{"product_id":"9781623565220","title":"The Films of Tim Burton: Animating Live Action in Contemporary Hollywood","description":"Most Tim Burton films are huge box-office successes, and several are already classics. The director's mysterious and eccentric public persona attracts a lot of attention, while the films themselves have been somewhat overlooked. Here, Alison McMahan redresses this imbalance through a close analysis of Burton's key films () and their industrial context. She argues that Burton has been a crucial figure behind many of the transformations taking place in horror, fantasy, and sci-fi films over the last two decades, and demonstrates how his own work draws on a huge range of artistic influences: the films of George Melies, surrealism, installation art, computer games, and many more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Films of Tim Burton is the most in-depth analysis so far of the work of this unusual filmmaker - a director who has shown repeatedly that it is possible to reject mainstream Hollywood contentions while maintaining critical popularrity and commercial success.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139486892272,"sku":"9781623565220","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623565220_p0.jpg?v=1763863140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623565220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
