Synopsis: Little Victor Frankenstein is upset when his beloved dog dies. He will bring it back thanks to a scientific experiment with lightning.
Review: The full-feature length remake of a short by Tim Burton of the same name, dated 1984. I read that it was not really useful, and tend to agree. Are present the usual Burton characters of sad boy and gothic girl, and the plot is a good idea, but some scenes feel a bit stretched. The animation is nice and in spite of the black and white, it is less depressing than Corpse Bride. The kids characters and their reactions are not so funny, but I liked the behavior of the dog, quite touching.
Rating: 5 /10
