“Frankenweenie” trailer released

The teaser trailer of Tim Burton’s new black and white film extravaganza, “Frankenweenie”, has officially come to life with the helping hands of Walt Disney Pictures.

The only information revealed to this point was that the film follows in the footsteps of Burton’s other stop-motion animated flicks “Corpse Bride” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, both of which were nominated for Academy Awards, but Disney has unveiled some other details like for example that over 200 puppets and sets were created for the film, the voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (“Beetlejuice”, “Edward Scissorhands”), Catherine O’Hara (“Beetlejuice”, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), Martin Short (“Mars Attacks!”) and Martin Landau (“Ed Wood”, Sleepy Hollow”) and that several of the character names- Victor, Elsa Van Helsing, Edgar “E” Gore and Mr. Burgemeister- were inspired by classic horror films.

A new image has been also released along with the trailer debut.

New images from Burton’s “Frankenweenie”

It seems the development of Tim Burton’s new animated flick has been masked in secrecy, but a new set of pictures from “Frankenweenie” (Disney) has been released to pique your curiosity.

On one way protagonist we see protagonist Victor checking to make sure his worse-for-wear but beloved dog Sparky is in his rightful place under the bed, animator Jens Gulliksen bringing Victor to life on the Pet Cemetery set, assistant art director, Barry Jones, set dressing the Classroom set, and Matias Liebrecht animating the little boy on the Attic set.

“Frankenweenie” is a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments.

The movie, which is being filmed in black and white and will later be rendered in 3D, will hit theaters on October 2012.
