Timothy William Burton was born on August 25, 1958 in Burbank, CA and according to all his biographies was one of the last people who would become a well known face in the movie industry. Growing up, Tim was very quiet, introverted, and didn't really stand out in the world around him, but all that was about to change after high school. Tim decided to attend the California Institute of the Arts and in his second year after being given a fellowship by Disney, Tim joined the Disney Animation team. Once he graduated he instantly went to work for Disney and his first project was none other than Disney's The Fox and the Hound. Tim Burton quickly realized animation was not what he wanted to do so Disney decided to give him free reign (sort of) to think of his own ideas and to make him a character designer for the movie The Black Cauldron. Even still Tim, didn't really like the animation and so be began coming up with his own ideas...ideas such as Vincent and Frankenweenie. After those two animated films, Tim eventually gave up the animation phase of his career except for The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride and started his real career being a director in great films that I'm sure everyone has seen at least once in their life; the same films I will be discussing in the next blogs.
