This should be remade by Burton. A story about a kid obsessed with the macabre whose imagination is so vivid, it is hard for the kid to determine which is real and which is fantasy. By God, Burton, make this a full-length movie!
Necro bump. This is a subjective piece, it's not a linear story thank god. How mundane would that be. Draw from it your own emotions. So much more special
I love the mom scenes. When Vincent is talking to himself and looks like hes about to spiral into madness and insanity, his mom cuts him off and tells him to play outside.
+The Cyan Squeegee If anything they overuse it. Nothing against Tim Burton, but sometimes t seems like Disney uses him just to have his name attatched to a project...Like Dumbo.
I'm basically in the early stages of a Tim Burton obsession and will watch everything he has made, all his interviews and basically study the life of this genius.
The good old days, before the destruction of society, when you would go out and buy VHS, have to rewind them all the way back, examine the cases. Good times.
I can just imagine the look on Tim's face when his idol agreed to read his story aloud for this. totally a dream come true twice cause Vincent was the inventor in Edward scissorhands.
Fun fact Vincent Price was also originally gonna voice Santa in The Nightmare Before Christmas however due to his poor health after the death of his wife he was unable to play the part.
When Vincent Price was asked what he thought of the short, he said that it was "the most gratifying thing that ever happened. It was immortality - better than a star on Hollywood Boulevard."
He sounded like he was laughing and enjoying himself during the narration. Made me smile. Imagine narrating an animation of yourself and reading « you’re not Vincent price » and explaining how deranged he is as if it’s not You 🤣 I would be laughing too
+Vincent Maliga The story was about the kid wanting to be like the narrator. So it is not weird at all since it is intentional. At least I think it is not.
even if it had nothing to do with him thats where they got their idea is from tim burtons films so im sure the makers of coraline looked at stuff they can use for the coraline film..
Vincent Malloy is seven years old He’s always polite and does what he’s told For a boy his age, he’s considerate and nice But he wants to be just like Vincent Price He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cats Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie So he and his horrible zombie dog Could go searching for victims in the London fog His thoughts, though, aren’t only of ghoulish crimes He likes to paint and read to pass some of the times While other kids read books like Go, Jane, Go! Vincent’s favourite author is Edgar Allen Poe One night, while reading a gruesome tale He read a passage that made him turn pale Such horrible news he could not survive For his beautiful wife had been buried alive! He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead Unaware that her grave was his mother’s flower bed His mother sent Vincent off to his room He knew he’d been banished to the tower of doom Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life Alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife While alone and insane encased in his tomb Vincent’s mother burst suddenly into the room She said: “If you want to, you can go out and play It’s sunny outside, and a beautiful day” Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn’t speak The years of isolation had made him quite weak So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen: “I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again” His mother said: “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead These games that you play are all in your head You’re not Vincent Price, you’re Vincent Malloy You’re not tormented or insane, you’re just a young boy You’re seven years old and you are my son I want you to get outside and have some real fun. ”Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall The room started to swell, to shiver and creak His horrid insanity had reached its peak He saw Abercrombie, his zombie slave And heard his wife call from beyond the grave She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands While, through cracking walls, reached skeleton hands Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams! To escape the madness, he reached for the door But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor His voice was soft and very slow As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe: “and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted? Nevermore…”
This is so beautiful and wonderful. I love how he gets so intense in his fantasies and then his mom disrupts him and is like "go play like a normal child" 😂
Have you tried not talking about their rack? The dissrespect feels like an attack. Or maybe you've just been to selfish and forward, talking about only you and the size of your "sword". Maybe she was sleeping while you far to busy, creeping. Now she has lost interest...you lost her at "incest". It's time you moved on, there's more fish in the sea, though perhaps this time don't send pictures of your D.
@Dmitry The Kebob Remover Hit a button did we? Specifically about sending pictures of your D. Well you're two months, to late. Try again in the next life.
The majestic tale of emotional neglect and dissociation of a young child, in my opinion. There is always a Vincent around us and most of the time, it is us.
"For a boy his age, he's considerate and nice. But he wants to be just like Vincent Price!" If he's considerate and nice, then he's _already_ just like Vincent Price.
As a kid, I was always fascinated by this video very specifically. I liked The Nightmare before Christmas, of course, but I loved Vincent's story. I found some kinship in his character, character that was also based on Vincent Price. I always was fascinated with the strange, the sinister and the obscure, it never left me.
its not sad, this is all an exaggeration in vincent's head. his mother send him to his room, and he says that he was banned to the inescapable tower, etc. hes just an edgy imaginative kid
It's ironically sombre, because it's all just play, but really gruesome dark play with no friends around. The sadness, if there is any, is that Vincent is a child out of time - he's the wrong age group for the things he enjoys, doesn't properly contextualize the meaning of his favourite milieu, because of his lack of life experience (his 'beautiful wife' existed in his mind only to be a victim, so as to engender more pain; no sense of relationship or person at all) - and the ultimate tragedy is that Vincent seems to actively reject the company of others (and sunlight) in order to continue his favourite game. But, outside of the game, after The End, it's Mum who will restore universal order. There's actually a really beautiful and uplifting lesson in this film.
I still believe that when the narrator said that Vincent did experiments on his dog, To be honest, I kind of think that that’s what inspired Frankenweenie😂😂❤❤
After all these years I still love this so much. I was a lot like Vincent as a child, I was very dramatic and had a very active imagination.And I loved reading Edgar Allen Poe also.
Then you might know that the Ravens football team was named after the Raven. When the former owner moved his team to Baltimore he renamed them that because Baltimore is where Poe is buried
Try and try again as I might I cannot relieve my soul from my fright Tim always manages through the years To bring out my own personal fears * Mad I might not be as Vincent once was But unsure I am of what I could become And that uncertainty exists simply because I got many of my own terrors to overcome * This retable tale of a boy with years less than my age Keeps reminding me to stay forever on my guard For until I meet my own graveyard I might succumb to my own personal rage -Carmela Pedinni
Jeez kid calm down, Vincent Price is awesome, but I mean, wow. Anyway, love how it references every practically every single movie Price had been in, House of Wax, The Last Man on Earth, tons of Edgar Allan Poe based film. Love it XD
What a great little piece, Tim Burton must have been a static when Vincent Price became the narrator. Tim Burton has made so many great movies and with the magic of Johnny Depp.
This is such a brilliant imagination, an edgy approach that stands the test of time. To this day nobody was able to outshine his genius. Too bad, it's been such a long time. I wish I could see more of this art.
Use of colour and Lighting (Vincent): Tim Burton's Vincent uses the stark black and white colour scheme to emphasise the character’s internal journey. As Vincent’s character moves from brighter scenes to darker ones with more pronounced shadows, it can be seen as a metaphor for the transition from innocence to a more complex, troubled, state of awareness that comes with growing up. The evolving of lighting reflects Vincent’s changing understanding of the world around him.
I can't believe I just found out this existed. Absolutely amazing, beautiful, heartbreaking and bleak. I loved every minute. Tim Burton is a master and Vincent Price is a legend.💀💀💀
Tim Burton us honestly one of my greatest inspirations for art. I love creepy art, I love the shock factor that can be achieved through art/storytelling, it's amazing!
I do too I found a DVD at the dollar store with "the last man on Earth" one of my favorites of his. It's in Black and White but if you love his work you won't care.
37 years ago, and Tim Burton could have stopped there, with this movie short. It’s basically the same plot as every film he’s made since. Edward Scissorhands. Batman. The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sweeney Todd. The list goes on.... damaged child misunderstood by the world. Don’t get me wrong, the guy’s a genius. But d-a-r-k !! And that’s why us freaks love him(!) I WAS Vincent as a child. And I still am, in the deepest part of my heart. I used to think people disliked me because they didn’t understand me. Now I suspect it’s because they DO understand me, and wish they didn’t..... The ending to this particular tale is disturbing. The boy succumbs to madness. And don’t tell me, ‘it’s all in his head’ because that’s kind of the whole point of insanity. I get that this is just a story. Honestly I do. But spare a thought for that poor seven year old boy, who’s soul shall be lifted ‘nevermore’
Holy shit Who would've thought that TIm Burton's first work would basically be one long roast of suburban goth kids, or in other words, his future core fanbase
@livingwithautism3789 Are you a real person? I've noticed you commented 83 times on this one video, almost always with an incomplete quote of the original comment? I don't know why but this is extremely interesting to me. I am also autistic, probably why I even noticed.
I remember the first time seeing this. I was in art class and my teacher wanted us to see it. It creeped me out the first time, but now I kind of appreciate it more.
Lol my son is exactly like this. Maybe it was my horrible obsession with Edgar Allan Poe while I was pregnant with him lol. Been coming to this page for years I had to have put at least a million dents on this vid. 😍😘👌🏼
SUCH AWESOME STORIES! Burton makes amazing tales that scare and inspire me. What is ironic is, I like creepy stories that are appropriate but I HATE horror movies and urban myths
Vincent Price’s enunciation is so good that the auto-generated captions from UA-cam are mostly accurate, which is impressive cause this audio is old and a little fuzzy.
It’s so cool to see early works of artists. Little conflict with producers etc. and we can really see their minds run wild on their canvas. It’s art at its purest form.
I remember my first time seeing this. It was a bonus feature in the Nightmare Before Christmas collector set, and I was instantly in love with this short film. I memorized the entire thing word for word and told it to my friends, to their delight. Was a good film then, still is now
I'm reading a book that he wrote about himself .Burton on Burton. Anyway, he said he just likes using the same imagery. Like cemetery's, skulls even line patterns and such. He is brilliant! Freaking amazing. Love his work! I am into the same kind of art and understand the way he thinks (on some levels)
This was the most creative and also the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. One thing (among many) I love about this film is that it was obviously an homage to Vincent price. But then Tim was able to actually get Vincent to narrate his film. 👏🥰
so I've notice: the sand monster from beetle juice 1, the dog from frankinweenie, the corpse bride (dead wife), and the cat from coraline. Am I missing any?
The Frankenweenie dog has popped by many times, mainly in Tim's short lived animated series 'Family Dog' The cat returned in NBC, but did appear in Selciks Coraline too. Dead wives were common in Poe stories which is what that passage of the poem is all about. BUT don't forget Vincent himself, He appears in the Beetlejuice cartoon as 'Prince Vince' and his refered to in The Corpse bride, even both Victors look a bit like him (Victor from Corpse bride and victor Frankenstein from Frankenweenie.)
This is most likely what Tim Burton's childhood was like.
what narrated by vincent price lol
Yes, Pretty much
Yep it probably is
shuan sown
Exactly what I thought.
cry me a river@@AHHHHHHHHHHHHl
This should be remade by Burton. A story about a kid obsessed with the macabre whose imagination is so vivid, it is hard for the kid to determine which is real and which is fantasy. By God, Burton, make this a full-length movie!

At least someone did and we got one of the greatest Batman movies ever.
It's all Edgar Allan Poe's stories in one short fiilm create by Tim Burton.
It's more like all of Vincent Price's film roles put together, though he did do a lot of movies based on Edgar Allen Poe.

Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He’s always polite and does what he’s told
For a boy his age, he’s considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price
He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cats
Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats
There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented
And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented
Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum
He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
So he and his horrible zombie dog
Could go searching for victims in the London fog
His thoughts, though, aren’t only of ghoulish crimes
He likes to paint and read to pass some of the times
While other kids read books like Go, Jane, Go!
Vincent’s favourite author is Edgar Allen Poe
One night, while reading a gruesome tale
He read a passage that made him turn pale
Such horrible news he could not survive
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive!
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
Unaware that her grave was his mother’s flower bed
His mother sent Vincent off to his room
He knew he’d been banished to the tower of doom
Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
Alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife
While alone and insane encased in his tomb
Vincent’s mother burst suddenly into the room
She said: “If you want to, you can go out and play
It’s sunny outside, and a beautiful day”
Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn’t speak
The years of isolation had made him quite weak
So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen:
“I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again”
His mother said: “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead
These games that you play are all in your head
You’re not Vincent Price, you’re Vincent Malloy
You’re not tormented or insane, you’re just a young boy
You’re seven years old and you are my son
I want you to get outside and have some real fun.
”Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall
The room started to swell, to shiver and creak
His horrid insanity had reached its peak
He saw Abercrombie, his zombie slave
And heard his wife call from beyond the grave
She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands
While, through cracking walls, reached skeleton hands
Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams!
To escape the madness, he reached for the door
But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor
His voice was soft and very slow
As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe:
“and my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted?
Nevermore…”

I really enjoy this. Tim Burton is just awesome.
I saw this as a child and as a 24 year old in 2016, this short still terrifies me to this day. Tim Burton's REAL breakthrough film.

“He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead" XD i love Tim Burton's humour
Tim Burton us honestly one of my greatest inspirations for art. I love creepy art, I love the shock factor that can be achieved through art/storytelling, it's amazing!

I love Vincent Price.
I do too I found a DVD at the dollar store with "the last man on Earth" one of my favorites of his. It's in Black and White but if you love his work you won't care.
You my dear have excellent taste
Tim is a genius. The poetry, the animation, the plot, it all so beautiful.

37 years ago, and Tim Burton could have stopped there, with this movie short. It’s basically the same plot as every film he’s made since. Edward Scissorhands. Batman. The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sweeney Todd. The list goes on.... damaged child misunderstood by the world. Don’t get me wrong, the guy’s a genius. But d-a-r-k !! And that’s why us freaks love him(!) I WAS Vincent as a child. And I still am, in the deepest part of my heart. I used to think people disliked me because they didn’t understand me. Now I suspect it’s because they DO understand me, and wish they didn’t..... The ending to this particular tale is disturbing. The boy succumbs to madness. And don’t tell me, ‘it’s all in his head’ because that’s kind of the whole point of insanity. I get that this is just a story. Honestly I do. But spare a thought for that poor seven year old boy, who’s soul shall be lifted ‘nevermore’
Now this is what I would call a masterpiece, well done Tim Burton 😊

Holy shit Who would've thought that TIm Burton's first work would basically be one long roast of suburban goth kids, or in other words, his future core fanbase

@livingwithautism3789 Are you a real person? I've noticed you commented 83 times on this one video, almost always with an incomplete quote of the original comment? I don't know why but this is extremely interesting to me. I am also autistic, probably why I even noticed.
I remember the first time seeing this. I was in art class and my teacher wanted us to see it. It creeped me out the first time, but now I kind of appreciate it more.

Tim Burton sounds like the sort of person who has an Edgar Allan Poe body pillow and has Edward Gory themed Pajamas.
Lol my son is exactly like this. Maybe it was my horrible obsession with Edgar Allan Poe while I was pregnant with him lol. Been coming to this page for years I had to have put at least a million dents on this vid. 😍😘👌🏼
Tim burton: the spooky Dr. Seuss
SUCH AWESOME STORIES! Burton makes amazing tales that scare and inspire me. What is ironic is, I like creepy stories that are appropriate but I HATE horror movies and urban myths

Tim burton will forever have a special place in my heart. X
How should I say it....Tim Burton is GOD! ^o^
Agreed
Nearly 400 people need to be a part of Vincent's wax museum.
i love this freakin it made me cry a lil bit
I love this man's vision!
Vincent Price’s enunciation is so good that the auto-generated captions from UA-cam are mostly accurate, which is impressive cause this audio is old and a little fuzzy.
Tim Burton's autobiography
I love the opening where it’s peace and quiet and Vincent plays the flute.
Watching this since I was young, Tim burton will always be my idol

It’s so cool to see early works of artists. Little conflict with producers etc. and we can really see their minds run wild on their canvas. It’s art at its purest form.

I love this story, It's so beautiful.
I remember my first time seeing this. It was a bonus feature in the Nightmare Before Christmas collector set, and I was instantly in love with this short film. I memorized the entire thing word for word and told it to my friends, to their delight. Was a good film then, still is now

My name is Vincent. Are we all mad ? o__O
We're all mad here...
Monika Z :/
Lol
Wait a minuet my name is vincent hodges 0-0
In a mad world, it's madness to be sane.
Tomorrow is Christmas? To hell with that. Here's Vincent.
I'm reading a book that he wrote about himself .Burton on Burton. Anyway, he said he just likes using the same imagery. Like cemetery's, skulls even line patterns and such. He is brilliant! Freaking amazing. Love his work! I am into the same kind of art and understand the way he thinks (on some levels)

This was the most creative and also the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. One thing (among many) I love about this film is that it was obviously an homage to Vincent price. But then Tim was able to actually get Vincent to narrate his film. 👏🥰
I'm pretty sure this is my biography
same
Yup. 7 years old and reading the tell tale heart.
Such a magnificent short film! Really wish I knew more of these kinds of shorts!

so I've notice: the sand monster from beetle juice 1, the dog from frankinweenie, the corpse bride (dead wife), and the cat from coraline. Am I missing any?
jack skellington at 5:25
Coraline isn't produced or directed by Tim Burton. It was created by Henry Selick. Who has similar taste in animation.
In Corpse Bride, Victor's dog Scraps meets a dog that looks a lot like Abercrombie
The Frankenweenie dog has popped by many times, mainly in Tim's short lived animated series 'Family Dog' The cat returned in NBC, but did appear in Selciks Coraline too. Dead wives were common in Poe stories which is what that passage of the poem is all about. BUT don't forget Vincent himself, He appears in the Beetlejuice cartoon as 'Prince Vince' and his refered to in The Corpse bride, even both Victors look a bit like him (Victor from Corpse bride and victor Frankenstein from Frankenweenie.)
KiWiProductions I know it's not Burton but 5:43 is a reference to Edgar Allan poes the raven
I had no idea one of the Chiodo brothers (Killer Klowns from Outer Space - 1988) worked with Tim on this! That's so cool! 😸👍
I think Edgar Allen Poe would've loved this animation
God I love stop motion
me too specially tim burton projects
