As a child Tim Burtons favourite activities were painting, watching movies and drawing. His first job was for Disney, he had to draw the characters for all the disney films but he didn't enjoy this job because he couldn't express himself through this art because the things on disney had to be suitable for children but he wanted to draw more dark characters that wasn't suitable for children. Shortly after the studio realised that Burton's talent wasn't being made use of so they made him a conceptual artist. This is when you design characters that appear in films. He did early work on The Black Cauldron, which was a fantasy series. Burtons artwork did not match up with this since Disney was not made to be dark. Because it didn't go too well it wasn't used.
When Tim Burton left The Walt Disney Company, after recieveing positive reviews from the film studios, Tim burton was looking for a full length film to direct. When Reubens and the producers of Pee-Wees Big Adventure saw Tim Burtons work on Vincent and Frankenweenie, They decided to let Burton direct for their film.
When Burton created the film, Edward Scissorhands, it was the first time Burton had full creative control over a feature film, he also wrote the story and produced the movie. The film was hit with moviegoers and critics and that marked the beginning of Burton being taken seriously as an artist.
