking for new animators. Burton entered the Disney animation program in his second year, thinking he can start a career with this. In 1979, he was drafted to join the Disney animation ranks.
When Burton got drafted by Disney he worked on The Fox and the Hound, but he thought it was not a joyful production to do.
Frankenweenie was his first film that he could put his real opinions in. It was only released theatrically overseas, and had limited availability on VHS. However, it would be the film that landed him his first feature directing job.
While he was filming Planet of the Apes, both of his parents died within a short space of time, I guess his parents could not bare being apart from each other. And his relationship with Lisa Marie ended after 4 years. But if they did not break up then he would have never laid his eyes on Helena Bonham Carter, who became one of his top picks of being the main actress in. While Johnny Depp is the main actor, on his list. Helena had a baby named Billy in October, 2003. He still making films fortunantly, but he is trying to spend more time with his family.
