Directed and produced by Tim Burton, Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures/Studio Motion Pictures 

This is a remake of the 1984 short film but now utilizes stop-motion animation and has added a few new story beats that, I feel, were hit or miss.

FUN FACT: + Tim Burton was brought back on to re-direct Frankenweenie 2012 and was given more creative liberties to make the original featurette into a feature-length film. It makes you wonder why Disney fired him in the first place.

                   + Frankenweeine (2012) is one of the very few "rare diamonds in the rough" of turning a live-action film into an animated adaptation AS A MOVIE! It's usually the other way around:

1.) Animated --> Live-action adaptation as a SHOW

2.) The "Straight to VHS (or streaming in this era)" treatment
