ABOUT THE MOVIE
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.

A stop-motion animated film, "Frankenweenie" was filmed in black and white and
rendered in 3D. The talented voice cast includes: Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short,
Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell and
Winona Ryder.

Presented by Disney, "Frankenweenie" is directed by Tim Burton, produced by Tim
Burton and Allison Abbate, and executive produced by Don Hahn, from a screenplay by
John August, based on an original idea by Tim Burton. "Frankenweenie" releases in
U.S. theaters on October 5, 2012.
