Timothy Walter "Tim" Burton〔Tim Burton's middle name is cited as Walter by the Museum of Modern Art on its (web appearance for a 2009 exhibition on Burton's artwork ) and (a book ) covering Burton's career as an artist and filmmaker, though it is cited as William by other sources, such as the (Tim Burton Collective ).〕 (; born August 25, 1958) is an American film director, producer, artist, writer, and animator. He is known for his dark, gothic, macabre, and quirky horror and fantasy films such as the horror comedy fantasy ''Beetlejuice'' (1988), the romantic dark fantasy ''Edward Scissorhands'' (1990), the musical fantasy-thriller ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'' (1993), the comedy-drama biopic ''Ed Wood'' (1994), the fantasy adventure ''Sleepy Hollow'' (1999), the animated fantasy ''Corpse Bride'' (2005), the musical horror film ''Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'' (2007), the horror comedy ''Dark Shadows'' (2012) and the animated horror comedy ''Frankenweenie'' (2012).

Burton has worked repeatedly with Johnny Depp, who has become a close friend of Burton since their first film together. He has also worked with musician Danny Elfman, who has composed scores for all but two of the films Burton has directed. Actress Helena Bonham Carter, Burton's former domestic partner, has appeared in many of his films. He also wrote and illustrated the poetry book ''The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories'', published in 1997, and a compilation of his drawings, sketches and other artwork, entitled ''The Art of Tim Burton'', which was released in 2009.
==Early life==
Burton was born in 1958, in the city of Burbank, California, to Jean Burton (née Erickson), the owner of a cat-themed gift shop, and Bill Burton, a former minor league baseball player who would later work for the Burbank Park and Recreation Department. As a preteen, Burton would make short films in his backyard on Evergreen Street using crude stop motion animation techniques or shoot them on 8 mm film without sound (one of his oldest known juvenile films is ''The Island of Doctor Agor'', that he made when he was 13 years old). Burton studied at Burbank High School, but he was not a particularly good student. He was a very introspective person, and found his pleasure in painting, drawing and watching films. His future work would be heavily influenced by the works of such childhood heroes as Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl.〔Alison McMahan (2005). ("The Films of Tim Burton: Animating Live Action in Contemporary Hollywood" ). p.27. Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005〕 After graduating from Burbank High School with Jeff Riekenberg, Burton attended the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, to study character animation. As a student at CalArts, Burton made the shorts ''Stalk of the Celery Monster'' and ''King and Octopus''.
