Description: Tim Burton is one of the great modern-day visionaries of cinema, a director who has fabricated his own deliciously nightmarish universe in movies as extraordinary as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks! and The Nightmare before Christmas - not to mention his twisted takes on the tales of Batman, Sleepy Hollow and Planet of the Apes. Following the release of his re-imagining of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with long-time comrade Johnny Depp (who also provides a new Foreword here), as well as Burton's return to feature-length animation with Corpse Bride, this updated and fully illustrated new edition of the definitive Burton interview book casts light on Burton's Burbank childhood, his early work at Disney, the recurrent themes and stunning designs of his movies, and the creative obsessions that fuel them.

Review: I am very pleased with my purchase of Burton on Burton first published in 1995. I particularly like the way that Burton's own voice is fed through Michael Salisbury's narrative as this gives a deep insight into Burton's character and genius. Understanding Burton's childhood experiences leads to a better appreciation of his work. For example, Burton writes: 'My movies just sort of ended up being representative of the way I am'. The book is beautifully illustrated with copies of Burton's original sketches as well as stills from films and photographs of stars like Vincent Price and Johnny Depp. Having read the book, I want to see more of Burton's work. My impression of Burton is that of a warm-hearted eccentric with original ideas. I look forward to seeing a sequel to this book bringing his story up to date.
