It's not just Burton or Selick's film. But everyone who worked on it, it's their film as well. People need to stop thinking of only writers, actors, directors, producers etc...You gotta think of all the other people behind the scenes that make a movie possible. Costume designers, camera operators, people who sit their for days and days making these clay figures for the stop motion. Without all these other people, the movie would not be possible. Everybody who worked on it, it's all theirs.
The big reason Burton's name was used for the promotion, was because he is a big time filmmaker, with at the time, 5 very successful films under his belt (Pee-Wee's, Beetlejuice, Batman, Scissorhands and Returns). You put his name on the poster, people will flock to see it, and which case, will earn more money. Know what I'm trying to say? They call Hollywood a business for a reason. The bigger the name, the more money they potentially make.

Yes and no. Yes, because they do play a big part in making a movie
But no, because at the end of the day, they don't have final say in anything. If the director didn't like a particular scene, they have to do it again. If the costume isn't right, they have to fix it. If the backdrop is the wrong color, they have to repaint it.
Let's be bad guys.
