Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box

Filed under: Art

December marks 25 years of collaboration between music composer Danny Elfman and film director Tim Burton. The two first worked together on Burton's movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure in 1985 and were fast friends from then on, with Elfman composing the music for all but two of Burton's projects since then. Among Elfman's most famous works are the scores to Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, and Alice in Wonderland.

In celebration of this iconic friendship Warner Bros is releasing a 25th Anniversary Music Box that contains more than 19 hours of music including fan-requested expansions of famous soundtracks and previously unreleased music. The package also includes CD art by Burton, a USB flash drive with MP3s of all the songs, and a DVD featuring an exclusive conversation between Burton and Elfman. The music box will be released this December in a limited edition of 1000 numbered units. $499.99

Director Tim Burton is known for his fantastical view of the world showcased in movies like Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks, Sweeney Todd and many other films. His distinctive screen style, equal parts creepy and whimsical, bizarre and sentimental, is the end result of a deeply inventive imagination. Burton will bring a different kind of creative output to New York's Museum of Modern Art this fall. Burton's artistic efforts including drawings, storyboards, costumes, puppets and paintings, some related to his movies and others related to non-film projects. The exhibit of more than 700 pieces was organized by Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, and Jenny He, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Film, with Rajendra Roy, the Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film. The Tim Burton retrospective will run from November 22 through April 26, 2010.
