The 3-D project is believed to be part of a two-picture deal with Disney, under which he will also helm a version of Alice in Wonderland.
He told Sci Fi Wire: "We're going to do that real low-budget... The thing that excites me about it and that will make it different is that when I look at my original drawings, there are certain things that are in those that I couldn't get in the live action when I made the film.
"So I'm quite excited to try to get a certain emotion and other characters in the new version, and I want to make it a slightly bigger story."
The movie is scheduled for release in 2009.
