Tim Burton - Tim Burton Premieres Extra 'Frankenweenie' Footage At Comic-con

'Frankenweenie' tells the story of a young boy, Victor, who uses science to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life to disastrous consequences. Featuring a handful of actors Burton has notably worked with in past flicks, such as Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short and Martin Landau, 'Frankenweenie' has been inspired by various classic horrors, the most apparent of which is of course 'Frankenstein'.

Burton is noted for his signature dark themes in movies and quirky style of animation such as in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and 'Corpse Bride. He is often associated with using his partner Helena Bonham Carter and Golden Globe winner Johnny Depp repeatedly in his movies, for example 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' and 'Alice in Wonderland'.
