Most Adorable Commercial Ever? Tim Burton's MoMA Spot

Some might say it's too early to have a career retrospective for Tim Burton, which the Museum of Modern Art in NYC will be hosting from November 22, 2009 to April 26, 2010, but I say, "Bring it on!" The more Tim, the better. And naturally, the commercial promoting this must-see exhibition is directed by Burton and scored by his longtime collaborator Danny Elfman.

The exhibition will include Burton's sketches, films, a book signing, and a special film series called "Tim Burton and the Lurid Beauty of Monsters" "that have influenced, inspired, and intrigued Burton, and which reflect the motifs, themes, and sensibilities of his work."

For more info on the exhibit, go to the official MoMa website. Meanwhile, you can check out the commercial after the jump, or read some previous goodies on Mr. Burton, like this gallery of Tim Burton art, an interview with him at Comic-Con, and the extended trailer for Alice in Wonderland.

Tim's movies are like a tangent into another dimension, a clearer dimension, away from regional social stigmas.

If it's anything like their Pixar exhibit a couple years ago, it will be awesome. My sister and I went to that one and were thrilled by all of the media utilized. They really go all out at that museum when they have these special exhibits.

I went to the Museam website and didn't see anything about a book signing. Does anyone know more about this?
