Burton was interviewed on 
Wednesday, February 20,2013 by The Treatment. Burton's newest movie Frankenweenie which was jsut released was nominated for and Oscar Award. 

During the interview Burton tell the interviewer that his favorite part of making the film is not so much the realease date and how big the film will be. His favorite part of making the film is shooting the movie. Burton explains that his movies he never noticed had much to do with that of families till this interview., He states that "he and his family were never close". I found this so shocking in that of which I would think the complete opposite just the fact of hime being such a great film phenomenom. Burton states though that "parents are inspirations whether the rekationships are good or bad a child relies and looks for their parents". 

Burton stated that when making the movie Big Fish he made is just because of the fun of film making but he never realized that his film was based off something that occured in his life. He stated "my father passed away before the film Big Fish was created". Therefore there is a lot of explinatiton in which why his films are family based because he misses that area in his life. He also states that the death of his father although they were not close "struck him in a big way."

Burton goes o to saying that you can never "be prepared for someones death". In the film Frankenweenie Burton shows the child and his struggles of family life and we can see that half of his life is being brought out through his movies. He comes to this understanding and is in some sort of shock. Although he states "projecting is powerful". 

In conclusion Burton comes to talk about how the Films have made a great impact in his life. He states that there is so many things to do with that of animation in which you can do so many things. Burtons life stories come out through his films which is good because he doesnt discuss his life often. He never realized it till now that his movies express his feelings. Very rarely though do we see his films in color.
