Burton On Burton

In Burton on Burton in the chapter of Childhood in Burbanks- Cals Ants during Tim Burton's early ages he felt 'alienated' as he used to "rip the heads off his toy soldiers and terrorize kids next door" and aimlessly sit in front of the television watching horror movies, Tim said that "I've always loved monsters and monster movies suggesting where he gets his unique dark ideas for his style of drawing however he never thought "about making films for a living" however this opportunity came for Tim "after a couple of years at Disney, "Burton joined Disney in 1979 and worked as an animator on the studio The Fox And The Hound", however during Tim's early years the Disney program offered people the opportunity of becoming an animator although Tim suggested "it was like being in the army".

Tim was there for three years and during that time "there wasn't the diversity in animation that exists now", Tim described that "Disney and I were a bad mix" and he couldn't live up to the Disney program standards as when he was making the drawings for The Fox And The Hound his sketches ended up looking like "roadkill", Tim and Disney didn't collaborate well at the beginning as Disney "want you to be an artist" but also "to be a zombie factory worker and have no personality" but on during his program he ended up becoming a conceptual artist and it became fun and he was able to express his style however when he was hired for the conceptual artist for The Black Cauldron  but "they didn't use one single concept of mine".
