Summary: 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” will be
filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the
classic style to a whole new experience.
