Vincent (1982)
Vincent (1982) is a stop-motion animated short film, written, designed, and directed by Tim Burton and produced by Rick Heinrichs. However, there are only a few bootleg releases available for individual viewing. The narration is done by the iconic actor Vincent Price, who has been a lifelong idol and source of inspiration for Burton. Their collaboration also continued in Edward Scissorhands. In fact, Price himself stated that his involvement in Vincent was the most satisfying experience he had ever had and it felt like immortality – even better than having a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
Vincent is a rhyming verse story about 7-year-old Vincent Malloy and his obsession with actor Vincent Price. He experiments on his dog Abercrombie in hopes of creating a zombie version, inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. As he loses touch with reality while reading Poe’s tales, he begins to believe he is a tortured artist and mad scientist, echoing themes from The Raven. The film concludes with Vincent expressing fear and quoting from The Raven as he collapses, convinced of his own demise due to his immersive imagination.
