Tim Burton's Vincent To Be In 3D

Disney is teaming up with Tim Burton to revive one of Burton's early animation short "Vincent" into stereoscopic 3D. This version will be shown with the re-release of Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D this coming October.

The film will play on 3-D-ready digital-cinema screens as the opening attraction to screenings of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D," which will be rereleased by the Walt Disney Co. in October.

Made in 1982, "Vincent" is a six-minute stop-motion film that tells the story of Vincent Malloy, a youth who imagines that he is like Vincent Price. The black-and-white short is based on a poem written by Burton, who was influenced by Price. Price narrated the film.


This is terrific! I haven't seen this yet. While I have seen Nightmare last year in 3D, I certainly would go see it again this year. Having this short movie along with it is a very pleasant bonus. If it is done as well as what they did to "Working for Peanuts" at the beginning of Meet the Robinsons, then the 3D effects would be outstanding.
