Vincent / USA / 1982

This six-minute animated film by Tim Burton, created using the same stop-motion techniques as The Nightmare Before Christmas, is the director at his uncorrupted best. Examining the dark daydreams of a lonely and awkward boy, inspired by both the verse of Edgar Allen Poe and 1950s horror films, Burton cast his childhood hero Vincent Price as the narrator. Against the recitation of a grim poem, little Vincent Malloy imagines burying his wife alive, encasing his aunt in wax, and turning his pet dog into a lurking zombie. It’s a delightful, imaginative, and graceful work of short cinema that evokes the fantasy-driven innocence of youth and the long-lost creativity of Burton’s older, better films.
