The products of Burton Toys may have been designed for children, but it was the childish adults producing them that made it a special place. It was an environment where educated men could debate the physics behind a Wile E. Coyote cartoon. It was a place where a woman with years of training in literature could celebrate the works of Dr. Seuss and be taken seriously. Burton Toys was the place that all children envisioned working as an adult, and the place where working adults could act like a child.
Burton Toys is an awkward mishmash of heartfelt sincerity and absurd comedy that blends together for a unique reading experience. In the grand tradition of American writing that leans more on imagination than talent, Burton Toys is simply a lot of fun. Little more, but nothing less.
