Beetlejuice in 3D Animation: AI Art Shows What Could Be

Tim Burton's Beetlejuice (1988) and its sequel, Beetlejuice 2, are already pretty creepy. But imagine them in 3D animation! AI art shared by Joe Lynch (@dejaview.tv) on Instagram gives us a peek! The images showcase iconic characters like Michael Keaton's wonderfully sleazy Betelgeuse and Jenna Ortega's Astrid Deetz in a seriously unsettling 3D style.  Even Jacques LaLean (that awesome skeleton from the animated series) shows up, creating that whole iconic Beetlejuice feel! That Instagram caption hints towards a "Pumpkin Spice Beetlejuice" so go and check it out!  The sheer potential of these creative options is astonishing.

The post created enormous anticipation! And for good reason.  It perfectly shows just how great this might work! 3D animation’s known for crazy exaggeration. This alone is why it is perfect for this kind of setting! That perfectly weird aesthetic would really POP. Think about all the wonderfully wild expressions, those awesome costumes, all those zany movements—it creates this whole visual symphony of movements which is already iconic!

Tim Burton's films already showcase what a good 3D animation approach is—the likes of Corpse Bride show this perfectly. And that kind of craziness translates perfectly to 3D! Exaggerating features and environments; this entire setting will become even more visually impactful, bringing it completely into a modern setting using cutting-edge tech that could only become apparent now, enhancing previously imagined elements.

This animation style brings new dimensions to the dark humor. It highlights what would otherwise never be easily apparent! Consider that incredibly iconic bio-exorcist Betelgeuse's many transformations. This would translate so smoothly in 3D; becoming totally visually intense; further enhancing how awesomely gross and scary the storyline really is. All those wonderfully weird settings; such as that bizarre afterlife or the freaky Neitherworld – everything benefits greatly from this technology! Think about what 3D can add, from decaying tombstones to those freaky monsters; this adds another element for storytelling which makes many scenes extremely enjoyable. That weird, fun dark comedy—would become even better! The characters and environments will only grow in their distinctiveness through an upgrade such as 3D animation.
