What is the running time of Tim Burton’s 1982 short film Vincent?

Tim Burton’s 1982 short film Vincent has a running time of about six minutes.

The stop-motion-inspired black-and-white short follows Vincent Malloy, a young boy who imagines himself to be actor Vincent Price and fantasizes about Gothic horrors. The film is narrated by Price, whose voice gives the poem a distinctive theatrical tone.

Burton made Vincent while working at Walt Disney Productions. Its rhyming narration was written by Burton, and the short helped reveal the visual and thematic interests that later appeared in his feature films: macabre humor, misunderstood outsiders, expressive shadows, and affection for classic horror.

Because Vincent is a short film rather than a theatrical feature, listings may round its duration slightly differently. Reference sources commonly give approximately six minutes. It is also sometimes confused with Frankenweenie, another early Burton project that began as a live-action short and later became a feature-length stop-motion film.
