This limited edition Elfman & Burton Music Box was made in celebration of the dynamic duo's 25th anniversary of working together. Tim Burton affirms that indeed the collector's chest is big enough to fit a human head, containing the melodic stylings of 13 Danny Elfman original scores that have graced the skewed screen of the dark director's films.

With Burton's artwork, a DVD and 16 CDs featuring 19 hours of music, the Elfman & Burton Music Box is an anomalous anthology of magical melodies that would be anything but a nightmare of a Christmas gift.
