The Spooktacular Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie opens in theaters Today!! The weekend is here and the weather here is chilly in the Midwest. Gather up the kids and head to the show this weekend for a Spooktacular Electrifying experience with 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. 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. Two films my daughter absolutely loves. Her birthday is next week and she’s already asked to see this film.
“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.

Before you head off to the show be sure to get your fortune read by Mr. Whiskers.
Make sure you “like” FRANKENWEENIE on Facebook and then Ask Mr. Whiskers about YOUR future!
- 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.
- 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.
