Ahhh, let them...
It'll be utter shite and not a patch on the original.
A bit like Peter Jackson's King Kong (romantic ice-skating
in Central Park? I mean, I reckon the guy is a brilliant
film maker, but what the hell was he thinking?).
In other stop motion news (the nth report in an infrequent series),
I watched Corpse Bride for the first time today and noticed the
piano played by the the main character was labelled a Harryhausen.
Made me smile, at least. A nice nod to Burton's influences...

despite it's terrifying ubiquitous presence...
I still love wikipedia, because it tells us this:
* The Pixar film Monsters Inc.(2001) features scenes in a restaurant called Harryhausen's.
* Both the Tim Burton stop-motion film Corpse Bride and the Nick Park stop-motion film Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit featured a piano made by a piano maker called Harryhausen.

Dammit, see, I thought I was being smart picking up on that reference,
but obviously I should have googled before posting...
Interesting that both Curse of the Wererabbit and Corpse Bride should feature
the same homage - I noticed several other overlaps between the 2 films
(not least in the look of the bad guy). I'll probably now find both flicks share
the same artistic director or something.
