"Tim Burton's second foray into stop motion animation during the 21st century - after 'Corpse Bride' - is actually a remake of his 1984 homonymous short film, in turn a homage and parody of the classic 1931 cinematic adaptation of 'Frankenstein'. 'Frankenweenie' is based on a world inspired by Universal Pictures' classic monster movies, with a typical Burton movie storyline poking fun at suburban minds unable to comprehend what seemed macabre. The English-speaking voice cast includes several of the director's frequent collaborators, including Winona Ryder ('Edward Scissorhands'), Catherine O'Hara ('The Nightmare Before Christmas'), Martin Short ('Mars Attacks') and Martin Landau ('Ed Wood'). Nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Annie Award for Best Animated Feature."
