Frankenweenie

When is a story about a dead dog a GOOD thing? When it’s Frankenweenie!!! I’ve been so excited about this upcoming stop-motion animated Disney film by Tim Burton that I can hardly stand it. It won’t be in theaters until October 5th but the new trailer is out and you can watch it here!

About Frankenweenie: 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.  Join other Disney and Frankenweenie Fans on Facebook at  Facebook.com/FrankenweenieMovie.

Frankenweenie Hi-Res Movie Poster!

 

I’m so excited to hear about Frankenweenie, a new animated dog comedy from Disney, and wanted to give you a sneak peak of the new poster and story line!

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.

The release date of October 5, 2012 is perfect timing for getting in the mood for Halloween! Several of the character names—Victor, Elsa Van Helsing, Edgar “E” Gore and Mr. Burgemeister— were inspired by classic horror films. Also interesting to note for fans of Tim Burton’s work:  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”).
