Burton VS Disney

Tim Burton's style is different to Disney's original style in one major way: Burton uses dark and bright colours to compliment each other, where as Disney used to only used light, bright colours and Burton can make what could seem to be scary films into films that wouldn't be as scary.

When Disney wanted to create a dark figure they would make them seem as dark and evil as possible where Burton would somehow create something dark and evil into something rather colourful, which can be seen in "Corpse Bride" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Where as in Disney of they wanted something to seem dark they would pull out all the strings to make it look and feel as dark as possible for the audience. This is a classic style for both Burton and Disney.

Burton did pick up on some useful tips which make it seem as though there are some similarities between Burton and Disney: when creating an animation they would make the character's and set's seem simple but detailed. This makes it easier for the Artist to create all the necessary drawings they need with out making the film looking boring or uninteresting and without making the Artist jobs hell.

Burton and Disney must have had the same kind of imagination as both of them wanted to create a classic book "Alice in Wonderland" almost 60 years apart. Even though Tim Burton may not have enjoyed the work he did with Disney, I rather doubt that he didn't appreciate it and he still chooses to co-inside with Walt Disney Productions with some of his films , including one of my favourites, "The Nightmare Before Christmas". 

Tim Burton Introduction

Tim Burton was born on the 25th of August 1958 in California. Burton had always enjoyed Art in School and then went on to study animation at California Institute of the Arts. Burton said that he got "incredibly lucky" and received a fellowship working at Disney as an animator. However during the production of the Fox and the Hound, Burton realised that his future was not in Disney, as his creative dream did not fit into Disney. He then decided to pursue his own personal projects. Burton's first big motion picture was "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure". This film showed the world what type of Director he is and his unique creative style, which then lead to other movies which demonstrates his artistic style. His unique style has been made into a phrase, which shows that his style has influenced Hollywood-"Burton-esque".
