Synopsis
Tim Burton: A Child's Garden of Nightmares is a definitive guide to a successful cinematic career based on a love of American pop-gothic imagery.

It examines Burton's "monster culture" influences -- from the films of Ed Wood, Jr. to Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine -- that imbue his films with rich visual imagery and emotional depth. For each film, the book provides a detailed analysis, articles and interviews, and a vivid selection of stills., Tim Burton, the cinematic genius behind many American gothic film classics, revises the imagery of horror movies, TV sci-fi and cartoons, and imbues juvenile fantasy with emotional depth. Tim Burton: A Child s Garden of Nightmares charts the filmmaker s path from malcontent animator at Walt Disney to directing feature films with a fantasy aesthetic. Tim Burton is the definitive guide to a cinematic career based on a love of pop-gothic imagery. Part of the Ultrascreen series., This definitive study charts the career of Tim Burton from his days as a malcontent animator at Walt Disney Productions to his current place as one of America's most remarkable directors. It examines Burton's "monster culture" influences -- from the films of Ed Wood, Jr. to " Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine -- that imbue his films with rich visual imagery and emotional depth. For each film, the book provides a detailed analysis, articles and interviews, and a vivid selection of stills., Tim Burton, the cinematic genius behind many American gothic film classics, has the heart of a child. Revising the imagery of horror movies, TV sci-fi and cartoons, Burton imbues juvenile fantasy with emotional depth. This is a guide to his cinematic career based on a love of pop-gothic imagery., Tim Burton's "A Child's Garden of Nightmares" charts the filmmaker's path from malcontent animator at Walt Disney Productions (creating the 'scary movies for little kids', "Vincent and Frankenweenie") to directing feature films with a fantasy aesthetic and a natural sympathy for the alienated outsider ("Ed Wood", "Edward Scissorhands", "Batman", the "Deformed Penguin"). The book also acknowledges, both textually and visually, some of the 'monster culture' influences that inform his films: "Famous Monsters" of Filmland magazine, the films of Ed D. Wood, Jr. (the infamous 'worst filmmaker ever'), and the trading cards that inspired his "Mars Attacks"! This popular cult title is now updated and revised to include Burton's latest three films - "Big Fish", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Corpse Bride" - and to preview 2008's upcoming "Sweeney Todd".
