Frankenweenie

Directed by Tim Burton

With Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, Barret Oliver, Joseph Maher and Roz Braverman

When young Victor's pet dog Sparky (who stars in Victor's homemade monster movies) is hit by a car, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been.
