Personal Quote:

It is unfortunate that Disney closed down its drawn-animation unit. I find it quite upsetting, because they made a few drawn movies that weren't successful and they went, `Well, that is dead, so we have to go to computers.' They forget that the reason that they have been successful is because Pixar [whose films Disney distributes] makes good movies... See more »

Trivia:

Bought the rights to a Topps trading card series with the intention of turning it into a film, but couldn't decide between calling it "Dinosaurs Attack!" and "Mars Attacks!". Jurassic Park then came out, and to avoid comparison, he made it as Mars Attacks! instead, but then it faced comparison to Independence Day. See more »

Trademark:

Often does the beginning credits sequence with the camera going through something ( Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands or following something ( Batman Returns, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street). See more »
