The Profile

American film director known for gothic-fantasy, darkly whimsical visuals and recurring themes of outsiders and misfits.

Frequent collaborations with actor Johnny Depp and composer Danny Elfman; noted for stop-motion animation (Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride) and a distinctive gothic visual style.

DeBaser's reviews paint Burton as the auteur of gothic fairy tales and dark comedy, praised for visual flair and recurring themes of outsiders. Critics celebrate works like Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish and Nightmare Before Christmas while often disputing his studio remakes (Alice, Dumbo). Overall reception on DeBaser is ambivalent: admiration for style and craftsmanship mixed with critiques of some recent choices.
