Tim Burton is airing out his issues with Disney.
During a recent press conference, Burton criticized Disney for becoming "very homogenized" and said that the studio is only focused on the Marvel, "Star Wars" or Pixar films.
Burton also admitted he was "fired" by the studio several times throughout his career.
"My history is that I started out there," Burton said. "I was hired and fired like several times throughout my career there. The thing about 'Dumbo' is that’s why I think my days with Disney are done. I realized that I was Dumbo, that I was working in this horrible, big circus and I needed to escape. That movie is quite autobiographical at a certain level."
A representative for Disney did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
A crisis and PR expert explained to Fox News Digital that the studio's consumers and customers likely aren't concerned about who will or won't work with Disney.
"Disney has weathered its share of crises, and it will continue to," said Dave Quast, senior vice president of Red Banyan.
"Disney’s customers are likely much more concerned about whether their kids enjoy Disney movies and whether they can afford to take their kids to theme parks with sky-high ticket prices than they are about movie studio 'inside baseball.'"
