Frankenweenie fun facts:
- 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.
