Although the typical layman would immediately label him an oddball, those who are a little bit more familiar with Tim Burton would say that he's a beautiful mess. Burton was born August 25, 1958 in Burbank, California. He lived in typical suburbia, along with his brother and parents, although he never felt very attached to them. He felt much closer to the films of Vincent Price and the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. While his parents wanted him to go play outside and be "normal," he would rather soak into a 1950's horror movie, or just withdraw into his own mind, into his own world. When asked about his childhood, he responded, "I guess if there was a flavor [of childhood], I guess childhood was a kind of surreal, bright, depression," (Breskin 38). Aside from watching horror movies, Burton spent most of his adolescence drawing. He went on to win a scholarship to the California Institute of the Arts, awarded to him by Disney. After being unsuccessful working in the Disney atmosphere, where the animation was too cheery and uniformed for him, he went on to make distinctive box office hits.…

The lower budget ones image's stuck in Burton's head, although he didn’t watch them for that purpose. The images and impressions on a young Burton's mind, combining with a sense of abandonment from the suburban society, he developed a love to create. This love manifested in many ways be that as it may the most important was what started out as doodles and irrelevant sketches turned into an outlet from his world (Howell). Young Burton didn’t consider the drawings he made relevant until he won a contest for his drawing to be chosen as the local garbage company’s new advertising picture. When reflecting about his younger life Burton often re states that he was most likely clinically depressed and didn’t know it (Itzkoff).
