There's
an interesting article on SCI FI Wire today about Tim Burton's upcoming stop-motion feature remake of his old short film
Frankenweenie. Among other things, we learn that Burton is personally designing the film, taking on a more direct role than he did in previous animated features like
The Corpse Bride. Also, it seems that directing the original Frankenweenie is what got Burton fired from Disney back in the '80s, something I don't think I'd heard before. Coming back all these years later to direct a
Frankenweenie feature film on Disney's dime has gotta be pretty freakin' sweet.
I wasn't that thrilled with the original, live action
Frankenweenie, but I'm curious to see what Burton does with in animation. The story of a boy who brings his dead dog back to life via mad science certainly sounds like something Burton could have fun with.
