Tradición y subversión en el cine gótico de animación de Tim Burtonde la risa al escalofrío

Resumo

Already in his early films, the American director Tim Burton sethimself in the contemporary horror trend with gothic hints, to unveil, beforeus, a strange, dark and horrible world, although kind, parodied, and tender, atthe same time. It is in his stop-motion animated films, ceaselessly searching forgothic expressionism, where all his features were set and the rules that would split his production up in two worlds were established. These two worlds: thereal and the supernatural, this one world that recreates his imagination andthat other ordinary one. The key of this duality will be established throughsome of his productions (Vincent, The Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride,Frankenweenie), from the everyday elements that go along with those othergrotesque and disturbing ones, in addition to the horror and darkness, evenhis sense of the macabre and the new meaning of monstrosity
