Tim Burton was not involved in Coraline, and yet I felt there was a similar visual style to it that people have accredited as being a primarily Burton-esque vision. At the very least its a collaboration and should be recognized as such! Point is, he is a great talent and I want to be able to attribute and discern his style over others, particularly when the general public is mistaken about his prior achievements... give props where props are due. That's all I'm saying.

When I think Tim Burton I don't think of directing. I think of a mood, a style - something much more the result of art direction and writing. In an animated movie this is even more true - directing the voice acting and overseeing the animated are two very different jobs and it's not at all like directing a live action film. In any case when a movie has someone's name on it it doesn't imply anything about their role in the movie. All it implies is that they were involved in some way and have a bankable name. And let's be honest, whatever Tim's role might be, when you hear he's involved you pretty much know what to expect. I don't see a major discontinuity in the final product of his live and animated projects, despite any change in roles or involvement he might have had. I wonder what the book is like.
