Tim Burton to direct stopmotion animation Addams Familiy movie!!!!!!!!

WHOA! This bit of news caught out me completely out of left field! Mr. Burton will be doing this project for Illumination Studios. From what I gather it will be largely based on the original Chaz Addams material that appeared in the New Yorker magazine and not on the 60's tv show or the 90's films. The 60's show just barely hinted at who and what the Addams were about. Gomez was totally maniacal in the original toons at slight hint of that was shown in the open seqeunce of the 60's tv show with Gomez gleefully sharpening the spikes on the top of the fence in the front yard. this will be very intersting, a hell of a lot more interesting than Illuminations other film project Wheres Waldo?
