"I guess we can't punish Victor for bringing Sparky back from the dead..." ~Frankenweenie
Rumor has it that our favorite director, Tim Burton will remake his 1984, black and white short frankenweenie into a yet another of his wonderful stop-motion creations. Www.slashfilm.com sums it all up well in their article here.
I think that, even though his stop-motion films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride are amazing and I love them dearly (enough to memorize them!), I enjoyed Frankenweenie in it's original wonderfull-ness. Remaking it would be just another opertunity for Disney to make more money (atleast in my opinion). As said in the article, Frankenweenie was one Burton's first films along with Vincent (another grand stop-motion, dedicated to his, and all of ours, hero the late Vincent Price) and was shunned (might not be the best word but oh well) by Disney, and it was only until they saw how successful his other films were that they hired him back to do Nightmare. Well anyways, I'd love for everyone to read the article and to hear your opinions, do you think he will (or should) remake Frankenweenie???
Love to all, HBCfan
