New Character Images from Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie”

Edgar “E” Gore is a needy misfit who doesn’t have
friends but is desperate to be Victor’s partner for the science fair. In his
attempts to be accepted ‘E’ tends to mess things up and often fails to think
before he speaks. Even though ‘E’ promises
not to tell Victor’s secret, he accidentally spills the beans

Mr. Rzykruski is the new science teacher at New
Holland Elementary School. He has a thick, Eastern European accent and a unique
way of explaining things. He connects with his students; however, parents
misunderstand his passionate teaching style. Mr. Rzykruski serves as a mentor
and inspiration to Victor, teaching him that science can do both good and bad things and
that if a scientist does not put his heart into his experiment, there could be
disastrous consequences.

Weird Girl doesn’t fit in well with the
other kids in New Holland, but it’s easy to see why—she delivers ominous
pronouncements in a monotone voice with an unnerving stare. Her constant
companion is her fluffy, white cat Mr. Whiskers, whose unblinking gaze matches
her own. The other kids give them a wide berth—especially when Weird Girl
rambles about Mr. Whiskers’ dreams.

Mr.
Burgemeister is the Frankenstein’s next-door neighbor and Mayor of New Holland.
A crotchety fuss-bucket, he is fanatical about his garden and can’t stand Sparky or anything
else that threatens the perfection of his tulips. Mr. Burgemeister also asserts
his authority over his niece Elsa Van Helsing by making her the reluctant star
of his New Holland Dutch Day celebration.
