Burton probably does that because the adults would take vincent out of his imaginary world, where as here he can get right back t his macabre day dreams. <BR/><BR/>And yeah, Burton has always freaked me out with his particular style. I still can't watch a Nightmare Before Christmas. too creepy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-66506193463159772602008-12-13T16:39:00.000-05:002008-12-13T16:39:00.000-05:00I've often been a little bit put off by Tim Burton...I've often been a little bit put off by Tim Burton's style, that is to say, his mixture of the innocent with the macabre and his jagged cartoonish animation. Nonetheless, one can always look at a Burton film and see these trademarks. One thing about Vincent struck me particularly: the Charlie Brown-ish omission of adults. Although their legs are seen, the aunt and mother don't have faces or characters as Vincent does. Something to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-10769594548349421752008-12-12T17:49:00.000-05:002008-12-12T17:49:00.000-05:00I can see how people would feel that his animated ...I can see how people would feel that his animated things are all the same, but he also directed Big Fish, Sweeny Todd, Charlie and The CHocolate Factory, and a lot more. all of these are pretty diverse. sure they are all just a bit creepy, but Big Fish I think is the most different of all of them. That film is just a quaint love story, where the others are more dark and sinister.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-78764183467237554972008-12-12T17:33:00.000-05:002008-12-12T17:33:00.000-05:00Wow, Vincent Price and Tim Burton together.

His work is always amazing. I am always enthralled by his movies. Many hollywood particpants only have one style and most of it is crap. I think it is amazing to have someone who can constantly make good movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-6637595195744321162008-12-12T16:48:00.000-05:002008-12-12T16:48:00.000-05:00I don't know.

If you have seen one then you have seen the rest.

I've seen most of his features, and I have to say I've been pretty disappointed with his apparently complete lack of creativity in recent years, as he seems to be going through all the motions again of the first part of his career.Lance McCallionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144619599830725007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389910.post-21228509574227896882008-09-14T13:19:00.000-04:002008-09-14T13:19:00.000-04:00I saw Vincent years ago when I was first looking i...I saw <I>Vincent</I> years ago when I was first looking into Tim Burton's body of work, and it's always held a special place in my heart. It's too bad that his most recent stop-motion film, <I>The Corpse Bride</I>, was generally regarded as a disappointment, because I love the medium as a whole.Ashley Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801686016398420860noreply@blogger.com
