Tim Burton brings us 30 seconds of awesome

Any New York-based Tim Burton fan should rush over to 53rd Street sometime between Nov. 22 and April 26, 2010. Why? The Museum of Modern Art will be running a retrospective exhibition on the imaginative director. And, if you ask me, an exhibit on the man behind Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, would include too much glorious quirk and animated derangement to ignore!

MOMA hardly needs to advertise such a cool exhibit—I was there before you could even say Mars Attacks!—but they’ve released this fun 30-second animated spot from the director anyway. So take a look and enjoy 30 fun seconds from Burton.

If you’re in New York, will you head to the exhibit? And if you aren’t a Tim Burton fan, what retrospective would you like to see at a museum?

    I’d love to see : Syd Mead ,Frank Frazetta, Gil Kane, Sam Winston, Dick Smith, Sci-fi /Horror posters from around the world,. These are very interesting subjects at least to me.

    Things like this make me so happy I moved to NYC last year. I’ll be taking in this exhibit as soon as I round up some fellow Burton fans to come along. Thanks for the heads up!
