Rob, how tall would you say Henry Selick, director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, looks with Burton?
Actually, that’s interesting, Tim Burton is associated with that film so much, many forget he didn’t direct it!

I'm surprised at this listing, I've always assumed he was 5'9 to 5'10, he doesn't have the best posture that must be it

Is it possible that he is now 5'10.75 due to him being 58 years old?
Or is he still 5 feet and 11 inches?

At minimum I see Tim at 179 cm, he could be close to 182 or 183 at peak but I'd say nowadays that 181 cm should be peak at near 60.

He has a long torso, so he appears to be a lot shorter than he actually is.
Peak:
Out of bed-5'11 3/4"
Before bed: 5'10 1/2"
Today:
Out of bed-5'11 1/4"
Before bed-5'10"
He likely loses 3 CM of height throughout the day.

The picture doesn't do him justice. I've seen 5'8 guys look taller in photos.

He doesn't look very tall in the picture. Nothing close to how a 5'11 man would look.

Think I've read six foot claims for him in the past but yeah he looks a couple inches taller than Johnny Depp, but no more than that really.
