[TZIDuffman]

[spoiledspider]

[foolhardyfilms]

loving the 'clothes peg' he has on his little finger.

[ConfessorAmanda]

[fiarydeath]

[ToxicThePanther]

[JordanWarnerFilms]

[Somethingsmissing94]

Truly a genious, just an honest, beautiful artist who lets his mind travel where it must, and just doesnt give a fuck about any rubbish. People will say what they will, but he is an artist through and through, a great one.

[PedjaUnderMySkin]

what's his favourite movie i can't understand him? ;S

[LordInfamous2011]

tim burton = Genius

[MissJaggerWocky]

17 people don't wear striped socks

[7Invader7Nny7]

God this video is driving me crazy cuz I want that background music in my iPod!!

[BubbleT1ger]

This man IS an artist.

[Wurfenkopf]

@BubbleT1ger

This man is THE artist.

[7Invader7Nny7]

I really like that background music. If anyone could get an mp3 link for the bgm, I would love you for a long time :)

[Ozmantic17]

I love you Tim

[scaryguy004]

you know,i make fliptones that usually have skulls,but everybody says its evil but its not,burton's lucky to have ppl who let him do this stuff

[AlesmileJoe]

@scaryguy004 dont listen what people say about your fliptones.

[Grandtendo54321]

@667Atlas I know right? He sounds alot like Nicolas Cage.

[667Atlas]

have seen every single one of his movies prob a trillion times but never heard him talk in my life

[Kakoozie]

Tim Burtons art is not scary at all, his characters are frightening looking but a lot of people don't see how fragile and emotional they are :) they look really friendly such as jack.

[glittermeansgold]

...little dead riding hood?

[stich7771]

Tim WHAT THE F**K is wrong with your mind O_O looking at your drawings make me scared

[DestructionBattery]

I can identify with this, how you just wanna dissapear into a fictional world and stay there away from the horrible truth in this world....

[nuke97]

Hola Tim burton, I went to your art exhibit in Los Angeles and left fully inspired. Also when I had seen your movies growing up I was always intrigued by how much they reminded me of my hometown of Burbank. Now I know why.

[HumbleOtaku]

GO TIM BURTON!!!!!!

[Adler36]

Somehow, all artists that I admire so much (Tim Burton, Lady GaGa, Karl Lagerfeld etc. ...) wear sunglasses most of the time. Perhaps I should also start to wear tinted glasses all the time to give them tribute...

[OneEndedStick]

Haha that's weird I love wearing striped socks too

[triforceize]

He looks like Nicholas cage

[colormagicsky]

Thank You Tim Burton for your movies.

I wrote this brilliant piano piece if anyone wants to hear it I would really appreciate it. It's a dark dramatic piece come check it out and leave your feedback.

Just click on my user name and it will be on my page.

It's called Nocturnal

Thanks

[Heavymetalgamer28]

I was told I could not draw as well, and he's lucky that he found a supportive teacher that let him express himself, I never had that opportunity, but I still felt confident about myself and continue to draw

Tim Burton is the man.

[KatieStalvatore13]

U can tell Tim Burton has done a movie (poem) is Stripes :D For ixample:

Jack Skellington, stripes

The Tweedles, stripes

Mrs. Lovett, stripes

Hideous penguin boy (the poem) the background, strips

I'm a huge Fan of Tim I have been ever since I was 5. I would love to meet him. i even have striped socks, shirt, and pants xDDD and it's true I do feel grounded and at ease <3 Love Tim Burton!!!!! I relate to his saying about the drawings. The drawings show ur character and who u r in reality.

[spoeki1]

the style of Tim Burton is so special : it is the best style of all styles

it is so creepy , so fantastic ... his really own style 

[spoeki1]

[kamdan2011]

00:09 - 00:23 I had that same problem, but in high school. I hate my art teacher for that.

[RainbowWonderLand1]

[keepcalmwithtea]

He taught me to use my my Nightmares as my advantages.

[Javsg]

the unique way to call this guy is: Tim Burton.

[AnneKeat]

what is the name of this song it's totally awesome! I wanna download it onto my i-pod so badly

[MoMAvideos]

@AnneKeat The music is a series of songs created by Danny Elfman for the exhibition. They played at MoMA in the galleries and have been used in other locations.

[Cinedragon]

@MoMAvideos Darn, I wish I was an american now. I really would've liked to go to that exhibition!

[agprincess013]

I love him.

This video actually made me laugh. In a good way, though. Especially when he was talking about his striped socks :D

Ah....

[liDaification]

he's amazing

[arandomperson3]

Enormous amount of creativity. It took me until I was like17 to figure out that all of my favorite movies of all time were directed by Tim Burton. I love all his movies and he is insanely origional...... but his drawings still freak me out.

[drsplatterthrash666]

I watch this every other day!

[RobertoLuigiFilms]

Check out the Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box

[hndsadventure]

he is really awesome what can i say?i like his sytle so much...if i will make movies too i wanna make my own style:)

[Gallifrey1991]

he makes me laugh, in the most positive way! just the quirkiness

[kfkzzy]

Yeah, he didn't drop acid at all. Don't worry, I still think Tim Burton kicks ass!

[Scarypair92]

Wow...Tim Burton...love all his movies...he is a great inspiration to me in my art and my movies. what's on his finger by the way? :O

[qnapsack99999999]

@Scarypair92 I think he broke his finger.

[twistedkeys1976]

MAN! When I saw that Tim Burton was coming to MoMA I wanted to go so bad, but I live way out here in Colorado. I hope he comes back?! I'm actually going to be visiting New York in December 2012, so perhaps he will. That would be awesome.

[Weerd1katalyst]

@twistedkeys1976 I feel exactly the same way. In Colorado as well. The exhibit is apparently gonna be in Toronto next.

[HARDCOREnl1337]

where other people drift off while creating too much movies, tim burton stays a true genius. all of his films are blockbusters and you can tell why.

[dragonholder411]

Haha, we had to do biographys for english class, so I chose to do Tim. I got the highest grade of all the classes, even honors (99/100), and I got the most attention, I appaerntly had the most enthusiasm of everyone, and I only got a 99 because I went over the time limit. XD My dream is to someday 1: work at Tim Burton films, and 2: to go see the MoMa exihibit on him. I'd be the happiest person alive if I got both accomlished....

[nocomparto]

Tim I love you and all your work and Helena and Johnny!!!!

Go Tim!!!

[786haydee]

I liket so much it is the best director creative so mucho word inside of his head! I just love him!

[myckedude]

the man is a genius. I love his art, and especially the fact that he's known since he was younger that his artwork was different than the norm. It's such an inspiration to see someone who had people tell him no you can't draw this way all his life but made it to where he is now

[Lighthouserandoms]

Tim is God

[Broman186]

best director ever

[crunchywasabi12]

I hope i can show tim burton my drawings one day

[tiabbzz]

You had me at I'm Tim Burton

[HarlequinTheatreGirl]

Little Dead Riding Hood LMAO!!! XD

[PeteNelman1]

Wow I never knew Tim, used guidelines you can see them on 0:19!!!

[dismalraven]

I've read that he's working on the Adams Family next. I think that's a perfect match.

[Smithkidz6]

Hes creepy, wierd, scary. But damn he is creative and still my favorite director

[chewylikesit]

doesnt alot of his art seem to revolve around Macabre

[AliceElphabaWonka]

@chewylikesit thats exactly right!! Do you not like it? lol. thats why i love his style.

[littleLotte8]

I love him. He is my idol.

[dododaddy1967]

Very interesting works...Thank you.

[Everywhere2]

Okay, I'm getting some striped socks. Can't hurt.

[youcornishpastybasti]

i wish i could meet him :(

[SchneesturmWarrior]

He paint REALLY great!!

[mebekaitlyn1]

i like the pic on 3:54, juz sayin (:

[BlackCatLucky123]

Oh wow, deja vu!

I was drawing a picture of a "Little Dead Riding Hood" a bit before I watched this!

Tim Burton's fantastic :D

[LuciferWitch666]

Tim Burton Rocks!

[clemente204]

tim burton is creative

[FelinityMithra]

what about the wizard of oz? come on! alice in wonderland has been rehashed and rehashed.

[FelinityMithra]

what about the wizard of oz? come on! do that one. alice in wonderland has been rehashed too much.

[HeizenXD]

@FelinityMithra OOOH wizard of oz tim burton style i like it

[AdeleIrCaca]

He's the reason why I want to become a director. He's my biggest insperation.

[exquirkypod123]

I MET TIM BURTON AN DASKED FOR A HUG!!!! AND I GOT ONE!!!!!

[lengthenthedays]

I've always wanted to marry tim burton....well i guess i cant now. but he and helena were made for eachother ^v^

[Liahona3580]

I understand him on some things. The communication thing. I totally understand that and the thing about not being grounded.

[Keliiholokai89]

You rock Tim! the day you stop making movies is the day I stop watching movies.

[chayann4]

Can you still go?

[alchemist4evr]

i was there! Mind blown!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackFlameVI]

I agree with him about school kind of killing creativity. I've had simmiler experiences..

[BethGoth15]

I wish it would come to the UK. I'd love to see this! Does anyone know what's happened to his finger? Has he broken it or is it a carpel tunnel thing?

[PianoOnWheels]

He's so insane...in a good way. XD

[Medievalfilms]

Tim Burton, though I know you will more than likely never see this, you are my idol and if I ever become famous in directing I hope you know that I wouldn't want to half as much if it weren't for you. Tim Burton is awesome

[ToddsTickler]

what is the song in the background of the video??

[Tenfresh]

@ToddsTickler The tracks were written by Danny Elfman for specifically use in the MOMA exhibit. They played on the in the gallery spaces and on the exhibit's website.

[ToddsTickler]

what is the song in the background of the video?? it sounds so awesomee!

[thelittlestar100]

I do not speak in English .. But I Can Understand some words ... one part He says about Charlie and the choclate factory .. says what about it? and the inspiration at Mr wonka character?

[thelittlestar100]

he is wierd ..I have afraid him .. ..hahahaha .. but I like of movies how CatCF with johnny depp ...Edward Scissorhands ..alice in wonderland .. and more ..

[Tutteri92]

He looks so good as always :) <3

[Loz8900]

Honestly, i don't like this guys style. He makes everything look all messed up and weird. And too many dark colors and goth type things....just one big emo attraction. I know I'm going to have about 10,000 + emos yelling at me pretty soon though

[DodGe111594]

@Loz8900 Honestly why did you bother coming to this video then? I can accept that you don't like his style and that's fine by me but don't don't insult him and the people that enjoy his work.

[PuppetMaster249]

@Loz8900 I personally love tim burton's style, ever since I was little. It not really an emo thing, its just a darker style of art and film. I myself have always been into the dark aspects of life and have loved tim's movies since I was little, as well as horror movies. I wont give your comment a thumbs down, you were respectfuly voicing your opinion.

[loveluisan7]

@Loz8900

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MAKES HIM UNIQUE. HE DOENS'T

FOLLOW THE CROWD. HE DOES WHAT HE LOVE BEST.

TIM BURTON YOU ARE VERY UNIQUE.

[Funkykitsune]

@Loz8900

what's wrong with messed up and weird?

Weird is good, beats the hell out of being normal

[AliceElphabaWonka]

@Loz8900 You don't understand how his mind works.

[MrFinalgamer]

man those draws are really crazy LOVE IT :D though his best movie overall (in my opinion) is nightmare before chrismas

[PuppetMaster249]

@MrFinalgamer Whats funny about that is he didnt make the nightmare befor christmas movie. He did the poem though

[EriGaGa92]

is this thing over??? I still haven't gone there! :(((

[drloveko]

He inspiring.....

[Dennycrumbubble]

sure..i guess he was ok..but its been forever since hes done something original, its just been really stupid remakes...and if he loves johnny depp enough to put him in every one of his movies he should just marry him already..

[steveclips]

The Stripe part explains why Beetlejuice and Jack Skellington where stripes. Speaking of Beetlejuice, I wish that Burton would continue on with the cartoon series, but recreate in a stop motion animation mode like his animated films.

[MrYUMProductions]

I totally agree with the striped socks. I spent all my allowance on them last week.

[wildthings65]

he should remake Macbeth. that would be sweeet

[RStudiosPrimo]

@wildthings65 @wildthings65 curse within the arts or not, if tim burton did macbeth, he would break the curse b/c he's super

[Thekidsareonfire]

He outrageous with creativity.

He makes fear look not so

Fearful.

Burton Is Art

[elizabethfaraone]

The exhibit was great. I'm lucky to live in this part of the world, where everything is at our fingertips.

[sweeneytoddfan11]

OMG went to that place and it was amazing! I will never forget it. My favorite part was the life sized figure of Edward Scissorhands. His arms were out like he wanted a hug, but if I did I'd get kicked out. Still love it! Your a genius Burton! :)

[vocalruss]

I am going to try to wear strpped socks!

[AbiMeRose]

Love his drawings!

[MissTimBurtonFan]

hes just the best

[rikcorobot]

What the hell is that on his finger? Oh, Tim, you wacky genius, you. xD

[soyblondy]

Whats that on his finger?

[weeryan2008]

Uhh.... I hate art teachers that tell you that your style of art isn't right, even though art is about self expression.

[thesonofmasterchief]

tim burton is a bad ass

[linkfan160]

Tim Burton: YOU ARE MY HERO!

[MakeupMeLove]

so many movies!, he's amazing!!!

[danae7777777]

which movie is the scene on 6:45

[MakeupMeLove]

i love you!!!!!

[Hef654]

I think Tim Burton is the single reason why I am always myself and never trying to be someone else at any time. To me he is the single greatest role model.

[bigboss25262]

his artwork blows my mind.

[bigboss25262]

Good lord, his art is incredible. Wow.

[ig882007]

tim burtons meh hero too!

[jdeppluver1599]

[howthingswork20091]

I think tim burton should remake the twilight zone movie

[tinkerbell1984ful]

Simplemente un geeenio! Irónicamente la muestra comenzo el 22/11, día de mi cumpleaños! ...con lo que me encantaaaría veerla.. algún día.. no muy lejano..

[MaisieHopley123]

I love Tim Burton Soo much hes different in a awesome way ive watched all his films and have his books hes soo awesome!!! :D Hes my hero!

[Zhavok]

I feel the exact same way when I wear my striped socks, I literally felt chills when he said that. I should have realized that he had an affinity for stripes as well. it's such a simple pattern, keeps me centred.

[rockstarwannabe07]

Tim and his socks tehe <3 i love him he is the best x

[linkfan160]

Tim burton is my hero!

[christianscott123]

@linkfan160 mine to

[erickBUENO2009]

yeah me too!

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

@linkfan160

Me to, his work has touched alot of people

I defend his movies that get alot of slack like 'Planet of the Apes' and 'Alice In Wonderland'

Kevin Smith doesn't have a quarter ofTims admiration from the world, he won't be forgotten

[Inventifier]

ugh i want to go! it got his book tho at least :D hes so enchanting :)

[imsweeneytodd]

i want to buy the original screen used razors, anyone know of how i can go about doing that, seriously, i wanna know.
