Burton's art

A five-year-old girl sits in front of the screen and admires, and her mother suddenly turns off the TV, exclaiming: "Don't watch this horror." The girl couldn't understand why? This is so beautiful!

"Corpse Bride", "Edward Scissorhands", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Alice in Wonderland(2010)", "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", "Beetlejuice".

Probably many watched these films. They are connected by Burton's art. Unfortunately, I found out only a year ago, but I saw most of his creations and praised. I want to acquaint you with the distinguishing features of his style in art. 

Atmosphere. His films are saturated with darkness, but at the same time these are colorful. The musical accompaniment in his creations also makes you feel the atmosphere. Vivid proof of this film "Alice in Wonderland" (2010). He was able to present the tale in a different format, bright color schemes did not affect the gloom of the stories, but rather added a share of the Gothic.

Creativity. Yes, many of his works were adaptations, but each of them went through his perception. He never copied, his handwriting is visible everywhere. One of his works, “Corpse Bride,” this cartoon was shot frame by frame, his characters are dolls. This is more complicated than graphic, even manual drawing. One minute of the cartoon takes more than 5 hours of time. 

Kids. In almost all of his works, children occupy a large place. He shows that in most cases children can be smarter, stronger morally and more humanity than adults.

Meaning. On the Internet they say that he promotes thoughts of death. Yes, in his works there is death, but it is not something terrible that cannot be talked about. He presents this as part of our life with which we must put up and not be afraid.

Team. Of course, the directors can not cope alone, he was able to realize his vision only with the help of his team. When watching his films, you can see that often Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter star in them. And in almost all films, Danny Elfman’s compositions.
