The nightmare before Christmas should absolutely be named a Tim Burton movie. The concept of this movie was Tim’s to begin with he just had other people help him make his dream a reality. If they didn’t give Tim the credit he deserved then it would be a form of plagiarism. It’s just like an athlete writing a book, they didn’t actually write the book themselves they had one or even a team of authors help them do it but it is still called their book. Another reason they named it a Tim Burton movie was probably strictly for publicity. Many people will go to see a Tim Burton movie just because he was the one who made it, no one would go see a movie by someone they‘ve never heard before. Yes, Tim’s name was put on the cover of this movie even though it wasn’t directed by him, but the people who helped out in the movie still got the credit for what they did; they were all recognized in the credits and got paid so I don’t see why it is such a big deal to everyone. Putting Tim Burton’s name on the movie was the correct thing to do.

I'm not so sure about your plagiarism argument. If Burton's name is in the credits, like the director and art director are, how is that still plagiarism?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's considered bad form to use an artist's first name (Tim) by itself. More accepted is to use the artist's last name (Burton) by itself.
