Here we have the trailer for Frankenweenie, Tim Burton’s stop-motion remake of his own short from 1984 (not to be confused of course with Frankenpenis, a 1996 adult film starring John Wayne Bobbit). Featuring the vocal talents of Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, and Tom Kenny, it hits theaters October 5th, and it promises to be Tim Burton like you’ve never seen him before! …Hold on, I’m being handed a memo… Sorry, check that. It’s Tim Burton exactly how you’ve seen him before. Sorry for the confusion.
I can’t be the only one who thought that tail kind of looked like a creepy zombie penis.
“When you lose someone you love, they never really leave you, they just move into a special place in your heart. the ground.” Fixed!
Also, why is the dog all stitched together? Did they chop him up in pieces before they buried him? That’s dark, man.

His original wasn’t stop motion; it was live action. Vincent was his stop-motion movie from the 80′s. Jesus, I need to get a job.
You’re right, sorry, I put “stop-motion” in the wrong place.
He didn’t say that the original was stop-motion, he just said that the remake was.
And remember when being a huge Tim Burton got you film snob cred? Oh I miss 1996 too.
I’m here to help. and because I have nothing better to do. Although now that you’ve corrected it, I look like a retard. That is my penance for being a know-it-all.
I thought liking Fellini or Godard got you film snob cred while liking Tim Burton just meant you hung out at Hot Topic a lot.
Olayer01, that’s what it has meant since 2005 (when Corpse Bride came out).
If you weren’t going to see it before, surely the bragging by Disney that this was from the genius mind of the director of Alice in Wonderland will convince you.
When the trailer first started, I thought it was cgi to look like stop-motion. At least then you could advertise it as the “Andy Serkis of movies.”
Tim Burton has been plagurising himself for far too long. I loved Nightmare Before Christmas, I think everyone did… Move on dude. Update or evolve your aesthetic, because its no longer visually striking its fucking mainstream boredom inducing now.
So Tim Burton has officially become a parody of Tim Burton?
“Director of Alice In Wonderland”
Really? THAT’S the best thing they could think of? They may as well say, “Director of Alice In Wonderland which is on DVD and Blu-Ray now–please buy it (because we lost our shirts making that pile of crap)”
Sadly, it’s because “Alice” is, by far, his most financially successful movie to date (one billion worldwide gross, which is roughly 500 million more than his second). This is why we can’t have nice things.
Marketing guys can only remember the last film you did. And since it was for Disney, it was an easy choice.
Plus it made money, and somehow won a few awards.
Would anyone be surprised to learn that Tim Burton has a macro on his computer that writes his movies with the push a of a button?

that fucking kid…
Does Helena Bonham Carter play the dog? Finally a perfect role for her.
Pretty brave/risky choice of him to go with Danny Elfman for the music.
Hello, Disney? I need to order 2,000 stuffed Frankenweenie toys. Shop? I’m not at a shop. Just dump them through the window into my bedroom.
Is “Frankpenis” the sequel to “Frankenpenis?” Or is that “Frank’s 2000 Inch Penis” that I’m thinking of, the one with the cameo by Weird Al?
So he brings the dog back to life….then fin? What the hell is this movie about?
