Tim Burton grew up under the Californian sun of the 60s, an introverted child who very early took refuge in cinemas to revel in the fantastic films of Hammer (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy).
Very gifted for drawing, he began to make small animated films and integrated the California Institute of Arts in 1976. His graduation film “The Attack of the Monstrous Celery” allowed him to be noticed, and attracted the attention of Disney studios, which hired him immediately.
He then worked on films like Taram and the Magic Cauldron or Rox and Rouky, while at the same time developing his own projects. But the differences with society, which considers his work too dark, are getting bigger and bigger, and Tim Burton decides to put an end to the Disney adventure.
In 1985, he made his first feature film Pee-Wee Big Adventure with comedian Paul Reubens in the title role. The critical and public success is mixed, but this first film will mark the meeting with the composer Dany Elfman, the beginning of a long and rich collaboration, with the one who will be able to set the director’s poetic universe to music for almost all of the films. coming.
In 1988, Tim Burton benefits from a substantial budget for his next film Beetlejuice, the success of which will lead him to receive the proposal from Warner Studios to make an adaptation of the Batman hero. The director’s career was then well and truly launched, and the 90s would be that of consecration, marked by a prolific collaboration with actor Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow), whom he will subsequently find for five other films.
