Movie No. 17 (2013): FRANKENWEENIE
Frankenweenie (2012)
Director: Tim Burton
Voice cast: Winona Ryder, Martin Short
Bleak cinematography is the trademark of Tim Burton films, be it live action or animation. And it's used used in this film very well. The story is very basic: a boy, using science, brings his dog back to life. And the consequences of such act comprise the major narrative of the film. The film is complete with the necessary ingredients of a film of this kind - supportive parents, an irritating neighbor, a mad professor, envy classmates, unlikely creatures likable or not, and the finale that always involve rescue.
Yes, I can say that this film is a homage to Frankenstein.
Memorable quote from this film: People are afraid of science, but they like want science gives.
This film is a nominee in the Best Animated Feature Film category of this year's Academy Awards for films shown in 2012.
