We've been teased with images and a twisted but adorable teaser poster, but now the first official trailer for Tim Burton's B&W stop-motion animated feature length adaptation of the director's own short film Frankenweenie from 1984. The original film was a live-action short starring Sofia Coppola, Shelley Duvall and Daniel Stern of Home Alone. Coincidentally enough, this animated adaptation features the voice talent of another Home Alone star in Catherine O'Hara along with Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Tom Kenny and Martin Landau. It follows a young boy who somehow brings his dead dog back to life. Watch!

Here's the first teaser trailer for Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, originally from Yahoo:

Frankenweenie was directed by mastermind Tim Burton, who's brought us Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd and The Nightmare Before Christmas previously. The screenplay was written by John August (Go, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, The Nines) from a story by Tim Burton & Leonard Ripps. Disney is bringing Frankenweenie to theaters everywhere in 3D starting on October 5th, 2012 late this year. Stay tuned for more updates!

LOVE the bit where the EGOR kid says it's alive! Laughed out loud. I'm obviously being biased but everything I've seen from this film is incredible. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is unlike anything seen before in stop-motion animation.

  don't know about it being unlike anything seen before, but i do agree that it looks good, and i love the 'it's alive!' reference - just as much as i love the Bride of Frankenstein hair reference when the poodle gets zapped.

Looks like it's one for them, one for him. This is definitely for him and I like it

what exactly is the plot?

  Not in the teaser trailer...thanks God.

  Well, since it's a Tim Burton movie, there won't really be a plot. There will be lots of quirkyness and stripy outfits and misunderstood characters, but no compelling plot or narrative to speak of.

I'm legitimately surprised that Johnny Depp isn't in this.

  oh he will probably in in an uncredited cameo like 21 Jump Street

It looks really nice, but is it really all stop-motion?

I liked it better when I saw it 20 years ago and it was a short film... It was cute and adorable and perfect AS A SHORT FILM. Burton always just takes something that's been done, puts his spin on it. Now he's doing it to his own film.

Burton really loves that dog look. Same one he used in production of 'Family Dog'. For those who don't know what that is, look it up. Animated series done by Brad Bird.
redskulllives

the trailer said the end at the end, so im guessing it was meant to be a short film after all hahaha
Tonker

no thanks , will go see ParaNorman instead....

You know theyll push for a full Vincent movie if this one does well...
Terry Craig

Actually I'm disappointed that this doesn't look more like Burton's "Vincent." I loved this Burton stop-mo short film and the look it had going. The cinematography in Frankenweenie makes it look a little more live-action than the stop-motion it is. And the twisted character of Vincent was way more entertaining and interesting than the round-faced 'likeable' kid in this one. But I really loved the "...or is it?" reference to the original "Frankenweenie" at the end.

Tim Burton seems like he'll be back on track.
