Tim Burton: Stop Motion - Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, Frankenweenie, Nightmare Before Christmas

Filmography

Our fourth season of Filmography, on the films of genre-blending filmmaker Tim Burton, concludes the season with its fifth and final episode, "Burton in Stop-Motion". This week, CoS Film/TV Editor and host Dominick Suzanne-Mayer is joined by CoS senior writer and editor of The Spool Clint Worthington and writer and The Film Stage Show co-host Michael Snydel. Together, they discuss the ways in which stop-motion animation is and was perfectly suited to Burton's sensibilities as a director, how his various experiments in the form offer windows into different phases of his career, the one famous stop-motion film that he didn't actually direct, and much more.
