'There’s less room for different types of things.' Tim Burton is sounding off on his previous working relationship with Disney, saying he is unlikely to return to the company as a director in the future.
The filmmaker attended the Lumiere Festival in France over the weekend, where he received the honorary Prix Lumière award. He spoke at a press conference on Saturday where he likened working for the company to the character Dumbo being trapped in “this horrible big circus.” “It’s gotten to be very homogenized, very consolidated. There’s less room for different types of things,” Burton said, according to Deadline.
Burton last collaborated with Disney on 2019’s live-action reimagining of “Dumbo.” The “Beetlejuice” director first worked for the Mouse House as junior animator for films like 1981’s “The Fox and the Hound.” He went on to direct movies like “A Nightmare Before Christmas” in 1993, 1996’s “James and the Giant Peach,” 2012’s “Frankenweenie” and “Alice in Wonderland” in 2010 among other titles. “I was hired and fired like several times throughout my career there,” he added.
