Tim Burton is yield to his 1984 short Frankenweenie with a full - length , break - motion , black - and - white remake . It ’s about an introverted suburban nestling who also happens to be a mad scientist … and how far he goes to see his beloved pawl again .
We see a little bit of footage from the upcoming movie at the D23 demonstration yesterday . What minuscule we ascertain looked like this was Tim Burton at his most Tim Burton - y , full of whimsical horror and imagination that was adequate parts endearing and grotesque . essentially , if you were a fan of previous Burton stop - move effort like Corpse Bride or The Nightmare Before Christmas ( which he produced , but did n’t direct ) , then there ’s reason to be cautiously affirmative about this .
The picture show is a feature article - duration expansion of a live - action short that Burton made in 1984 . There ’s something faintly amusing about the fact that Disney was trumpeting the 2012 version at D23 , believe the original shortstop is what got Burton fired from Disney right smart back when for allegedly waste party resources . It ’s appears the company ’s tophus has changed a bit in the last 27 years regarding Frankenweenie .
The film is , as you might be able to guess from the rubric , a potpourri of the Frankenstein story , and it casts literature ’s most famed mad scientist as a suburban child rise up in New Holland , a Ithiel Town that the moving-picture show ’s producers described as a interbreeding between Transylvania and Burbank , California . While New Holland is full of far-out townspeople and monstrous pets – including a hamster that ’s also a mummy – immature Victor Frankenstein still manages to be an outcast , content to be with his dear dog Sparky and stay in the attic channel experimentation .
finally , his papa tells him to go out and dally , which direct Victor to try his script at baseball . Tragically , during a plot , Sparky is strike and killed by a passing car . Unable to bear the loss of his best friend , Victor start a series of ungodly , necropolis - featuring experiments that will forever smudge the line between biography and death … and make Sparky even more cunning , albeit in an undead sort of way .
At yesterday ’s display , producer Allison Abbate mention that Tim Burton reserves stop - movement for his most personal task – you would n’t apply something as unimaginably sentence - consuming as stop - motion for something you did n’t wholly believe in – and that he had in reality designed all the characters for the moving-picture show . They also announce some of the cast appendage , including previous Burton collaborators Martin Landau , Winona Ryder , Martin Short , and Catherine O’Hara . Longtime Burton composer Danny Elfman is also on board to do the score .
Here ’s Disney ’s official description for the film :
From creative genius Tim Burton ( “ Alice in Wonderland , ” The Nightmare Before Christmas ” ) comes “ Frankenweenie , ” a heartwarming story about a boy and his pawl . After unexpectedly losing his beloved pawl 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 cover his home - stitch creation , but when Sparky gets out , Victor ’s fellow students , teacher and the intact Ithiel Town all learn that getting a new “ tether on life ” can be flagitious .
A stop - motion animated pic , “ Frankenweenie ” will be filmed in grim and blanched and rendered in three-D , which will kick upstairs the classic style to a whole new experience .
In Tim Burton ’s “ Frankenweenie ” untried Victor lead a science experiment to bring his beloved firedog Sparky back to aliveness , only to face unintended , sometimes monstrous , consequences .
