Answer 1

Timothy "Tim" William Burton (born August 25, 1958) is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning American film director, screenwriter and set designer, notable for the quirky and often dark, gothic atmosphere pervading his high-profile films. The protagonists are usually misfits or outsiders, physically or emotionally different or scarred.

The director of two Batman films, Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), he has collaborated with actor Johnny Depp and actress Helena Bonham Carter prolifically in films such as Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride in 2005. His 2007 film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, also starring Depp and Bonham Carter in the leading roles, won the award for Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) and Best Actor (Comedy or Musical) at the 65th Golden Globe Awards. It was also nominated for Best Actor, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design at the 80th Academy Awards. He has also collaborated extensively with composer Danny Elfman, in all but two of his films.

Answer 4

WHAT!!  Tim Burton is a director.  A lot of his films had Johnny Depp in them, such as Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hallow, and Sweeney Todd.    He's an awesome director and if you like weird, offbeat, Johnny Depp movies, then you should definetely watch Edward Scissorhands!!!

Answer 5

Tim Burton did not create Sweeney Todd (sorry), he just made him available to American audiences.  It's been a London play for years.  He is also responsible for "James and the Giant Peach," "Corpse Bride," "Mars Attacks," "Edward Scissorhands," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Big Fish," "Planet of the Apes," "Beetlejuice," and "Batman Returns" either as producer or director.  He is also a writer on many of the projects, as well as working some of the animation and design. Currently engaged to Helena Bonham Carter, they have two children.
