New Frankenweenie still arrives, plus news about the first trailer

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Here’s something for the folks out there who can’t get enough FRANKENWEENIE treats: a new still from the animated Tim Burton flick. Check it out above and ponder its meaning…

You should also know that the first trailer for the resurrected-pooch movie will arrive tomorrow, March 1st! It hits around 1pm ET, so you’d better believe we’ll have it up soon after.


The stop-motion animated film 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. 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.

Coming out in 3D on OCTOBER 5th, FRANKENWEENIE features the vocal talents of Winona Ryder (pictured below), Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron and Conchata Ferrell.
