Editing Tim Burton (section)

=== 1995–2010: Established director ===
In 1996, Burton and Selick reunited for the musical fantasy ''[[James and the Giant Peach (film)|James and the Giant Peach]]'', based on [[James and the Giant Peach|the book]] by [[Roald Dahl]]. Burton, once again, served only as a producer due to his contributions to making ''[[Mars Attacks!]]'' (1996). The film, a combination of live action and stop motion footage, starred [[Richard Dreyfuss]], [[Susan Sarandon]], [[David Thewlis]], [[Simon Callow]] and [[Jane Leeves]] among others, with Selick's animation direction. While a box office disappointment for Disney, the film was received well by critics for its story and visual aspects and was nominated for the Academy Award for [[Best Original Musical or Comedy Score]] (by [[Randy Newman]]).

Elfman and Burton reunited for ''Mars Attacks!''. Based on a popular [[Mars Attacks|science-fiction trading card series]], the film was a hybrid of 1950s science fiction and 1970s all-star disaster films. The coincidence made it an inadvertent spoof of the blockbuster ''[[Independence Day (1996 film)|Independence Day]]'', which had been released five months earlier. The film boasted an all-star cast, including [[Jack Nicholson]], [[Glenn Close]], [[Annette Bening]], [[Danny DeVito]], [[Pierce Brosnan]], [[Michael J. Fox]], [[Sarah Jessica Parker]], [[Natalie Portman]], [[Lukas Haas]], [[Martin Short]], [[Rod Steiger]], [[Christina Applegate]], and [[Jack Black]].

''[[Sleepy Hollow (film)|Sleepy Hollow]]'', released in late 1999, had a supernatural setting and starred Johnny Depp as [[Ichabod Crane]], a detective with an interest in forensic science rather than the schoolteacher of [[Washington Irving]]'s [[The Legend of Sleepy Hollow|original tale]]. With ''Sleepy Hollow'', Burton paid homage to the horror films of the English company [[Hammer Films]]. [[Christopher Lee]], one of Hammer's stars, was given a cameo role. A host of Burton regulars appeared in supporting roles ([[Michael Gough]], [[Jeffrey Jones]], and [[Christopher Walken]], among others), and [[Christina Ricci]] was cast as Katrina van Tassel. A well-regarded supporting cast was headed by [[Miranda Richardson]], [[Michael Gambon]], [[Richard Griffiths]] and [[Ian McDiarmid]]. Mostly well received by critics, and with a special mention to Elfman's gothic score, the film has grossed $207 million worldwide and won an Academy Award for [[Best Art Direction]], as well as two [[BAFTA]]s for [[BAFTA Award for Best Costume Design|Best Costume Design]] and [[BAFTA Award for Best Production Design|Best Production Design]]. A box office success, ''Sleepy Hollow'' was also a turning point for Burton. Along with the change in his personal life (separation from actress [[Lisa Marie (actress)|Lisa Marie]]), Burton changed radically in style for his next project, leaving the haunted forests and colorful outcasts behind to go on to directing ''[[Planet of the Apes (2001 film)|Planet of the Apes]]'' which, as Burton had repeatedly noted, was "not a remake" of the earlier film.

''Planet of the Apes'' was a commercial success, grossing $68&nbsp;million in its opening weekend and eventually it earned $180 million in North America and $362 million worldwide. The film however has received mixed reviews and is widely considered inferior to [[Planet of the Apes (1968 film)|the first adaptation]] of [[Planet of the Apes (novel)|the novel]]. In 2003, Burton directed ''[[Big Fish]]'', based on the novel ''[[Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions]]'' by [[Daniel Wallace (author)|Daniel Wallace]]. The film is about a father telling the story of his life to his son using exaggeration and color. Starring [[Ewan McGregor]] as young Edward Bloom and [[Albert Finney]] as an older Edward Bloom, the film also stars [[Jessica Lange]], [[Billy Crudup]], [[Danny DeVito]], [[Alison Lohman]] and [[Marion Cotillard]]. ''Big Fish'' received four [[Golden Globe]] nominations as well as an Academy Award nomination for Elfman's score. The film was also the second collaboration between Burton and [[Helena Bonham Carter]], who played the characters of Jenny and the Witch, and Burton and [[Danny DeVito]], who played Amos Calloway the circus ringleader.

Released in 2005, [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'']] is an adaptation of the [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|book of the same name]] by Roald Dahl. Starring Johnny Depp as [[Willy Wonka]], [[Freddie Highmore]] as Charlie Bucket, and [[Deep Roy]] as the [[Oompa-Loompas]], the film generally took a more faithful approach to the source material than the 1971 adaptation, ''[[Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]]'', although some liberties were taken, such as adding Wonka's issue with his father (played by Christopher Lee). ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' was later nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Costume Design]]. The film made over $207&nbsp;million domestically. Filming proved difficult as Burton, Depp, and Danny Elfman had to work on this and Burton's ''[[Corpse Bride]]'' (2005) at the same time, which was Burton's first full-length stop motion film as a director, featuring the voices of Johnny Depp as Victor and Helena Bonham Carter as Emily.

Burton directed his first music video, "[[Bones (The Killers song)|Bones]]", in 2006. "Bones" is the sixth overall single by American indie rock band [[The Killers]] and the second released from their second studio album, ''[[Sam's Town]]''. Starring in this video were actors [[Michael Steger]] and [[Devon Aoki]]. Burton went on to direct a second music video for [[The Killers]], "[[Here with Me (The Killers song)|Here with Me]]", starring Winona Ryder, released in 2012.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2012/12/watch-the-killers-here-with-me-video-directed-by-tim-burton-and-starring-winona-ryder/ |title=Watch The Killers' "Here With Me" video, directed by Tim Burton and starring Winona Ryder |magazine=Consequence of Sound |date=December 14, 2012 |access-date=January 7, 2013}}</ref>

The DreamWorks/Warner Bros. production ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007 film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'', based on [[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street|the 1979 Broadway musical]], was released on December 21, 2007, to critical acclaim and grossed $153 million worldwide. Burton's work on ''Sweeney Todd'' won the [[National Board of Review Award for Best Director]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://imdb.com/name/nm0000318/awards |title=Tim Burton (i)&nbsp;– awards |publisher=Imdb.com |date=May 1, 2009 |access-date=March 12, 2010}}</ref> received a Golden Globe nomination for [[Golden Globe Award for Best Director|Best Director]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://imdb.com/features/rto/2008/globes |title=65th Annual Golden Globe awards |publisher=Imdb.com |date=May 1, 2009 |access-date=March 12, 2010}}</ref> and won an Academy Award for [[Best Art Direction]]. The film blends explicit gore and Broadway tunes and was well received by critics. Johnny Depp's performance as [[Sweeney Todd]] was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]].

In 2005, filmmaker [[Shane Acker]] released his short film ''[[9 (short film)|9]]'', a story about a sentient rag doll living in a post-apocalyptic world who tries to stop machines from destroying the rest of his eight fellow rag dolls. The film won numerous awards and was nominated for an [[Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film]]. After seeing the short film, Tim Burton and [[Timur Bekmambetov]], director of ''[[Wanted (2008 film)|Wanted]]'', showed interest in producing a [[9 (2009 animated film)|feature-length adaptation of the film]]. Directed by Acker, the full-length film was produced by Burton, written by Acker (story) and [[Pamela Pettler]] (screenplay, co-writer of ''[[Corpse Bride]]''), and featured the voice work of [[Elijah Wood]], [[John C. Reilly]], [[Jennifer Connelly]], [[Christopher Plummer]], [[Martin Landau]], and [[Crispin Glover]], among others.

Burton appeared at the 2009 [[San Diego Comic-Con|Comic-Con]] in San Diego, California, to promote both ''9'' and ''[[Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]''; the latter won two Academy Awards, for [[Best Art Direction]] and [[Academy Award for Best Costume Design|Best Costume Design]]. In Burton's version of ''Alice in Wonderland'', the story is set 13 years after the [[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|original]] [[Lewis Carroll]] tales.
