Character Posters for Tim Burton’s ‘Frankenweenie’
The stop motion animated film is based off of Tim Burton’s live-action short from the 1980s, at the beginning of his film career.
Here’s the official synopsis:
From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,†The Nightmare Before Christmasâ€) 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.Â
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.Â
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.
The voice cast included Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell and Winona Ryder.
“Frankenweenie†will be in theaters on October 5th.

I’ve also included a brief red carpet interview with director Tim Burton from CinemaCon earlier this year, in which he discussed a little about this project.
