Catherine O'Hara says that it was an automatic yes when she was asked to work with Tim Burton in Frankenweenie.

The actress reunites with the filmmaker after working with him on Beeltejuice as she lends her voice to a series of characters in the stop motion animation movie.

And she says that she didn't have to think twice about coming aboard the project.

Speaking to Collider the actress said: "It hasn’t happened that much, but yeah, absolutely. Of course! Who wouldn’t?!

"Think how many people he could call and they would say yes. Pretty much anyone, I think. I think, if he called any actress, they would say yes.

"If Meryl Streep was called and told, 'Tim Burton wants you to do three characters,' she would go for it.

"She’s got a great sense of humor and she’s cool, so she would do it. But, I got to do it, and I feel very fortunate. I really do."

Martin Short, Winona Ryder and Christopher Lee are just some of the other actors that have lent their voice to the film - a film which will be opening BFI London Film Festival later this week.

Frankenweenie is released 17th October.
