Frankenweenie (2012)
Directed by Tim Burton
this remake of his own earlier short features the voice talent of
Charlie Tahan, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau and
Winona Ryder. A young boy looks to use science to bring his pet dog
back to life.
The inspiration of
this film is clearly a mix of classic horror films and Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein which the film does a good job of reflecting but I am
not sure it ever captures the depth of. While this is a
quintessentially Tim Burton film it does feel at times like he is
just going through the motions of repeating earlier work. There is
some fun to be had here but I think that ultimately and kind message
behind the film is a bit of a confusing mess and was clearly not that
important to the film makers.
3/5
