Anyone out there know how Burton got this film funded? He's was a young filmmaker, he couldnt just go and ask Disney for money to make it. Obviously by watching this film we all see that its his kind of style, (so its not reused sets) he must of had some kind of budget in order to make it. In the trivia section it says he got fired for this film, then it couldnt be from Disney 'cause in order to get some kind of funding he had to pitch the project, if they knew what was to come they wouldnt agreed to budget the film. So its not from disney, anyone out there know?

Well, when you are as creative as Burton a set souch as this wouldn't of been that difficult to make. The budget you can tell was extremely low. He mas of been using equipment that wasn't supossed to be used for personal reasons.
