Tim Burton Nods to His Past Employer
Here’s a fact that will probably blow your mind- Tim Burton used to work at Disney. Yes, all of those cute little Bambi, birds, mice, and other Disney characters were once the world of Burton. We now know his aesthetic is much different than Disney’s, but in 1982 while working there he wrote a poem that would eventually become The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In the background of this scene from the movie, you can see a nod to Disney characters. Can you spot one? There is a subtle nod to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- see the apple? Certainly a blink and miss it moment!
