Tim Burton Interviews Edited by Kristian Fraga

Introduction:" Burton responded to his critics with one of his most unique and inspired works to date Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas this picture ushered in a quantum leap in the art of stop motion animation and was the first Disney movie to be released using this technique president of Walt Disney pictures and touchstone put it, "this was an opportunity for us to be in business with Tim Burton and to say we can think outside the envelope can do different and usual things"

"I thought that people, especially kids, would love his work they way they loved Charles Addams"
"Mimi Avins in her 1995 premiere magazine profile of the film "but nobody recognized that of Disney they thought ok this is just too weird"

The introduction section of this book suggested that Tim Burton is an unique style of animator, drawer and creation-er within film and that he extended the possibilities in films not just for Disney however producers approach all assumed that his style would engage to kids just like"Charles Addams" however ended up being unrecognizable Disney films and audiences all saw it  as "too weird".

page 5- "Burton's first step into live action work was with frankenweenie"
Tim Burton said in his interview that "Disney own both films I cant even get a copy of them"
"At one point frankenweenie was scheduled to be paired with a re-release of Pinocchio but with negative feedback at a test screening caused studio heads to change their minds"

Tim said that "they claimed the film was too violent", "the only violence in that is when the dog gets run over by a car and that is done off camera"

Suggesting that originally Disney and people from the feedback test screening didn't originally
approve of Burton's film frankenweenie as it was just "too violent" for audiences although Burton suggested that the violence was off camera although later on in page 55 frankenweeneie was given a PG rating instead of G and then Disney buried it into their vault and Tim said that from what he understood was that Disney wouldn't give you a personal copy of it and Burton agreed that they were very weird about it

Although later on in page 96 they focus on The Nightmare Before Christmas " a twisted holiday fable that take place on a night when the sky is so dark it still has a conventional hero, a hissable villain and tunes that would be out of place in an old fashioned Broadway musical"

Within this book Burton discussed his work with Disney and also expressed how they acted towards his work originally and how they're still weird about it today as Disney has always been protective over his work as it was considered to scary for kids but eventually overtime they have partnered with Burton's style.
