Tim Burton is best known for his films, "Edward Scissorhands," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Burton went to California's Institute of Arts, in which he later on joined into the Disney animation program. Two years after studying he joined the Disney animators, this did not however suit his passion and he ended up being off the team.

After leaving Disney, Burton was hired by Warner Bros and he became a big success. He was asked to make "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" which became a hit. He made another popular film "Beetlejuice."  After two successful films, Burton was asked by Warner Bros to direct the most awaited comic book adaptation, "Batman."  Upon its completion, Tim Burton took the chance to introduce his own personal project, "Edward Scissorhands" in 1990.

Tim Burton is married to Helena Bonham Carter for 13 years, but the couple finally called it quits. The couple shared two children together. During her interview with Red Magazine Helena shared her heartfelt sentiments in regards to their divorce stating that what they had will "always remain special."

"I could write a thesis on what's happened and it is all-absorbing when a relationship breaks down, but I think we're coming through it, and I think we'll have something very precious still. Our relationship was always somewhat special, and I think it'll always remain special. We did find each other. And really, the mark of a successful relationship shouldn't be whether you're there forever after. Sometimes you're not meant to be forever together. Sometimes you have to come to terms with the fact that that was it. But that was a gift, a massive gift. We gave each other children and a lot more else. And we might be better, and still be able to give to each other, but not necessarily living together. Which we did by the way, because everyone seemed to think we didn't, but that was a load of myth."
