Tim Burton made his original Frankenweenie film, a short subject, in 1984, when he was working in the animation department at Disney. The studio was displaeased by its dark tone, Burton left, and became a famous filmmaker – whereupon Disney, being a corporation, proudly released the short on home video in 1992. This full-length movie is a vastly expanded remake, with a much bigger story, amuch bigger budget, and much bigger cast providing the voices, including Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau and Winona Ryder. Tim Burton directs.
