When my father was introduced to Tim Burton and to his artwork, the word I would use for his initial response was 'tickled.' I remember him telling me about this wonderfully quirky and immensely talented young Disney animator, who had created a short film about a young boy who wants to grow up to be Vincent Price. My dad loved everything about it–the quality and originality of the pen-and-ink drawings, the Poe-like verse, and, of course, the recognition of his influence on Tim's (and by proxy other fans') childhoods. He was flattered, bemused, intrigued, touched, and excited! In a way, Tim's project brought together many of the most important parts of my dad's life–art, horror, humor, poetry–and gave them back to him in the most fitting tribute anyone could have paid. My dad knew it, and he was both moved and grateful.
