Frankenweenie
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 is darned near an instant classic. Tim Burton has taken the animated short that launched his career and expanded it into a vivid and moving essay on science and love -- the love a budding middle-school scientist, Victor Frankenstein, has for his dog, Sparky.
That was the kernel of the original 1984 Frankenweenie, back at the beginning of Burton's career. Burton gives that genius concept full voice in a rich, delicately textured, 3-D jewel in the stop-motion animation style.
