Frankenweenie (2012)

This was a lot better than I had thought it would be. Tim Burton hasn't exactly had the best track record as of late. But it's stop motion and I always want to support that art form. This turned out how I had wished Paranorman had. Lots of fun without getting too dark or occultic and having a real heart behind it. I really enjoyed it and I'm sad that it's doing so poorly. Another reason I was interested in the film was because I had seen Tim's original Frankenweenie short years ago and was curious how he'd expand and update it. I'll have to rewatch the original and compare them. If you're interested here's the original 1984 short.

I remember seeing the original years and years ago.  Nice to see Burton returning to it, as it was a cute movie.  And I'm with you on his continued use of stop motion...it's a dying art, but I really love it.
