Anyone have a more recent image? Burton and Depp were live on television tonight talking about the Chocolate Factory, and Burton has gained a LOT of weight. (I'll save the jokes about working on a movie about candy...)

Hint: Grab a dictionary before you rant--you'll sound smarter.

To be honest I think quite a lot of the article is poorly written. I don't mean to cause any offence, but the quality of the writing just doesn't seem up to scratch.

Similar to the Steven Spielberg page, it would be great if we could have paragraphs of information on each film and maybe even a few paragraphs on the various colaborations Tim Burton has done. Including Danny Elfman and Actors (e.g Jonny depp, Hulk Hogan and Jack Nicholson.

4 sequels? I don't think so. Batman Begins is a completely new series (though, admittedly, it borrows a LOT from the original series). I added a little about the Batman franchise in general.

Burton often casts certain actors more than once in his films. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Christopher Lee, Deep Roy, Michael Gough, Jeffrey Jones and Michael Keaton are amongst his most frequent of collaborators.

(REMOVED SECTION ENDS HERE)

I would just like to point out a mistake on the table of recurring actors in Burton's movies. The most recent table states that Johnny Depp was in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but this is false.

Would someone please remove Elfman from the table? He is techically not an actor, and he's listed for his scores. - Cartoon Boy (talk) - 2:22, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Idk if it's using a special definition of filmography for this table, but even without directing it, the movie is his baby. I assume this was an accidental delete or a dispute. Please add it back.

An IP user has been adding a long list of names to the "frequently collaborated with" list in the lead. I don't know what criteria they're using for that list, but Alan Arkin, Martin Short, Albert Finney and Jack Nicholson have each been in only two of Burton's films.

Listing only two or three of his most frequent collaborators would seem enough. Belbury (talk) 12:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
