A boy and his dog can be the making of a very special friendship. I should know, I had a dog as a boy. I grew up with him, we both became adults, and I was at his side when he passed. He was my best friend, my partner in crime, and the eater of my leftovers. I could heavily relate to this movie, I know the lengths a boy would go to keep his dog safe. I to have made sacrifices to keep my friend safe; but that's a whole other bucket of crazy I don't want to dive into. Frankenweenie is such a film, showing the friendship between a boy and his dog. The stars of Frankenweenie are Martin Short, Martin Landau, Winona Ryder and Charlie Tahan. The director is, Tim Burton, you know who that is. I walked out of the theater unsatisfied, as if something was missing. The best thing I can compare this movie to is chicken...strange I know, but I did think about it. I love chicken, but this movie was like eating dry chicken. It wasn't juicy, it lacked flavor, and had no impact on me. The plot was fine, very rushed, but, fine. The art was very similar to Corpse Bride, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I really liked the art, if you are sensitive, this movie IS in black and white. I thought it was a nice touch, but if it bothers your eyes I wouldn't recommend it in 3D. If you have read my reviews, you know my views on 3D. The movie didn't need it, it wasn't eye-popping, no scenes that stood out. I did love the characters, but what I didn't see was any growth or development of any of them. Minus all of the grave robbing, this movie was cute at best, but not memorable. I want to like this movie, but the rushed feel of the plot, and the lack of any real development of the characters kind of halts any real fondness I may carry for it. But, again, it's a kids movie. I give Frankenweenie a 2 out of 4. We arrived late and I missed the trailer for the new Wizard of OZ movie. DAMN YOU Wendy's and your Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers! But on a more serious note, don't dig up your dead pets and electrocute them. It's a little weird.
