God, I cannot stress this enough: TIM BURTON IS A Genius! "Vincent" was one of Tim's first films. Actually, first ideas. He has a very interesting imagination when it comes to this film. It reminded me a lot of Edgar... Full review

Now comes word that the short film that really MADE Tim Burton, his gothic comic horror Vincent , narrated by Vincent Price (Burton's muse) will be rendered into a 3-D short to be shown in front of Nightmare . It's one of the great stop-motion animated shorts, Burton's great calling card and a lovely way to remember the great Vincent Price. ... Full Review
