Review of Frankenweenie (2012) by Joel M — 13 Dec 2014
10/10: Perfect! This is Tim Burton at his finest ... and without Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter! I liked the original short 1984, but this full length animation, is as good if not better! Also, Danny Elfman's score perfectly compliments the story and characters created from Tim's original idea of integrating the 1930's Universal horror, 1950's sci-fi & Ed Wood, 1980's pop Hollywood which greatly influenced his career.
There are lots of homage to old monster, horror and sci-fi films - Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula (Christopher Lee), Godzilla, Bride of Frankenstein, Gremlins, Invisible Man and even a Vincent Price lookalike!
