If you love Tim Burton you are going to love Frankenweenie. The movie is filled with new and old amazing Frankenweenie characters. I think this will be Tim Burton’s best one yet! Have you heard of Frankenweenie yet? Frankenweenie is about a boy who loses his dog, takes some inspiration from his science class, and then brings him back to life! Sparky, the boy’s dog, is just not the same! 🙂 The movie looks funny, artistic, and PERFECT for right before Halloween! It will be shown in 3D giving in an entirely different element!!
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”).
From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) 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.
Victor is played by Charlie Tahan. Elsa is played by Winona Ryder. Edward Frankenstein, Mr. Bergemeister, Nassor, Dad, & Bob are all played by Martin Short. Victor’s Mom, Gym Teacher, & Weird Girl are all played by Catherine O’Hara! All of the characters started with inspiration from previous Tim Burton movies!
