'Frankenweenie' Clip Brings Back the Dead

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

A clip for the new Tim Burton film Frankenweenie has finally surfaced online, courtesy of Yahoo!News.

The clip showcases Burton’s trademark style of animation, which seems to be a hybrid of The Nightmare Before Christmas‘s claymation and modern day CGI. The Frankenweenie clip below shows Victor, the film’s Frankenstein-esque protagonist, attempting to bring his canine companion Sparky back from the dead.

This also follows the Frankenweenie storyline. Soon, Victor is put to work by the rest of his peers in reanimating their beloved lost pets. The entire town is entually overrun by reanimated animals, some friendlier than others.

Frankenweenie will be Tim Burton‘s second effort this year, following the release of the underwhelming Dark Shadows. It will showcase the vocal talents of Winona Ryder, Christopher Lee, Martin Landau and newcomer Charlie Tahan. Neurotic funnyman Martin Short is also slated to voice five different characters.

The clip comes just in time to generate a bit of buzz before Frankenweenie‘s release on October 5. While you’re waiting, take a look at the new clip and, as always, tell us what you think!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
