Frankenweenie
Science goes astray!
Directed by Tim Burton
Produced by Tim Burton Productions
A darkly whimsical stop-motion fable about a boy's devotion to his dog, blending gothic atmosphere with genuine warmth and the playful absurdity of science gone wrong.
When a car hits young Victor's pet dog Sparky, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them that Sparky's still the good, loyal friend he was.
