Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Grant Mcavaney (12) for MovieFIX (60) on 24 Oct 2012

Despite the gothic elements and macabre adult themes, Frankenweenie is more light than dark and more humorous than droll, with Burton cleverly…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 24 Oct 2012

This is McDonalds moviemaking - plonk it down, fry it up, slap on a new label, drop fresh tears in the cauldron - and the special sauce rarely…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Thomas Caldwell (278) for Cinema Autopsy (278) on 23 Oct 2012

With its anti-intellectualism critique, classic horror film homages and beautiful production design, Frankenweenie is a great film for adventurous…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 21 Oct 2012

Uncluttered by the simplicity of the format, the attention to detail is extraordinary with concentration on the storytelling and the characters…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 21 Oct 2012

There is, unfortunately, never a point at which it's not completely obvious that Frankenweenie has been adapted from a short film…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 21 Oct 2012

Entertaining and with something to say, Frankenweenie is an ideal family film: it treats children with respect and its extraordinary attention…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Simon Miraudo (882) for Quickflix (709) on 20 Oct 2012

An exceptionally appealing family comedy, a stunningly realised stop-motion celebration of cinema, and an audacious criticism of America's…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Annette Basile (56) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 20 Oct 2012

A funny and touching monster mash-up, with wonderfully strong work from the entire cast...this is essential viewing for animation fans…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Philip French (1,151) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 20 Oct 2012

At the end, the movie briefly stumbles - dramatically and thematically - but that's a minor detail in a true labour of love…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Contactmusic.com (927) on 18 Oct 2012

With a snappy sense of childish curiosity and lavishly skilled animation, Tim Burton makes one of his most endearing and enjoyably offbeat…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Alex Zane (472) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 18 Oct 2012

Dark, funny and moving, this is Burton at his best…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 18 Oct 2012

An entertainment that is at once old-fashioned and supremely modern, liable to satisfy nostagic parents as much as their children…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 18 Oct 2012

On the surface the story may appear like a cartoon but it is the heart and soul beneath that make it special…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Neil Pond (477) for American Profile (252) on 17 Oct 2012

An extremely touching tale of a boy and his dog makes Frankenweenie much more than just a dazzling exercise in pop-culture cleverness…

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 17 Oct 2012

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Robert Roten (1,865) for Laramie Movie Scope (1,865) on 16 Oct 2012

While the film may be a bit too intense for young children, it will certainly be enjoyed by older kids, teens and adults…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By Adam Woodward (285) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 16 Oct 2012

Perhaps too scary for young kids and too cute for adults, Frankenweenie is nonetheless a hugely likable pet project…
