Tim Burtons original short film Frankenwennie from 1984



The animated 2012 Frankenwennie film is a remake of Tim Burtons own shortfilm from 1984. Both movies are great and beautiful. The story, a homage to the old Frankenstein story, is about a boy trying, and succeeding, in waking his dead pet dog alive. As in the old story the dog is not an evil monster though people he encouters in the story threatens to make him one. There is a beautiful little ending in this one though that make me smile all the way up to my ears.
