There are enough similarities to the 1971 film for this one to be classified as a remake. I admit I do not say that having seen the film but base it on clips of dialog I've seen nearly identical between the two. But I'm going to love the Tim Burton twist when I see it in the theater, only a couple movies a year drag me to the big screen
