{"product_id":"the-films-of-tim-burton-alison-mcmahan-9780826415677","title":"The Films of Tim Burton: Animating Live Action in Contemporary Hollywood","description":"Most Tim Burton films are huge box-office successes, and several are already classics. The director's mysterious and eccentric public persona attracts a lot of attention, while the films themselves have been somewhat overlooked. Here, Alison McMahan redresses this imbalance through a close analysis of Burton's key films () and their industrial context. She argues that Burton has been a crucial figure behind many of the transformations taking place in horror, fantasy, and sci-fi films over the last two decades, and demonstrates how his own work draws on a huge range of artistic influences: the films of George Melies, surrealism, installation art, computer games, and many more. The Films of Tim Burton is the most in-depth analysis so far of the work of this unusual filmmaker - a director who has shown repeatedly that it is possible to reject mainstream Hollywood contentions while maintaining critical popularrity and commercial success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison McMahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826415679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826415677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Alison McMahan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059906998527,"sku":"9780826415677","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ea9b50b-fb3b-4948-a87d-fa9b3d2b744c.jpg?v=1685060952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-films-of-tim-burton-alison-mcmahan-9780826415677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
