3-D "Vincent" opens Burton's "Nightmare" reissue

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - One ofTim Burton's earliest animated shorts, "Vincent," will be converted to a stereoscopic 3-D form.

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 re-released 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, who narrated the film.
