It's not an idea without potential, but you ultimately are doing a 'what-if' with an existing classic. It makes good commercial sense, but creatively you are trying to fill big shoes. All the reviews I've read of this film suggest that Burton tripped over his laces. The set up for this one reminds me a lot of Hook, where Peter Pan (Robin Williams) must return to Neverland.
