Burton's "Edward Scissorhands." Nearly unrecognizable in the latter with the disfigured pale visage, jet-black mad-scientist coif and fetishistic leather garb, he instantly made us forget about Tom Hanson from "21 Jump Street."

A key to the duo's successful partnership is the fact that it has evolved over time.

Depp was gradually establishing himself as a bankable leading man. With "Sleepy Hollow," the pair tackled Washington Irving's American Gothic classic.

A-Z of Cult Film-Makers. Steven Paul Davies

'Completely anarchic and grotesque ..'

'..Burton could easily have opted for a life of big-budget Hollywood blockbusters but instead he carried on as a maverick, making the surreal christmas fable Edward Scissorhands, full of mythic fairy-tale romance with deeply moving performances by Johnny Depp and Dianne West.'

'Depp then featured in Burton's Sleepy Hollow...'

'...Burton has, up until now, always made the films that pleased him and not Hollywood financers and it's this that pleases his faithful audience.'
