This is made by Tim Burton, even in a cartoon and computer animation, he uses the same type of style, if you can see it's dark around the eyes, its's scary, sad and so un-life like, and very sharp aswell.

How is this animation typical of Tim Burton's style? 
It's very typical, as Tim Burton has put in the dark and scary looking features on the face, but this is actually one of his animation that at first time seeing it, you can't really recognise it's by him as most of his work is animation on humans that are Gothic in their way or very dead. But it links in with the others he has made- they are miserable, scary, sad and depressing in it's own based-on-story way. What's different about this is that Burton's animations are usually made from clay, this is computerised and you can tell very clearly, the picture is like what you see in a virtual game but in a clearer version but you can still tell the difference. This is not really in common with the animation Vincent at all because Vincent is from clay and it's a short animation while Nine is a movie and like i said again, it's made on a computer.

This video I think is very good, it's called Vincent and its made by Tim Burton with the help from Rick Heinrichs.

I like this video because it's very Gothic and dark, I like the story of a little boy who wants to be someone else who is proud and famous in a way which is Vincent Price, but he is Vincent Maloy, having imaginations of evil experiments, it reminds me of when I was little when I wanted to draw very evil things, and I have in a way.

I think the short film would be better if it was upgraded shall I say, so its clearer to see and clearer to hear.
Maybe make another short film as a sequel to it, to give it more thought in the video. Maybe a lot of people might like it if it was found out more, but this was the first time I've ever heard of it.

Tim Burton uses the same type of style on most of his films that he's done when it comes to animation. They are usually dark, Gothic, sad, very dramatic look on the features of the face and the body of the character, mostly in clay and weird and unusual looks to the story or film, that's what I like about Tim Burton, as his animations are so different to any other animation films that you see in the movies. You can tell straight away when you see the animation (Vincent) you can tell it's made by Tim  Burton.

Just like the other animations he's done, they all have the same effect:

Coraline-

Corpse Bride-
