Way back in 2007 in the same exact story announcing that Tim Burton would be bringing us Alice in Wonderland in 3D, was news that Burton would also be turning early his short film Frankenweenie into a feature stop-motion animation project in 3D as well. For a while we didn’t hear much about Frankenweenie, mainly because the focus was on all things Alice, but not anymore. We reported just last week that Burton may potentially direct an Addams Family movie in 3D, but his very next animated project may actually be Frankenweenie instead, or so says AICN, who also spoke with Disney producer Don Hahn about the project.

Although there aren’t any quotes, Harry says that Hahn told him “that the puppets are ready, the script is done and now that Tim Burton is clear of Alice in Wonderland, he’s set to helm Frankenweenie in 3D.” As a refresher, Frankenweenie was originally one of Burton’s first short films from 1984 that tells the story of a pet dog brought back to life by his loyal owner. It’s the perfect story to adapt into a full-length stop-motion feature and I’m glad it’s moving along swiftly, not only because it will take a few years to complete the work on it anyway, but also because there can never be enough stop-motion movies. Stay tuned for more updates!
