The black and white, stop-motion animated 3D film Frankenweenie, from director Tim Burton and based on the ideas in his 1984 live-action short, is a heart-warming tale about a boy and his beloved dog. After unexpectedly losing Sparky, young Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) sews him back together and harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life, but quickly faces unintended and sometimes monstrous consequences for his actions. The voice cast also includes Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Atticus Shaffer and Winona Ryder. During an early press day for the film, in which we got the chance to preview nearly 30 minutes of footage from the October 5th release, production designer Rick Heinrichs talked about his longtime collaboration and friendship with Tim Burton, what he loves about stop-motion animation, the process of taking the original drawings and turning them into three-dimensional figures, how the medium has changed with technology, »

This October, Walt Disney Animation will present Frankenweenie, Burton.s first stop-motion film since 2005.s Corpse Bride.

Based on the live-action short film that Burton directed all the way back in 1984, the story is about a young boy named Victor (Charlie Tahan) whose dog, Sparky, is killed when he gets hit by a car. Unwilling to accept his dog.s death and inspired by the upcoming science fair, Victor figures out a way to possibly bring his dog back to »

‘Frankenweenie’ starring Charlie Tahan – trailer review
3 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: (voices of) Charlie Tahan, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara
Rating: Not Yet Rated
Release Date: October 15, 2012
Trailer Score: 8/10
Thoughts by Tsr: Tim Burton has been hit or miss for me throughout his career, but one thing that’s remained consistent is that I’ve always liked the animated films he’s been involved with. That’s why it pleases me to no end to see Burton returning to the world of stop motion. Frankenweenie looks to be very much in the same vein as what came before, and that’s a very good thing.
I love that the film is in black and white. When combined with the stop motion animation it makes it really feel like a Tim Burton movie, but not to the point where it comes off as self-parody. It’s also appreciated that it only gives away the basic idea »

Tim Burton resurrects Frankenweenie
5 March 2012 2:47 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Tim Burton has teamed with Disney to produce a feature-length stop-motion animation version of the black and white short film which originally severed the relationship between the young animator and the studio. “They claimed the film was too violent," recalled Burton. "The only violence in that is when the dog gets run over by a car, and that is done off-camera.” The times have changed and the director has been able to bring Frankenweenie back to life with the help of his former employer. The official synopsis reads:
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.

Frankenweenie Trailer. Tim Burton‘s Frankenweenie (2012) teaser trailer stars Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, and Conchata Ferrell. Frankenweenie‘s plot synopsis: “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.”
About Frankenweenie‘s road to the big screen:
Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie is a great example of how tastes and trends change. When the young director made the first live-action black and white version of the story for Disney in [1984], the company fired him, saying the film was too scary for a family audience.
Now, almost thirty years later, strange and macabre stories are »

‘Frankenweenie’ Trailer: More Tim Burton Stop-Motion Madness
1 March 2012 10:29 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Even though Dark Shadows is the first Tim Burton-directed movie due to hit theaters in 2012, a trailer for that film has yet to be released. Instead, today marks the arrival of a teaser trailer for the Gothic artist’s upcoming return to the world of stop-motion animation: a feature-length treatment of Burton’s original 1984 black-and-white short riff on the Frankenstein story, otherwise known as Frankenweenie.
Frankenweenie is a 3D project which retains the B&W aesthetic of Burton’s original half-hour movie (as a homage to classic horror titles of the early 20th century) and reunites the filmmaker with such familiar folk as Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, and Martin Short – who are all lending their vocals to Burton’s latest warped mix of macabre whimsy and tender sentiment.
Adolescent actor Charlie Tahan also lends his voice to ...

Frankenweenie Trailer Arrives Online
1 March 2012 9:35 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
So here it is, the first full trailer for Tim Burton's dead-then-alive-again pet project, Frankenweenie.A stop-motion remake of Burton's own 1984 short film, it's just as Burtonesque as you'd expect, all Corpse Bride jawlines and monochrome chiaroscuro.Vocal talents come from a number of different sources, including a couple of Burton old hands (hello Winona Ryder), as they tell the tale of young resurrection fan and hobbying scientist Victor Frankenstein (Charlie Tahan) bringing his dead dog back to life.The animation looks great, and it's very encouraging to see just how much this most-anticipated of Frankenstein pastiches revels in the sheer darkness of it all.Anyway, take a look at the trailer yourself and let us know what you think. Will you be watching this, "From the director of Alice In Wonderland", when it comes out on October 5? Let us know in the comment box below. »

As promised you can now watch the first official trailer from Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, a film in which a young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences. The trailer gives a handful of nods to the classic Universal Frankenstein films, while also sort of remaking it in the world of Burton. In short, it looks pretty fantastic. In theaters October 5, 2012 from Walt Disney Pictures, the voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands), Catherine OHara (Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas), Martin Short (Mars Attacks!) and Martin Landau (Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow), while Charlie Tahan and Atticus Shaffer later added. »
