Arriving in theaters on October 5, 2012 is the 3D black-and-white stop motion-animated comedy horror film Frankenweenie. Directed by acclaimed director Tim Burton, the film is a remake of his own 1984 short film of the same name. Like the 1984 version, it is a parody of and an homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley’s book of the same name. In the film, after the death of his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring him back to life. Victor tries to hide his creation, but Sparky gets out and unintentionally causes havoc in the town.
