Since his early days at Disney; Tim Burton has shown a unique talent and vision. His writing and directing credits range from big-budget features such as Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992); to the comically grisly The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) and Corpse Bride (2005); to the twisted fairy tale Edward Scissorhands (1990); to literary adaptations like Big Fish (2003); Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and Sweeney Todd (2007). Though his name has become synonymous with the macabre and the odd; Burtonrsquo;s films often reveal and champion the flawed human in us all. This collection of new essays brings together scholarship on many of his popular films; adaptations; and innovations in stop-motion animation and his collaborative relationship with actor Johnny Depp; providing an in-depth exploration of one of the most prominent figures on the pop culture landscape in recent decades.
