I think a lot of people really just don't get him. People who don't understand what it feels like to be alone, people who don't stand out, or people who are just normal probably don't understand the depth of his work. I mean, most of his fans are his fans because they can relate to his work, right?

Yeah. I like the weird stuff, I mean I never wanted to fit in. I was always me. Im too much of a goody too shoes, but with an edge, but that makes me diffferent.

I so totally agree with you! I tend to be alone a lot and somehow I connected my self to animation/art. The Nightmare Before Christmas was the Tim Burton film that made me fall in love with animation

Are there such people???

Wow, from movie critics to close friends and my mum who is the -hardest to like something- person ever to walk the earth, it never occured to me to learn about someone who dislikes or hates Tim Burton. Seriously! OK, everyone has a different taste I guess...

Because most people are scared of 'the unusual'. If something isn't the norm, people tend to be freaked out by it. Luckily we are open minded enough to understand and enjoy the brilliant work Tim does :)

Maybe because of the stereotype of goths.

A lot of mainstream people do not like gothic things and stuff...
for the rest, I don't know.

People are just scared by anything that's not perky or about a shallow romance it's stupid really. Also i think people just tend to look at someone and label them.

Because some people are very close minded. And when something new or different comes along they don't know how to handle it so they're bash it because they're afraid

Disliking Burton's stuff has nothing to do with "not getting him" or being "normal". Of all his movies, I personally only really liked Beetlejuice. It was offbeat and funny and had a great original story. But I find a lot of his work feels like rehashing of the same old ideas from previous projects. His adaptions and re-tellings like Sleepy Hollow and Alice in Wonderland tend to be formulaic and untrue to the spirit of the source material. As an artist and director it feels a bit like he's a stagnant, unchanging one trick pony. You know exactly what you're going to get with him. It's just a matter of time before you hear Danny Elfman and Johnny Depp pops up with some eyeliner and pin stripes. Aside from that, the world isn't split into normal and weird. It's a huge spectrum and what is weird or interesting for one person may not hold true for someone else. Disagreeing with my criticism of his work is fine. Burton may be your perfect definition of strange and unusual but he is neither of these things to me.

He has a very distinct style that is present in all of his work, so if that's not your taste it's going to be difficult to appreciate him. Similarly, I think that's why so many people who do like him enjoy the majority of his work.

Most likely because of his style. I have a friend who doesn't like him because the stuff he makes looks too creepy for them.
Which is okay! His unique style isn't for everyone. Some people like it, some people don't. Another one of my friends absolutely loves Tim Burton, so it's just the matter of preference.

I don't hate Time Burton, I just don't like his movies. They are really hard to watch. The story is usually ok but they are visually uncomfortable.
