The link above is a site about how Tim Burton was influenced by 'Gothic' and 'German Expressionist ' pictures and movies. It speaks about how the short movie Vincent reflects the clearest and most extreme example of this style.

"Burton's other films are a combination of this gothic expressionism on the one hand, and cartoonish, bright colors on the other."


This quote from the site links in with Edward Scissorhands.
The "Pastel Suburbia" town where the story is set contrasts with the gothic mansion where Edward lives and where we meet and leave him in, in the film.
This shows the difference of each world in just one town.
