My Review:
Tim Burton's movies are quite recognizable. Featuring gothic and spooky vibes and undertones, each movie is brilliantly written and superbly cast. There is no mistaking the films that are Tim Burton's handiwork.
I love many of his creations including Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, James and the Giant Peach (my favorite book as a kid), and my absolute favorite Tim Burton movies: Beetlejuice and Sleepy Hollow. These movies, plus others are recounted in this book. I can't wait to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!
Included on the pages are pictures, behind-the-scenes views, and wonderful depictions of Tim's work.
This book explores Tim Burton from childhood through the present, giving readers a glimpse of what makes him tick. This is an amazing tribute to an even more amazing film director. This would be a wonderful gift and coffee table book for those who adore Tim Burton.
I was provided a copy of this book.
