Warning: Spoilers
For a very short film directed and written by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street), this shows more of his interesting talent than Pee-Wee's Big Adventure ever could. Basically Vincent Price narrates a 3 minute animated film (the same stop-motion animation that inspired Burton to create The Nightmare Before Christmas) about a schizophrenic (I think) character named Vincent who wants to be like his alter ego, Vincent Price. This is a really good rhyme story with a pretty nasty young man with a nasty dream. In black and white makes it even more creepier and just a bit difficult to deal with. Personally I much prefer The Nightmare Before Christmas, but this is worth watching for Burton's pretty interesting story and directing skills, and it is one of his early films. Worth watching!
