Tim Burton returns to stop-motion animation in FRANKENWEENIE, about a boy and his dog and we have the first look at the images from the black and white film being rendered in 3D.
In FRANKENWEENIE, a young Victor unexpectedly loses his beloved dog Sparky and 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.
Burton alumni Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau and Martin Short lend their voice to the Burton 3D film.
FRANKENWEENIE is in theaters next year October 5, 2012.

About the Stills:
Director/Producer Tim Burton studies a model of Sparky during the making of Walt Disney Pictures’ “Frankenweenie,” a 3D, stop-motion, animated film about a young boy who conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog back to life.
In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie,” Sparky, a playful and curious bull terrier, is enthusiastically devoted to his young owner, Victor. Presented by Walt Disney Pictures, “Frankenweenie” opens nationwide in 3D on October 5, 2012.

NOTES:
- When Tim Burton originally conceived the idea for “Frankenweenie,” he envisioned it as a full-length, stop-motion animated film. Due to budget constraints, he instead directed it as a live-action short, released in 1984. · “Frankenweenie” follows in the footsteps of Tim Burton’s other stop-motion animated films “Corpse Bride” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”—both of which were nominated for Academy Awards®.·
- Over 200 puppets and sets were created for the film.·
- The voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (“Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands”), Catherine O’Hara (“Beetlejuice,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), Martin Short (“Mars Attacks!”) and Martin Landau (“Ed Wood,” Sleepy Hollow”).
- · Several of the character names—Victor, Elsa Van Helsing, Edgar “E” Gore and Mr. Burgemeister— were inspired by classic horror films
