From
creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before
Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and
his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor
harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to
life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn
creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers
and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be
monstrous.
A
stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” was filmed in black and
white and rendered in 3D, which elevates the classic style to a whole
new experience.
In
Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment
to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended,
sometimes monstrous, consequences.
NOTES:
- When Tim Burton originally conceived the idea for “Frankenweenie,” he envisioned it as a full-length, stop-motion animated film. Due to budget constraints, he instead directed it as a live-action short, released in 1984.
- “Frankenweenie” follows in the footsteps of Tim Burton’s other stop-motion animated films “Corpse Bride” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”—both of which were nominated for Academy Awards®.
- Over 200 puppets and sets were created for the film.
- The voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (“Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands”), Catherine O’Hara (“Beetlejuice,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), Martin Short (“Mars Attacks!”) and Martin Landau (“Ed Wood,” Sleepy Hollow”).
- Classic horror films inspired several of the character names.
