Word is going around the internet that Disney's got a new stop-motion animation feature in the works:

Disney Slips About Stop Motion Project
Cinema Blend

Ain’t It Cool News is featuring a reader report from a recent event held by Disney in celebration of their upcoming picture Enchanted. After a screening of the picture, Dick Cook held a Q&A session where word moved to the future for Disney. Cook mentioned The Princess and the Frog and then let it slip that the Mouse House would be producing a stop-motion animated project “helmed by the creative mastermind behind the majority of stop-motion pictures in the last decade.” Well, there certainly isn’t a whole lot of names vying for that accomplishment, so I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think it’s going to be Burton. Solid details should be released in about a month.

I didn't want to post this as "news" because Ain't It Cool News isn't a very reliable source. It could just be a rumor.

That is still interesting. Sometimes Aint it cool is on target, though and othertimes they miss by a mile.

Hmm... When I think of the "majority of stop-motion pictures in the last decade" I think of Aardman/Nick Park of Wallace & Gromit/Chicken Run/Shaun the Sheep/Creature Comforts fame and not Tim Burton.

I agree that I think of them first, but Burton already has a long history with Disney, so I would assume it would be made by him.

Dreamworks recently dumped Aardman, so it could be that Disney is picking them up.

I am not a big fan of Tim Burton, so I don't know how much I like this idea.

Tim Burton to direct Frankenweenie Stop-Motion Animated Feature Film?
/Film

Ain't it Cool received an anonymous e-mail tip claiming that Burton will in fact be making a stop motion animated feature length remake of his infamous short Frankenweenie. Frankenweenie is a parody of the 1931 Frankenstein film. Burton made the short black and white film in 1984.

Eentelesting idea. Frankenweenie was a good film but live-action seems to suit it more than stop-motion.

I love the way Tim Burton's mind works and how he adds a darker side to everything. Plus I love stop-motion (mostly in Robot Chicken). This has potential.
