Tim Burton


The next filmmaker that I am going to mention is Tim Burton. He has made many films that do not feature stop motion animation, so it wouldn’t be said that he specialises in it, however he has made several high quality stop motion animation films, most famously The Nightmare Before Christmas, which has gained a cult following because of its unique style of mixing dark elements into a child oriented movie, as well as the fact that the entire movie is Claymation, which makes it more unique, since Claymation movies are not that common, although this is by no means the first ever Claymation movie.



Another movie that Tim Burton made using stop motion animation was Corpse Bride, this was also the first stop motion movie that he actually directed himself. It featured a similar tone and visual style to Nightmare Before Christmas, in that it is dark, but ultimately aimed at kids and uses Claymation.
