Vincent is a 1982 short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton. It is a stop-motion tale set to a poem written by Burton. At around only six minutes in length, there is currently no individual release of the film, although it can be found on The Nightmare Before Christmas
DVD as an extra.

The film was narrated by Vincent Price, a life-long idol and inspiration for Burton. From this relationship, Price would go on to appear in Burton's Edward Scissorhands
.

The movie will be adapted into a live version by Benjamin Lemaire in 2006.

Plot

Vincent is the story of a young boy, Vincent Malloy, who wants to be like the actor Vincent Price. He is obsessed with the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is his detachment from reality when reading them that leads to his delusions that he is in fact a tortured artist, deprived of the woman he loves, mirroring very much certain parts of Poe's The Raven. The film ends with Vincent being tortured by the goings-on of his make-believe world, quoting The Raven as he falls to the floor in frailty, believing himself to be dead.
