Tim Burton: Frankly, a weenie budget...

Tim Burton says that his upcoming 3D stop motion animated movie, Frankenweenie, will be made with a "real low budget". Burton recently signed on with Disney to helm two Disney 3D features, the other being "Alice in Wonderland" scheduled to hit theaters in 2010.

Burton has some surprises in store for us. His original live action stab (1984) at this story did not include various emotions and characters that he wanted to include, but couldn't. This time around he will be firmly in his element and weaving kind of story that Burton is known for: Dark and skewered. But brilliant.

Frankenweenie is about a boy who manages to bring his pet dog back from the dead.

Frankenweenie is pegged for release in that happy 3D year of 2009.

Let me tell you that Stephen King's "Pet Semetary" scared the crap out of me when I was younger. If Burton has his way, I am sure I will be regressing into my youth very quickly.
