Tim Burton's first film for kids introduces this country to initially remote city (8)
I believe the answer is:
timbuktu
'initially remote city' is the definition.
'Timbuktu' can be an answer for 'city' (Timbuktu is an example). I am not certain of the 'initially remote' bit.
'tim burton's first film for kids introduces this country' is the wordplay.
'burton's first' becomes 'b' (tst letter of 'burton').
'film for kids' becomes 'tu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'introduces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'this country' becomes 'UK' (United Kingdom).
'b'+'tu'='btu'
'btu' enclosing 'uk' is 'buktu'.
'tim'+'buktu'='TIMBUKTU'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for timbuktu that I've seen before include "Malian desert town" , "Desert city in Mali" , "Town in Mali used as a metaphor for a distant place" , "Saharan town in Mali" , "Town in nine ac fabled for its remoteness" .)
