Favorite Tim Burton Animation

Of Tim Burton's animations I think I would probably have to list Frankenweenie as my favorite. I am not a huge fan of Tim Burtons so I haven't watched to many of his animations and if not for my children I probably wouldn't have watched Frankenweenie either.

Style

In his bio on IMDB it says he grew up as a fan of Vincent Price which I believe is proven by the fact that the main character in Vincent is also a fan and looks suspiciously like Burton plus he was able to get Vincent Price to narrate it. I would have to say that I also think the fact shows through in that like the main body of Vincent Price's work Tim Burton's style is very dark and gothic.
