Vincent: An Eerily Delightful Animated Short by Tim Burton

With the exception of Ed Wood, I do my best to avoid Tim Burton movies. (Well, and PeeWee’s Big Adventure, but that doesn’t really qualify). Sure, they’ve got the visuals down, but dude can’t tell a story…After six minutes, I’m boooooooard.

Thankfully, Burton’s first animated short, Vincent, last’s just that long. It’s a stop-motion treatment of a Burton’s eponymous poem about a macabre little boy obsessed with Vincent Price (who narrated) and Edgar Allen Poe. No surprise there, but it’s quite fun to watch each year around Halloween time.
