Not only is Tim Burton the director of over 15 movies (if you count his early movies from 1971-1986, such as Vincent and Frankenweenie) but is the husband of our fantastic Helena Bonham Carter.
He was born in Burbanks, California on August 25th, 1958 as Timothy William Burton. At thirteen he created his earliest known movie, The Island Of Doctor Agor.Then, after losing his scholarship to California Arts Institute he filmed Stalk of the Celery Monster. After making Vincent and Frankenweenie Disney had had enough, saying that is movies were inappropropriate and frightening for young viewers. But in spite of that he went on to make Peewee's Big Adventure.
In 1990, Tim met Johnny Depp and together brought us Edward Scissorhands followed by Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd.
Other movies by Tim Burton are the Nightmare Before Christmas, Planet of The Apes, Mars Attacks, Big Fish, Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice, and possibly one titled Belive It or Not, the story of Robert Ripley possible with Jim Carrey as the title role but the way things are going it looks like this movie may end up being a simple story waiting in Tim Burton's dark, twisted, but wonderful mind ,begging to be told.
