Tim Burton remaking Alice in Wonderland?
Tim Burton has signed a deal with the Walt Disney Co. to direct and produce 3-D movies based on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” and his own short film “Frankenweenie.”
The “Alice” adaptation, combining live-action and performance-capture technology, will start shooting in early 2008.
Burton will then start work on a full-length version of his 1984 cult favorite “Frankenweenie,” about a pet dog who is brought back to life by his loyal owner in a very unusual way. The film will be shot in stop-motion animation.
Burton is putting the finishing touches on the Johnny Depp musical “Sweeney Todd,” which DreamWorks/Paramount will release domestically next month.

The demonized world won’t let children have anything sweet and funny..

Oh, c’mon! Frankenweenie IS sweet and funny. I think Burton work for children is usually sweet and funny, yet with a dark twist, but still sweet and funny *and* intelligent.
Do you think that Bambi’s mum being killed and Bambi still calling her name and saying “we’re safe now, Mummy” is in any way sweet or funny? I don’t.

I don’t get it… is he going to do two separate movies, or is he combining the two in some way?
