A new movie poster surfaced today on Disney’s Frankenweenie facebook page.
The poster shows a stitched-up version of the main character Sparky, a dog that is brought back to life Frankenstein-style by his master Victor, happily standing in front of a giant full moon. The poster is mostly black and white with only a touch of color on the copy (much like the poster for Disney’s Paperman).
The official synopsis for the film states:
From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” 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. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.
A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” was filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.
Frankenweeknie is set for US release on October 5, 2012. Just in time for the haunting Halloween season.
Are you excited to see Frankenweenie? Or are you more excited to see Laika’s spooky film ParaNorman?
