Tim Burtons Life; Part One:

 

Tim Burton’s actual name is Timothy William Burton. Burton was born August 25, 1958 in Burbank, California. Tim Burton was not very good with school or people for that matter. Tim was more interested in arts things such as painting, movies, and drawing. Burton as a child loved monster movies. A hero he had at a young age was Vincent Price the actor. After Tim graduated from high school in 1976 he started to go to college at California Institute of the Arts. Disney found Mr. Burton here in 1979 and he joined the Disney animation ranks. Burton’s style wasn’t much of what Disney was all about so Disney sent him off to work on his own personal projects. He created three animated shorts that became huge hits with Disney audiences.  One of which was The Nightmare Before Christmas. He also came up with Vincent and Frankenweenie within this time. Burton had stopped making movies for almost three years. In 1989 he married a German artist named Lena Gieseke. This was while he was in the middle of making the hit movie Batman. After the making of Batman returns the two separated. He then began to date Lisa Marie. She showed up as an actress in four of Burton’s movies. Burton’s parents both passed away in short periods from each other and Burton and Lisa Marie split up. After the filming of Planet of The Apes Burton began to date actress Helena Bonham Carter. Carter had appeared in his film of planet of The Apes.  "Tim Burton Collective"
