Christmas is the season of giving — and the director of the classic stop-motion film The Nightmare Before Christmas is hoping the world finally gives him… some effing credit this holiday season!
When many fans think of Nightmare they think of one person — the iconic Tim Burton (pictured above, right). In fact, most anywhere you look the film is credited as Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas. But as some of you cinephiles out there may know, he didn’t even make the movie!

Burton conceptualized the idea, co-produced the film, and came up with those seriously cool character designs — but he had no hand in the direction, screenplay, cinematography, or animation of the blockbuster. The director of the film is actually Henry Selick (pictured above, left) — who you may know for his other hit movies like Coraline and James and the Giant Peach. And he’s had it with everyone thinking of the 1993 film Tim’s sole work.
In an interview with AV Club on Monday the director finally spoke out on his feelings surrounding the film’s conception — and how he got totally screwed over just 3 weeks before the premiere:
Wow.
Selick was in production with Nightmare for about three years and then suddenly due to Burton’s previous success and name recognition, thanks to hits like Batman and Edward Scissorhands, Disney made the move to call it his film. That’s gotta sting — it’s understandable why Henry is a little salty! And a bit shady…
When talking about Burton’s involvement in the movie (or lack thereof), the 69-year-old says it’s unfair to discredit him and his team by giving all the glory to one person who wasn’t even there:
Whoa. He refers to
Bringing a role to life. Netflix’s Wednesday put a lot of work into creating Nevermore Academy — which includes transforming the show’s actors into completely different people.
The first episode of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” based on the classic Charles Addams character, is one of the best things Tim Burton has directed in years. Fans who grew up with Burton’s work in the ’80s and ’90s have lamented his output for years, as the visually inventive director seems to have lost the creative passion that used to fuel his work.

You may hate yourself in the morning, but if you are in the mood for a completely un-PC, morbidly amusing farce about the need for greed, the new comedy The Estate may be right up your alley.
Anna Faris almost said goodbye to acting!
Ever since Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland” became a billion-dollar box office hit, one of Walt Disney Pictures’ main goals has been to make live-action adaptations of all their animated classics for a new generation of kids and families. And so far, it’s been mostly working.
What sorcery is this? The 2012 film Dark Shadows was the big-screen adaptation of a gothic soap opera with the same name, which ran from 1966 to 1971. (There was also a 1991 short-lived revival TV series.)
In 2009, it was considered almost shocking when Pixar’s Up addressed the subject of death in its now-classic opening sequence, a bittersweet mini-movie of love and loss.
Long-time based London resident Tim Burton has joked that the current political chaos in the U.K. might prompt him to leave the country.
Tim Burton described his career working uniquely with the Hollywood studios as a “strange phenomenon” in a masterclass at the Lumière Festival in Lyon on Friday.
After a career spanning nearly forty years, Tim Burton shows no signs of slowing down, even if it’s been three years since his last film, the live-action Disney remake of “Dumbo.” Up next for the auteur? “Wednesday,” his Netflix series based on “The Addams Family” character, starring Jenny Ortega.
There’s a lot riding on Jenna Ortega’s deadpan performance as Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton’s coming-of-age comedy Wednesday, which debuts — of course — Wednesday, November 23 on Netflix. She plays the beloved Addams family character in the series, which marks Burton’s first live-action show, as well as his directing debut for such a project.
Billie Eilish and singer Jesse Rutherford sparked dating rumors last week, and they have now seemingly confirmed their relationship.

‘We’ve Just Hit Pause for the Moment’“Because of what’s going on with the writers strike and everything, we’ve put the movie on, basically on pause,” Depp said in a 2007 interview with India’s NDTV as he promoted the Tim Burton-directed “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” six months after the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” the Disney franchise’s third installment. “We’ve just hit pause for the moment to see how everything goes with the writers strike,” Depp said. “Mira’s work with Eric Roth has been amazing.
