New Frankenweenie movie list

New movie list Frankenweenie From creative genius Tim Burton 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 will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience. -- (C) Disney Release Date Frankenweenie Oct 5, 2012 Wide

Review For Frankenweenie
Tim Burton's most enjoyable movie in a long time. Tom Charity-CNN.com Burton's best film since 1994's Ed Wood or even 1990's Edward Scissorhands. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic The stop-motion animation - a favorite tool of Burton's - is given loving attention, and the character design is full of terrific touches, such as the hulking flat-topped schoolmate who looks a bit like a certain man-made monster. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The best thing about an animated monster movie with this much heart is: It's alive. In the best possible way. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This 3-D, black-and-white "family" comedy is the year's most inventive, endearing animated feature. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine Designed to appeal to both discriminating adults and older kids, the gorgeous, black-and-white stop-motion film is a fresh, clever and affectionate love letter to classic horror movies. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post The heedlessly macabre tone treats its audience with respect without slavishly condescending to kiddos for easy chuckles, and the visual style is elegant and haunting. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Compared to the shorter and more to the point original, the expanded Frankenweenie is padded and less focused, meandering from a simple path of what was a clever parody/homage. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Tim Burton's Frankenweenie embodies the excitement, innocence, awkwardness and imagination of childhood. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman Extended to feature length, the premise doesn't thin out but gains substance and momentum. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix "Frankenweenie" isn't Burton's best work, but it's still a solid outing for the strange, death-obsessed director. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Disney should've had more faith in this premise back in 1984, when it mattered, instead of shocking it back to a bigger life now... Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Victor's relationship with Sparky is lovely, even when the revivified dog corpse is stitched together with thick black thread and his tail or ear falls off. Cynthia Fuchs-Time to Play Magazine While not a true original in its own right, and therefore not a classic, it is still classic Burton with his creepy, kooky trademarks, so we'll take it. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Maintains the legitimately dark tone of the original short while expanding the narrative in a pleasingly Scissorhands-esque direction. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture In the very best sense, the film is wall-to-wall eye candy. Jim Schembri-3AW 'Frankenweenie' is far from his best, but it is a timely reassurance that the old Tim Burton still exists and may be able to work his black magic again. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) Beautiful, technically astonishing animation and the emotional whack of a lightning bolt cannot quite hide the stitches holding together a paucity of ideas and humour. Iain Gray-Film4 The jokes are built almost entirely around references to old black and white horror movies. Andy Lea-Daily Star Even though it's not among his best films, I'm just happy that Tim Burton has finally made a movie I can recommend to people again. Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central Frankenweenie is rammed with credible horror references, so this is a great movie for children to see if you want to them to develop a good perspective of film history in years to come. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Visually captivating and smartly written, Frankenweenie brings Tim Burton's career back from the metaphorical dead. Glenn Dunks-Trespass I loved this. It is so beautiful and there's almost an innocence to it that Burton achieves. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) It was wise to make the film in black and white, and 3D adds to the charm of this sweetly retro experience. Sparky is hereby added to my list of the cinema's most endearing woofers. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Burton is in lively, playful and sharp form here, deftly balancing blatant eeriness with a chipper cheeriness that excuses many a macabre event. Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia)
