“From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance -- witty and macabre at once. Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway)."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tim Burton is the creative genius behind Batman, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and The Nightmare Before Christmas, among others. He began his career at Disney, where his first project was a six-minute tribute to Vincent Price. His second film, the 27 minute Frankenweenie, was deemed unsuitable for children and never released in theaters. He lives in New York and Los Angeles."
