Did "Frankenweenie" Kill Guillermo del Toro's Stop-Mo "Pinocchio" Project?

Guillermo Del Toro and animation veteran Mark Gustafson (Fantastic Mr. Fox, The PJs) were set to co-direct a stop motion adaptation of Pinocchio for the Jim Henson Company. The film was based on a version of the story illustrated by Gris Grimly.

According to Bleeding Cool, Grimly posted a couple of posts on Twitter yesterday that implied the project is stalled:

Short to the point update on Pinocchio for those inquiring: It appears that this is not the right time for such a superior-adventurous flick

and then:

@thinkbaker There are people like us out there. But they look at numbers. Frankenweenie was a box office failure to them.

The tweets have since been deleted so perhaps Grimly’s announcement was premature. The production studio Shadowmachine still lists the project on their homepage. If anybody knows more, do tell.
