    From the delightfully macabre mind of Tim Burton comes Frankenweenie. Put this movie on to give your kids an introduction to the classic Mary Shelley story with an adorable twist. Your kids will enjoy the animation style while you'll be entertained by an incredible array of talented performances by Winona Ryder, Christopher Lee, and Michael Keaton.

    In Tim Burton's animated flick Frankenweenie, young Victor Frankenstein (Charlie Tahan) navigates the tricky terrain of childhood, friendship, and loss. When his beloved dog Sparky dies, Victor's scientific curiosity leads him to bring Sparky back to life. The result? A revitalized canine that sparks fear and fascination in equal measure among Victor's neighbors in this monochrome suburbia. Catherine O'Hara lends her voice to three characters, including Victor's mother. Winona Ryder voices Elsa Van Helsing, a neighbor girl with an eerie pet. A nod to Mary Shelley's classic tale, this movie mingles horror and comedy with a dash of heartwarming sentimentality. It snagged the BAFTA Children's Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2013.
    • Actors: Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer
    • Released: 2012
    • Directed by: Tim Burton
