Frankenweenie is an upcoming 3D black-and-white stop motion-animated film, directed by Tim Burton, and is a remake of his own 1984 short film of the same name. Like the 1984 version, it is a parody of and an homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley's book of the same name. In the film, a boy named Victor loses his dog and uses the power of science to bring it back to life. The film is scheduled for release on October 5, 2012. It will be the first black and white feature and first stop-motion film to be released in IMAX 3D. After the death of his beloved dog Sparky, young... Victor harnesses the power of science to bring him back to life. Victor tries to hide his creation, but Sparky gets out and causes havoc in the town. Some actors who previously worked with the director, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, Martin Landau, Martin Short, and Conchata Ferrell, will rejoin him on this project providing the voices. Another Burton regular, Christopher Lee, makes an uncredited cameo as Dracula in an old movie playing on TV.
