Like Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” last year before it, Tim Burton’s The most obvious and sustained tribute is, of course, to “Frankenstein.” The moviemaking boy, Victor Frankenstein, shares his name with the Promethean mad scientist of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel and His circumstances are a bit different, though. It borrows freely from other films, including “Bride of Frankenstein” and “Godzilla”. Too many themes I'm bored of in horror, like kids bullying other kids and dogs getting croaked.

Special Feature: Miniatures in Motion: Bringing Frankenweenie to Life [2013] [1080p] [23:00] Here we have interviews of the crew; this short documentary is an in-depth look at the making of the movie and expanding it into a full-length feature. Poor Sparky falls victim to a baseball-related mishap, and Victor, using lightning and a touch of youthful mad-scientist monomania, brings him back to life.The reanimated Sparky offers frisky tribute to Boris Karloff’s original monster, the metal bolts in his neck offset by cute eyes and a perpetually wagging tail. "Victor, a sensitive, curious and misunderstood boy (voiced by Charlie Tahan), reanimates his dog, Sparky, in “Frankenweenie.”The New York Times critics on “Frankenweenie,” “Sister,” and “The Paperboy.” Astonishing imaginative feats — Sparky himself, and other reanimated critters it would be spoilerish to describe — are undermined by dispiriting imaginative lapses.Why can’t any girls compete in the science fair? From The Director of ALICE IN WONDERLAND! That dog was my world and losing him destroyed me. 'Frankenweenie' is a terrific, darkly comic, animated feature (from 2013) that pays homage to all those classic Universal horror films (especially James Whales’ ‘Frankenstein’, of course).BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, VERY TOUCHING & A THOROUGHLY HEART-WARMING STORY. 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. Who wasn't like other boys. 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.
But above all this a kind movie, everything about it is kind from the love of a lost dog, the love of film, the love of parents and the basic goodness of people to accept something alien to them.

A fave of mine and now watched at least 4 times in the last week. A boy loses his beloved best friend but they are reunited with the help of some old school methods.

We had fun working out who the characters were based on, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff etc, the book references (ie Stephen King) and what characters we had seen before (the great similarity of the Mayor with the counterespionage lady from Monsters Inc). Frankenweenie comes to life in this hilarious offbeat story. This is a beautiful story that has something for everyone. A movie simultaneously heartbreaking and joyful. Taking on Burton's signature gothic style Frankenweenie riffs on everything from King Kong to Frankenstein whilst relishing in its b-movie roots.
we saw short cartoon of this on back of film on extra it was fab and children loved so i saw this and bought it, now its slightly different longer, its kind of creepy dark in way maybe thinking like an adult.. glad my boys not have any ideas to dig up our beloved pets shudder!!! He got into film making himself. But while “Frankenweenie” is fun, it is not nearly strange or original enough to join the undead, monstrous ranks of the classics it adores.Edgar is just one of a number of unusual characters in Tim Burton's "Frankenweenie.
Frankenweenie is alive with enchanting fun for the whole family.Eligible if purchased with select payment methods. This film tries to pull in old horror movies, and succeeds, without being too scary. The cinematography, the performances, the story, the tears I shed, it's all priceless.
But at the same time many of the film’s shades of feeling seem to have been painted by numbers, and the small town itself is as rickety and worn as a standing set on a studio back lot. Like Ed Wood it is a homage to cinema. As is usually the case in Mr. Burton’s world, the well-intentioned push toward conformity leads to chaos and near-tragedy. How he must be smiling now, as a hugely successful and innovative director and film-maker; even able to turn a 1984 animated short into this feature-length film, with its bizarre creations and ghoulish preoccupations with the gothic and the macabre.
----- Thank you for watching. Partly, I realize, to set up a nifty “Godzilla” takeoff, but also, less forgivably, to supply a bit of cheap ethnic humor. It's just excellent. Love the romance between Sparky and the poodle next door, which rubs off on her, leaving 'lightening zig zags' on the sides of her head, that made me laugh.
