“At age eleven I worked at Disneyland. I sold guidebooks at the park from 1956 to about 1958. I am as positive as one can be that I appear about 20:20 into your film, low in the frame, dressed in a top hat, vest, and striped pink shirt, moving from left to right, holding a guidebook out for sale.”

“Tim Burton worked on the film “Fox and the Hound” and wanted to kill himself because he hated drawing a girl fox all day. When he was working there he began conceptualizing Nightmare Before Christmas and the drawings he drew, therefore, belonged to the Disney corporation.”

Not exactly… he worked a development deal with Disney, it’s not like they claimed the intellectual property rights to his movie. He was able to get it released on Touchstone because of his relationships @ Disney and their interest in his concept. Your insinuation is that Disney somehow “took” the movie from him… not really. It was definitely a mutually beneficial relationship.
