Tim Burton has become known for mixing fantasy, horror, and gothic elements with drama and comedy in his movies, and while some of them have relied on music as part of the story, some of his projects almost became stage musicals, but ultimately never did. Tim Burton's career as a filmmaker began in 1985 with Pee-wee's Big Adventure, after which he brought a more sinister yet fun story in Beetlejuice, which was more fitting with his unique visual style and gave the audience a clearer idea of what to expect from his works.
