Seriously, Why does this film rarely get brought up when discussing movies made by Tim Burton. (Even Corpse Bride gets more Recognition than this) In my opinion, this is one of his greater films in recent years. It harkens back to the director's golden days while delivering a heartfelt story with a dark and creepy edge that parodies and honors the horror genre. It's stop motion animation is nothing short of AMAZING, I love how it all is in black and white and set in a sort of 50's Serbia. The character designs are all distinct and visually appealing and of course, Danny Elfman's Score is lovely and bonkers as per usual. Every year I watch this movie every Halloween and it keeps getting better and better with every viewing. It's honestly a shame that this movie doesn't get the love that a lot of other well-known Tim Burton movies do. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely no "The Nightmare Before Christmas" but it's still a Lovely, Ernest and Occasionally Horrific movie that is way better then most everyone gives it credit for

Whilst it rarely feels like much of a departure from the usual Burton tropes (and this is of course another version of a previous Burton film), this is a wonderful homage to horror films and stories for adults that also doesn't alienate its core younger audience who will enjoy the mild scares that come in the final act. The stop motion animation lends a tangibility to the world that CGI can't replicate and the black and white photography is stunning. Burton is a master at developing characters who feel alienated and creating sympathy and understanding towards them, and there is incredible warmth in the relationship between Victor and his dog.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie because it had that classic Tim burton style. I liked the fact that it was in black and white as a modern claymation movie because you could see the gore but not to the point it wouldn’t get streamed. I was rooting for the cat girl and the main boy to get together but about halfway in I realized I’m probably just insane

6.3/10. Tim Burton has become as much of a brand as a filmmaker in recent years. As the quality and critical reputation of his films have suffered to some degree, his consistency in style and vibe have remained a sticking or selling point, depending on your view. Whether it’s the art deco design i More

Good stuff, unmistakably Tim Burton.

Frankenweenie is a solid stop-motion horror film from Disney. Interesting plot, coupled with a suitable cast and untypical animation. It's also in black-and-white, which doesn't hamper things at all - I, in a weird sort of way, kinda forgot it was b/w More

This time it's the Frankenstein story that gets the Tim Burton treatment delivering us an hybrid of "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) and Karloff's "Frankenstein" (1935) with a little pooch throw in for good measure. It's the eponymous mutt that gets hit by car whilst fetching a baseball hit, surprisingl More
