This morning the Academy Award nominations were announced, and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie was nominated in the category of animated films!
Here's a gracious response from Tim:
Burton, speaking about the nomination, said, "FRANKENWEENIE is a very personal film for me. The idea of telling a feature length version was in the back of my mind for many years. Stop Motion was the perfect medium for this project, and one I've always loved for its expressiveness and dimensionality. I've worked with so many incredible artists: animators, cast members, set builders, and puppet makers, all who have helped bring this film to life one frame at a time. I'm so honored that the Academy has recognized this film as one of its nominees."
It would be incredible if Tim won an Oscar!!!
