About this movie

From Disney and creative genius Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) comes the hilarious and offbeat 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 learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous. Frankenweenie is alive with enchanting fun for the whole family.

Technically, you don't see many black and white films any more. Let alone digital stop frame animations! I'm not a Burton fan, and actually don't know his involvement in this but what I will say is that this film is heartwarming and comedic, it's emotional pallet is diverse; it's a comedy yet the storyline is sad, and infinitely relatable for anyone who's lost someone they loved.
