Tim Burton is set to direct Alice in Wonderland, Burton will also produce the adaptation, which will use both live action and performance-capture animation.

“The stories are like drugs for children, you know?” Burton said. “It’s like, ‘Whoa, man.’ The imagery, they’ve never quite nailed making it compelling as a full story. So I think it’s an interesting challenge to direct.”

Burton’s Wonderland is part of a new two-picture deal with Disney, both pictures will be shown in 3-D. After “Alice,” Burton will helm and produce “Frankenweenie,” based on his 1984 short cult film 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.
