Vincent is a 1982 stop-motion short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs. At approximately six minutes in length, there is currently no individual release of the film. It can be found on the Special Edition DVD of The Nightmare Before Christmas as a bonus feature.
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. Vincent Price later said that the film was "the most gratifying thing that ever happened. It was immortality - better than a star on Hollywood Boulevard."
The Saturn Sandworm seen later in Beetle Juice (1988) and Nightmare Before Christmas, The (1993) first appears in this short film.
The Dog's Frankenstein Monster-like make-up seen later in Frankenweenie (1984).
Included on Special Edition DVD of Nightmare Before Christmas, The (1993).
When Vincent Price (I) was asked what he thought of the short, he said that it was "the most gratifying thing that ever happened. It was immortality - better than a star on Hollywood Boulevard."
An early form of Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas, The (1993) can be seen in the upper-left corner of the screen at 4:45.
