Burton has come a long way from starting out as an animator to becoming a director. After he had helped produced his first film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, he started working on other future projects. After The Nightmare Before Christmas had been released in 1993, Burton started designing his new animation, Corpse Bride.

This film was released twelve years, in 2005, after The Nightmare Before Christmas and the leading protagonist was voiced by Johnny Depp. Shortly after the creation of Corpse Bride, both of Burton’s new films ParaNorman and Frankenweenie were released in 2012.

ParaNorman was released in August, but Frankenweenie had not been released until September. Originally, like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Burton’s film Frankenweenie, was an earlier project that he had been working on when he still worked for Disney.

According to the cast in the special features from Frankenweenie, Burton based this animation off his childhood experience of his undying love for his dog that had died many years ago and Burton wanted to honor his memory.

Furthermore, according to the authors Odell and Le Blanc from their book Tim Burton, Burton’s “heritage as a filmmaker differs from that of his peers, because his output descends from phantasmagorical tales so beloved of pre-cinema magic lantern shows.”

The theory that these authors have is Burton’s animated films are amazing, or charming, from an aftereffect of Burton, always communicating or hitting, the essential feelings of individuals.

Burton is a man who admires the exquisite darkness and depth about life because there can be no good without evil. There can be no negativity without positivity. Burton uses all of these elements to provide the audience with a strong visual perspective of society as a whole.

All four of these animated films, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, ParaNorman, and Frankenweenie have many similarities even if all the storylines are different. Burton’s films feature townspeople who misunderstand, or distrust, the leading protagonist.

Be that as it may, Burton’s characters are still filled with this strong power of hope, no matter how negative and dark their surroundings may appear.

In conclusion, from personal observations, Burton believes that no one should think they are unworthy or that they should settle for less. He or she should expand their thoughts and creativity.

There may be some difficult challenges along the way, but in the end, there will always be a positive outcome. Sorrowful ideas will instantly become pleasant ones instead.
