Tim Burton is one of the most inventive filmmakers in the world.
From his early work as an animator for Disney studios to his
distinctive takes on iconic characters like Batman and Alice in
Wonderland, Burton's skewed vision of the world has informed all of
his films. Imbuing his films with a comically dark tone, Burton
provides a twisted slant on conventional storytelling. In The Tim
Burton Encyclopedia, Samuel J. Umland looks at all aspects of this
idiosyncratic storyteller's films, which frequently display
childlike wonder and a macabre humor. Entries in this volume focus
on Burton's artistic inspirations as well as creative personnel
behind the camera, including writers, cinematographers, costume
designers, art directors, and other collaborators, notably his
frequent composer Danny Elfman. Recurring actors are also
represented, such as Michael Keaton, Helena Bonham-Carter, Jack
Nicholson, and, of course, Johnny Depp. Film entries include all of
his features such as Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Edward
Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Big Fish, and Dark Shadows. Each entry is
followed by a bibliography of published sources, both in print and
online. Featuring entries focused on every stage of Burton's
career-including early animated shorts like Frankenweenie and his
work as a producer-this volume provides indispensable information
about one of the most distinctive filmmakers of the past three
decades. Comprehensive and entertaining, The Tim Burton
Encyclopedia will appeal to scholars, researchers, and fans of this
singular director's work.
