Tim Burton To Remake Frankenweenie?

Tim Burton is rumoured to be returning to stop animation for the third time. It seems Burton is planning a full-length remake of his short film Frankenweenie. If you’re not familiar with Frankenweenie, we may have to bring you up to speed.

Available on the Nightmare Before Christmas DVD, Frankenweenie is a loose-retelling of the Frankenstein story in which young Victor’s dog, Weenie, is run over only to be resurrected by his master. The Frankendog soon becomes the neighbourhood terror, but Victor desperately tries to convince them that he’s still just his loveable pet.

The original short was live-action and just 29 minutes long. In order to make the film work on the big-screen, there would need to be some major work involved. Then again, I’m sure Burton would be up to it!
