Disney has just unveiled the first photos of Tim Burton’s upcoming animated feature,  “Frankenweenie” which hits Philippine theaters October next year, just in time for Halloween 2012.

From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland”,  ”The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie”, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life – with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out. Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” was filmed in black and white rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

With the screenplay by Burton and John August, the film’s voice cast is lead by Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan and Atticus Shaffer.
