    One of the very evident Burton trademarks in all of his movies, animated or live-action, is his very recognizable 'Burtonesque' aesthetic. The settings, the story, and the majority of his characters are all distinctly gothic or grotesque (sometimes both) in appearance. Edward is a textbook example of the classic Burton protagonist. His pale face an...

    Naturally, Burton is an artist through and through, and thus, a number of his protagonists are creative in some way.

Edward is a very strong example of a character that is both an outcast ...

    Burton's movies, more often than not, feature key characters with troubled childhood memories in the form of flashbacks, and a kindly parental figure.

The signature Burton moment of...

He is a humanoid created by an eccentric inventor, with stitches all over his suit (another Burton characterist...

    Although a reimagining of Frankenstein's monster, Edward is one of Burton's original characters created from scratch. Burton has reimagined a number of existing stories over the years, particularly in recent years, as well as two biopics based on Ed Woodand Margaret Keane. As a result, a number of his characters, although bearing the Burtonesque st...

    The idea for Edward initially came from a drawing Burton did in high school. This character, and ultimately the movie as a whole, is a reflection of how Burton felt growing up - a quiet, artistic misfit in a "normal" suburban neighborhood whom he felt were judging his every move. In an interview with David Breskin, Burton said the scissor hands fur...
