A tribute to the surf movies of the early 60's with some touches of visual surrealism.
Direction
Burton's visual instincts already fully formed, chaotic and precise.
Practical Effects
Glorious handmade surrealism on presumably zero budget.
Director
Tim Burton
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Burton and Jerry Rees made this at CalArts; Rees later directed The Brave Little Toaster, proving animation careers are unhinged.
This is Burton's earliest surviving film—Pee-wee's Big Adventure's visual DNA is already here in lo-fi 16mm glory.
