This is my little sissy Lizzy with none other than the Tim Burton at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland.
This is me with him. He even fluffed his hair and put on those famous blue bug-eyed sunglasses for the photo. We told him were just about to go on his ride (he is the creator of Nightmare Before Christmas, among other things) to which he replied, 'It's a good one, isn't it?"
He was very nice.
He was also accompanied by the mother of his two children, the ever recognizable Helena Bonham Carter.
Earlier in the day we were walking right behind a woman with black and white striped tights and crazy hair. Liz said, 'hm, she looks like Helena.' Ms. Bonham Carter is often seen in the tabloids wearing very creative attire. Well, we actually had seen her earlier in the day and had the fortune of seeing her again.
One might ask, "Self, if I'm very famous and want to go to Disneyland, which day would I go." The answer for the Burton - Bonham Carter group is, "the busiest day of the year.' So, we figured they probably took photos all day long and would expect the bother.
I would like to point out that after looking through several other pictures of HBC, she always has that same brown bag. So, I think she might be a reasonable person and doesn't have to make her bag match her shoes.
Quick tidbits on the two: Tim Burton - is from California, was originally a Disney animator but quit because they said his animal renditions looked like road kill, directed one of my favorite movies, 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure,' a few Batman movies, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and is the sole creator of Nightmare Before Christmas.
Helena and he met while filming Planet of the Apes. She has been in tons of things including Harry Potter, Fight Club, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the upcoming live-action/animated/3-d Alice in Wonderland. She is a spokesperson for Duchesne Muscular Dystrophy, has done a domestic violence commercial reading a passage from the Bible, and has two children with Burton.
It was really fun to see them.
