The Nightmare Before Christmas
Tim Burtons first animated movie that he wrote and produced was for Disney in 1993, it was a stop motion musical based on his imaginative world and characters called The Nightmare Before Christmas. The cartoon received positive reviews because of its stop motion, music and original story making $50 million as a box office success.
James and the Giant Peach
Tim Burton's next film came out in 1996 and it was a mixture of live action and stop motion footage. The movie was based on Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach and it was nominated for academy award for best original musical.
Corpse Bride
Tim Burton's 3rd animated movie was called Corpse Bride and this stop motion animation brought out his unique style of the dark eerie setting he is so well known for. The movie was released in 2005 and it was Tim Burton's first full animated stop motion feature length film he had directed himself. Corpse Bride was Burton's interpretation on light and dark through a musical.
Frankenweenie
In 2012 Tim Burton brought out another stop motion feature length animation called Frankenweenie. Frankenweenie was remade from a short film Burton made in 1984 also called Frankenweenie, the idea came from a memory from Tim Burton's childhood when he was growing up with his own pet.
All of Tim Burton's animations are stop motion and he sticks with a constant theme and style of the setting and characters. I have seen Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie and these movies I enjoyed very much, the models and stop motion are very interesting to watch because I like to think about how they made it and analyse specific scenes. During my time looking at Tim Burton's work I have realised he is another animator that sticks with his own style with every project and I feel the need to do the same.
