Finally, Tim Burton's celebrated short
film “Frankenweenie” has been turned into a feature. And I was
so looking forward to seeing the longer version.
It's very similar to the original
short, naturally, but the ending has been bulked up with the addition
of all sorts of characters going crazy because of the hero's
classmates tampering with his scientific born-again experiments.
The animation is wonderful – as are
the sets and characters (by McKinnon & Saunders). But, for some
reason, my brain shut down three quarters of the way through the
film. So perhaps the story should have remained a short film.
I give “Frankenweenie” a B - .
