Frankenweenie
Rated: PG
Genre: Animation, Family
Street Date: January 8, 2013
Available On: DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo and 3D Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo
The Film: “Frankenweenie” expands upon one of Tim Burton’s early
short films and does so brilliantly. The story finds Victor, an extremely
intelligent young boy, who brings his dog Sparky back to life using Dr.
Frankenstein’s lightning method. Unfortunately Victor’s innocent approach to
science leads to unexpected consequences.
The Extras: "Captain Sparky vs The Flying Saucers" short, "Miniatures in Motion" featurette, original live-action short, "Frankenweenie Touring Exhibit" featurette and Plain White T's "Pet Sematary" video.
Recommendation: “Frankenweenie” was my favorite animated film of 2012. It is
beautiful, smart and a tribute to old Universal horror films and classic
monster films like “Godzilla.”
