Tim Burton making a movie of Lewis Carroll’s iconic children's novel seemed like the perfect combination of director and source material. Surely the mixture of melancholy, nonsense and surreal would prove a rich breeding ground for the man who made his name as arguably the most visually idiosyncratic auteur of the blockbuster age? The end result, h...
It’s easy to forget just how big a deal it was when it was announced that Tim Burton would be remaking the sci-fi classic Planet of the Apes. To be more accurate, Burton called the film his "re-imagining" of the original Planet of the Apes, and that term became a punchline for many a failed remake in the following years. With a $100 million budget ...
After a couple of years of disappointing movie critics, many thought that Big Eyes would be a return to form for Tim Burton, a new Ed Wood of sorts to show how adept he is at more conventional biographical dramas while remaining faithful to his roots. Alas, the end result was far less satisfying than that, and it did little to reverse growing criti...
The 1960s series Dark Shadowswas ground-breaking in its day, a gothic soap opera at a time when the genre was mostly focused on realist domestic drama. It's not hard to see why Tim Burton of all people would be so drawn to it as a child, and Johnny Depp also cited the big screen adaptation as a dream project. The story of a vampire who awakens in t...
Based on the series of popular young adult novels by Ransom Riggs, it's not hard to see why Tim Burton would be drawn to a story about strange kids with superpowers who live in a gothic mansion with a mysterious woman who can turn into a falcon. The great hook of the books was the use of vintage photographs collected by the author, giving the story...
Grading any sort of live-action remake of a Disney classic can prove tricky since the formula dictates a level of specificity and brand synergy that most run-of-the-mill remakes don't. When Tim Burton made Alice in Wonderland, that formula had not been perfected, so he got to deviate from the source material more than he probably would have only a ...
As noted on every movie trivia website, Tim Burton didn’t actually direct the animated film most closely associated with him, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Despite his name being all over the posters and the visuals being so recognizably Burtonesque, the work of direction fell to stop-motion animation legend Henry Selick. Audiences wouldn’t actua...
Tim Burton's career began at Disney, where he worked as an animator and concept artist on films like The Fox and the Hound and The Black Cauldron, but while there he also dabbled in his own short films. Frankenweenie, one of his first live-action productions, was a short film about a boy who brings his dog back to life after he's hit by a car. The ...
Author Roald Dahl famously hated the first adaptation of his book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He disliked the changes made to deviate from the novel and opposed the decision to focus on Willy Wonka over Charlie Bucket (he also didn’t care for the casting of Gene Wilder, preferring British comedian Spike Milligan for the role). When it came ...
Paul Reubens' Pee-wee Hermanhas remained a beloved character for kids and adults alike since his TV debut in 1981. The frantic entertainer, both terminally delightful and completely bonkers, made the leap to the big screen in 1985, and a post-Disney Tim Burton was looking for a new gig. Reubens, who was a fan of his Disney shorts, hired Burton and ...
