A new trailer for director Tim Burtonâs stop-motion animated film Frankenweenie was shown to fans at Comic-Con earlier today (you can read our recap of the panel right here), and now Disney has released the clip for the general public to see. Itâs a great throwback to black-and-white monster movies and horror TV shows of yesteryear, and I sincerely hope that this is the tone that permeates throughout the whole movie.Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film features the voices of Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine OâHara, and Martin Landau. Frankenweenie opens in 3D on October 5th. Hereâs the synopsis for Frankenweenie:
From creative genius Tim Burton (âAlice in Wonderland,â The Nightmare Before Christmasâ) comes âFrankenweenie,â 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 lifeâwith just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victorâs fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new âleash on lifeâ can be monstrous.
