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” was filmed in black and
white and rendered in 3D. The talented voice cast includes: Catherine
O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer,
Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell and Winona Ryder.
Presented
by Disney, “Frankenweenie” is directed by Tim Burton, produced by Tim
Burton and Allison Abbate, from a screenplay by John August, based on a
screenplay by Lenny Ripps, based on an original idea by Tim Burton.
“Frankenweenie” releases in U.S. theaters on October 5, 2012.
