Batman, Beetlejuice, and Edward Scissorhand are among many of his amazing movies from the 1990’s until his latest creation in 2010 called Alice in Wonderland. The credit to this great work goes to the director screen-writer, animator, and wonderful producer named Tim Burton. (Burton, Tim Bio). He was born in 1959 in Burbank CA. He married Lena Gieseke in 1981 and then in 1991 was divorced. He began his career as an animator at the Disney studios, after he graduated from high school. His movies are a big hit due to his talents, hard-work, and creativity. Tim Burton is an imaginative film producer, his movies entertain people, and he is considered a genuine genius artist. He inspires me to write about his life and how he became a film producer.

Tim Burton is an amazing artist because of his creativity in films, movies, and stories. Tim Burton’s amazing style to express the dark side in his films, movies, and stories has given him awards starting at an early age: “After graduating from high school in Burbank, he earned a college scholarship from the Walt Disney Studios with which he was able to study drawing at the California Institute of Art,”(T.B. Bio.). He was recognized by many animations as a talented and successful artist. The movies that he created were a premier success every time they were released. Burton prepared himself to stay true to his art and visions by creating his own production company: “In preparation, he became president of his productions, a company that plans to make animated films, among other projects. He had also continued his art work. A volume of his drawings was due for release in 1993,” (T.B. Bio.). When Tim Burton became president of his productions, he had great ideas and plans for his future films. Frequently, he gave the movie industry a great deal of contributions. Tim Burton’s amazing art was always a” work in progress”.

Tim Burton produced ground breaking films in his career. He had to face some difficulties when he made the film Edward Sissorshand. “Based upon the profits his first three films made -Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, and Batman-, he became a strong asset at Warner Bros. Still he couldn’t convince the executives to produce his next film. Frustrated, he enlisted at 20th Century-Fox to film Edward Sissorshand from a script that he had written himself,” (T.B. Bio.). Sometimes frustration made him switch studios, but he always became a great benefit for the studios that he worked. He was hired at Disney to do a remake about many films that he produced with others. “He couldn’t adopt the Disney style very well, like he said in the Washington Post… Rather than firing their young protégé, the Disney executives decided to allow Burton some creative leeway. They were kind of nervous about it all the time. It was like, ‘Let’s just close the closet door and don’t let them out. None said a word,” (newsmaker). Even though sometimes he wasn’t popular, the studio recognized his talent and still gave him prime work. As usual his great talent always made him a winner. That is why his movies were great and his productions successful. He always kept his employers happy and thriving.

Tim Burton’s great entertaining ability provided many rewards and money to the artist. The amazing creativity of Tim Burton gave birth to many blockbuster motion pictures. His unique styles created a bundle of great productions: “With several blockbuster hit movies to his credit during the 1980’s-1990, Tim Burton the director of Batman and creator of The Nightmare Before Christmas emerged as a leading filmmaker whose pictures exude a macabre creativity unique in the industry,” (T.B. Bio.). Because of his great performance he received many awards and money; he always praised his achievements with his family and his working team. He made movies to entertain people that were very successful and left him with his big nice profits. “Beetlejuice shot for a mere $13 million, and this movie was one of the major box office hits in 1988 grossing in excess of $75 million and has remained a favorite home video. Nevertheless, he had his share of nerve-wrenching battles with Warner executives.” When a movie was a major box office hit, he was always a humble person that made people happy. Because of his nerve-wrenching battles with Warner executives, sometimes they wanted him to change his great movies. But in the end he always got his way. Because of his hard work and his great talents Tim Burton was one of the best and profitable filmmakers of our era.
