The first trailer for Frankenweenie – the upcoming stop-motion, black and white film from Tim Burton – has been released!

Here’s the synopsis:

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.

Watch the trailer below:


Frankenweenie features the voice-talents of Winona Ryder (Girl, Interrupted ), Martin Short (Mars Attacks!), Catherine O’Hara (The Nightmare Before Christmas), and Martin Landau (Ed Wood). Are you interested in seeing this?
