The Wonderful World Of Tim Burton
Tim Burton's style is instantly recognisable, as demonstrated in this week's Alice in Wonderland pics. We look back over his history to see how it developed, in the man's own words.

The Wonderful World Of Tim Burton | The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Although Burton passed the stop-motion directorship to Henry Selick for his story The Nightmare Before Christmas, there were familiar Burton flourishes. The creation of Sally, a heroine quite literally falling apart at the seams, was visually interpreted by Selick from Burton's instructions: "Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas is stitched together because these are symbols of the way I feel. Being loosely stitched together and constantly trying to pull yourself together, so to speak, is just a strong feeling for me. In a great fairytale you always get these weird images that are symbolic of something else."
