There's little need to run through the plot Frankenweenie. It is what you expect it to be, a feature-length rewrite of one of Tim Burton's early shorts. That's not why the film is awesome. It's awesome because of the attention to detail in creating a vast 3D, claymation world, and framing that world in the confines and freedoms of black and white film. It's awesome because of Tim Burton's macabre sense of humor and how readily it can be conveyed through puppets. Forget your kids (seriously, don't bring them under 8 years old or so); this film packs plenty of emotional punch for adults.
Frankenweenie 3D
2012, 87 minutes, directed by Tim Burton
In the spirit of the film, the Alamo sponsored a Monster Ball for patrons and their (under 20 pounds) dogs in costume. And as part of the multi-cast world premiere, one of the theaters allowed pets - but fortunately not my theater.
