Favorite Tim Burton Animation:

One of my favorites is Corpse Bride. It is an interesting movie in which an awkward young man ends up accidentally marrying a dead woman, but is later allowed to actually marry the woman he originally intended to. The young man, Victor, is dragged down into the land of the dead by Emily. Eventually Emily realizes that in order for them to actually marry, Victor must be dead. All the while, Victor learns about Emily's misfortunate demise. The color scheme in the land of the living is dark versus the land of the dead's bright colors. It works well with the feeling the movie tries to portray. The musical score blend in perfectly to the scenes provided. Overall it's a good story and was presented well.


Style:

Tim Burton's Style tends to have characters with exaggerated features, specifically they're eyes and body shapes. He either will use a dark color pallet for "darker tales" or a bright color pallet for more "humorous" stories.
