Tim Burton

Tim Burton was born in 1958 in Burbank, the city where the Disney studios are based. A solitary child, he drew and won a town competition with a poster that was reproduced on garbage trucks; he watched horror films on television and made amateur films on eight-millimetre. A scholarship took him after high school to a Californian art institute, from which he joined Disney's animation department, for which he made two short films before moving on to feature films. He keeps the same collaborators from one film to the next.
