The Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi, Tokyo, will host the exhibition "The World of Tim Burton." The exhibition runs from November 1st to January 4th. Tim Burton is a popular film director known for his "slightly sarcastic yet warm" style, known for films like "Edward Scissorhands," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and "The Nightmare Before Christmas." This exhibition features approximately 500 of his works, including sketches, drawings, photographs, and objects, making their Japan debut. Of particular note are the vast number of sketches he produced as a child. Known for expressing the worldview of his films through sketches, he has used illustrations as a means of communication since childhood. In addition to rare materials that touch upon the origins of his work, the exhibition also features must-see exhibits for fans, including plans for failed projects and treasured footage he shot on an 8mm camera as a teenager.
