Directed by Tim Burton, Frankenweenie is a 3D black and white stop motion that honours the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley‘s book. A remake of Burton’s 1984 short film of the same name, the film follows Victor (Charlie Tahan), a young boy who conducts a science experiment on his beloved dog Sparky in hopes of bringing him back to life, only to have to face the unintended, monstrous consequences.

Walt Disney Pictures has released the first poster for Tim Burton‘s Frankenweenie this week.

It lasts a few seconds, but then I remember what happened, and how nothing has been the same since.”
