A Tribute to Tim Burton: Champion of the Outsiders

“I am not a dark person, and I don’t consider myself dark,” once said Tim Burton.

Unluckily for him, this is not the legacy he leaves behind – and a far cry from the work that the general public associates with him. Known for films such as ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, ‘Sleepy Hollow’, ‘Big Fish’ and more, Burton has established himself as a director privy to whimsical, fantastical worlds, with a macabre edge.

Humble Beginnings

In 1980, Tim Burton began working at Walt Disney Studios as an apprentice animator after graduating from the esteemed CalArts. Ultimately, he left due to creative differences and clashing artistic sensibilities – which makes perfect sense if you’re familiar with his work. In essence, his work was too dark, too macabre for the family-friendly brand. In the book Tim Burton (Cahiers Du Cinéma), it even mentions how Burton was often found hiding in closets or working under his desk at Disney. He was antisocial and hard to connect with – even at the young age of twenty-two. Surprisingly, Burton would eventually return back to Disney to direct films such as ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Dumbo.’
