FRANKENWEENIE is the new stop-motion feature from Tim Burton has been subtly lurking under the radar for a while now with DARK SHADOWS taking all the media attention and we think this may, hopefully, help the Gothic-director upon its release. Back in 1984, Burton released this as one of his first shorts and has been waiting for a long time to develop this into a full feature.

In FRANKENWEENIE, Sparky the Dog is cruelly taken from young Victor but he has plans for his beloved pet and conducts a science experiment to bring Sparky back to life, only to face unexpected consequences. We had an early image released on THN at the end of last year and now we’ve got the first poster thanks to their Facebook page. But before you click the link for the full, animated experience, have a preview right here:

The film also features the voice talents of Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short and Martin Landau and is set for opens in Halloween season on October 5th.
