Before he made Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Ed Wood,
Batman Forever, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire
Hunter....., Tim Burton revealed his hand in this stop-motion animation film - made when he was 23 - in which a young boy dreams of being horror legend Vincent Price. It was not his first short film but it introduced him to the wider film world as a darlky humorous director, which would lead on to his first successful feature film, Beetle Juice.
