The Nightmare Before Christmas Director Henry Selick Is Bummed Tim Burton Gets All the Credit
. And in a new interview, the director discussed his disappointment with how Disney marketed the film as Burton’s and not his.. “And I would have been fine with that, if that’s what I signed up for. But Tim was in L.A. making two features while I directed that film, and I mean, Tim is a genius—or he certainly was in his most creative years. I always thought his story was perfect, and he designed the main characters. But it was really me and my team of people who brought that to life.
