He sees actor Vincent Price as his great example and does like to him like he is. He goes on in the stories of Poe that he loses his grip on reality. He imagines that he is, The Raven in the story and the main character is. ==Background[ Edit] == When he still worked as a draftsman at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Tim Burton drew the attention of Disney producer Julie Hickson and Tom Wilhite. Both were impressed by his unique talents. Although his creations not really in the picture of most Disney productions adapted, they found that he still had to get a chance to prove themselves. Therefore, Wilhite gave Burton a budget of $ 60,000 in 1982 to create a short film of his poem "Vincent". [1]
