It was Tim Burton’s love of and appreciation for classic horror films that inspired him to create the 3-D black and white stop-motion film Frankenweenie. And as a special homage to those films that helped make Burton the filmmaker he is today, Disney’s showing off this brand new trailer which debuted at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. Enjoy!
Frankenweenie opens in theaters on October 5, 2012.
The Plot:
From creative genius Tim Burton 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.
