Tim Burtons Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Preview

Once Upon a Time

The story began many years ago in a town which was already filled with more than its fair share of directors, actors and film studios. The place: Burbank, California.

It was there he grew up and spent his childhood as a young boy often dreaming and creating his own imaginary world. His head was filled with a dark and mysterious curiosity regarding all that surrounded him. He was often feeling around in the darkness for a sense of direction or a sense of self but, amidst all this confusion, there stood a boy with a dream of his own – there stood Tim Burton.

Burton was a strange young man. Born to a middle-of-the-road family living in a middle-of-the-road town, he grew up with a middle-of-the-road life. Burton, however, was no middle-of-the-road guy. He was a misfit from the outset - a square peg in a round hole, a big fish in a small pond. It was only a matter of time before the young Tim Burton would break free from his confusion, turn it around, embrace it, branch out and take on the world.
