"For Burton all animation is reanimation, and Frankenweenie's magnificent puppets look eerily conscious: stop-motion really is the perfect medium for this story."—Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)

"Sparky is hereby added to my list of the cinema's most endearing woofers."—David Stratton, Empire Magazine

"An animated children's film sufficiently dark and twisted to provide adult amusement too."—Kate Muir, Times (UK)

Young Victor Frankenstein is a science nerd and outsider at school, but he does have one good friend: his dog, Sparky. Tragedy strikes, Sparky dies, and Victor is heartbroken, but a devoted science teacher gives him an idea of how to jolt old Sparky back to life. The experiment is successful, but Victor's fellow students steal his method to resurrect their own pets with monstrous consequences.
