BATMAN RETURNS miniature and prop effects 

Wow this is some more amazing footage and interviews! I was one of the Special FX artists on this movie too, I helped create all of the armor, missiles, and weapons for the penguin army! And I saw my buddy Jim Towler, who I work with at Walt Disney Imagineering, in this video a bunch! He did some of the miniatures too! This is great footage, so fun to see! Thank you for sharing this! Cheers😄👍

Tim Burton's use of Gotham as an atmospheric & dramatic backdrop was fantastic &inspired. No other director of any Batman movie seems to have considered this idea at all , simply using downtown Toronto or Vancouver as a half thought out lackluster Gotham. Gotham's oppressive nature is responsible for the existence of Batman in the first place , & Tim Burton should be remembered for making the city itself a character in his movie.

After watching a bunch of these amazing clips, I’m starting to think that very little of most movies *isn’t* done with miniatures. The environmental city- and landscapes are just incredible. And I had no idea how extensively they were implemented for scenes I just assumed were actual locations somewhere. Very cool.

These video interviews are great! One of the best channels on pooptube!😄

You all did great work. I had no idea what, if anything was of miniature design.

These clips are fantastic! I enjoy model making and the practical special effects field .

Isn't it amazing to know something you made is now a part of someone's childhood memories?

The still around 2:57 of the beauty contestant, is one of the most wickedly clever vfx shots ever done. No projection or blue screen or digital. They just rolled her down a track towards a model and blew wind on her hair. But it's just great looking.

Superb miniature work.

I was 10 years old when I saw this is the theater. Amazing movie. Awesome to see that narrow batmobile. Michelle Pfeiffer will always be the best cat woman.

The claws shot looks fantastic. He seems like a nice guy, but wow that is quite alternative thinking.

The art direction in this movie looks very much like BTAS.

If I had a casting of Michelle pfifers hand, making claws for it, wouldn’t be my first thought ;) hehe

I've seen this movie so many time but the whole time everything was small 🤣 lol this movie fooled the hell outta me

Did the Bat Mobile Model have Scsle Batman model puppets innthe Driver Seat

I thought bthe Zoo miniature wasnt too good to be honest, coulda done with some smoke atmosphere.

I introduced my kiddo the Batman series, starting with the Tim Burton series. He loves this video of the models. Thanks for the content; please keep the videos coming. I love to see those who craft a world & build the realism through the models created, used, and sometime destroyed for the magic of movie making. Thank you for the videos.
