Today's presentation is the animated short film Vincent, created by Tim Burton.
Vincent is a stop-motion animated film based on a poem Burton wrote that he originally intended for a children's book. This was created while Burton was still a Disney animator. It features a young boy named Vincent Malloy, who has a macabre personality and pretends he is in fact Vincent Price. His imagination has him believing he is a mad scientist who does experiments on his dog and who yearns for his deceased wife. Despite his mother's efforts to snap Vincent out of his head, he proceeds to be consumed by his morbid fantasies. Oh, the narrator of the film is the real Vincent Price.
Yep, it's a Tim Burton film, all right.
I didn't know this film existed until this month, which is another reason I love doing the Countdown. I love finding this stuff.
Enjoy!
