Frankenweenie: Difference between revisions

Victor Frankenstein is a young boy who creates movies starring his dog, [[Theme Naming|Sparky]]. After Sparky is hit by a car, Victor learns at school about electrical impulses in muscles, and gets the idea to bring his pet back to life. He creates elaborate machines which bring down a bolt of [[Lightning Can Do Anything|lightning]] that revives the dog. While Victor is pleased, his neighbors are terrified by the animal, and when the Frankensteins decide to introduce the revitalized Sparky to them, they become angry and afraid. The movie stars [[The Shining|Shelly Duvall]], [[The Wonder Years|Daniel]] [[Home Alone|Stern]], and [[The Neverending Story (Filmfilm)|Barret Oliver]]. The movie was first made as a short film in 1984 by [[Tim Burton]] for Disney, which resulted in his termination from the studio under the idea the movie was too scary for children. The film was [[Screwed Byby the Network|shelved]] and didn't see the light in U.S. Theaters but managed a [[Short Run in Peru|theatrical run in the U.K.]] Despite the trouble, the film caught the attention of Paul Reubens who would champion Burton for directing on his film ''[[Pee WeesWee's Big Adventure]]'' which would be Burton's feature length film debut. The film is getting a feature length remake as a [[Author Appeal|Black and White Stop-Motion Animation]] film in 2012 with Tim returning as director and his long time composing partner [[Danny Elfman]]. The cast includes [[Home Alone|Catherine]] [[A Series of Unfortunate Events|O'Hara]], [[Edward Scissorhands|Winona]] [[Little Women|Ryder]], [[Ed Wood (Filmfilm)|Martin Landau]], [[Mars Attacks (Film)|Martin]] [[The Prince of Egypt|Short]], [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid|Robert Capron]], [[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Atticus Shaffer]], [[I Am Legend|Charlie Tahan]] and [[Two and A Half Men|Conchata Ferrell]], and [[Nightmare Before Christmas|Glen Shadix]] in his final role following his death in 2010.
