Tim Burton is an American film director, screenwriter and producer.
He did not finish high school, but he studied animation at the California Institute of the Arts. He started his career as an animator at Walt Disney studio. The first feature film directed by him was a "Beetle juice".
To learn more about this less-known side of an artist I recommend this publication available at the MoMA store.
This book tells the story of the evolution of Burton's work. It contains drawings of the early years of childhood and his mature work.
Moreover, in the shop are other related Burton fun accessories related to the exhibition of his work at MoMA.
