In what must be 3D movie poster day on MarketSaw, here's the first poster for Tim Burton's FRANKENWEENIE.I would say that Burton got Disney to throw in this production as a kicker to the deal that had him make ALICE IN WONDERLAND. If they can make a FIFTH of what that behemoth made in the box office it will be a rousing success.
Note that Burton already made this movie in 1984 but he has wanted to revisit it for a long time.
Voice cast in this stop motion animated 3D feature are Martin Short, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau amongst others.
Here's the movie's storyline:
From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) 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.
FRANKENWEENIE has an October 5 release date. Here's the movie's official Facebook Page.
