Finished in 1982...my absolute favorite Burton. I was especially impressed with the way he used raw animation to bring emotion to life... I highly recommend it. Vincent is darkly comical, yet appropriate for anyone. This short really turned me on to Vincent Price... his narration is his usual creepy tone, but the underlying message and references to Poe's "The Raven" and also a few references to Price's films are cool also. If you are a fan of Edward Gory, some of the images may be familiar also. The story is done in rhyming couplets-- the same style as Dr. Seuss, and follow young Vincent Malloy who sympathizes with Vincent Price and Edgar Allen Poe, comparing himself to them so very realistically until his mother shakes his back to reality...
