  • More about Tim Burton's Bodies: Gothic, Animated, Corporeal and Creaturely

Tim Burton's Bodies explores the body as a centripetal force in his work, focusing on the array of anomalous, extraordinary, and transgressive beings that inhabit his canon. It broadens the focus of living forms to include animated, creaturely, corporeal, and Gothic bodies, exploring the way that Burton celebrates the body, whether human, animal, animated, or anthropomorphised.

Tim Burton, an internationally renowned director, is celebrated for his fantasy horror films and the macabre ghosts, animated corpses, and grotesques that inhabit them. This innovative study focuses on the body as a centripetal force in Burton's work and examines the array of anomalous, extraordinary, and transgressive beings that permeate his canon. It expands the focus of living forms to include animated, creaturely, corporeal, and Gothic bodies, exploring the way that Burton celebrates the body, whether human, animal, animated, or anthropomorphized. By prioritizing the somatic aspects of characters, Tim Burton's Bodies highlights actual physical attributes and behavior and considers the meanings these may impart in terms of race, class, gender, sexuality, humanimality, and disability.
