Frankenweenie

1984 29 min PG Horror · Family · Science Fiction · Comedy

A comic twist on a classic tail!

Suburban streets on a dark autumn night, a mangled bicycle, Sparky's lifeless body, a boy's desperate experiment. A reanimated dog terrorizes the neighborhood. Burton's early work already showcases his offbeat humor.

Directed by Tim Burton · Written by Tim Burton, Leonard Ripps

Starring Barret Oliver, Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, Joseph Maher, Roz Braverman, Paul Bartel
