      Death is always the beginning

      I like the kind and handsome little boys in your movie, like those kind and loyal dogs, and also like watching you let those little boys use electric shocks to turn their dogs into zombies~ (laughing)

          Vincent and Frankenweenie are twin flowers, Boys, puppies, fat women, lightning, zombies, the only difference is in one ending. Frankenweenie ended happily, everyone understood, and even love came unexpectedly. Vincent put it bluntly in the fantasy world of a little boy. But what...

      Still Tim Buton Gothic

      I read the Spanish version, and I don’t understand the dialogue at all, but it doesn’t affect the viewing at all.

      The film uses black and white tones to create a horrible gothic atmosphere and to get closer to the original horror film related to "Frankenstan". In fact, it is a warm and childlike story, except that the weird man who was spliced ​​together with the torn apart corpses has become a little "cheese dog". Weenie longed to be loved by everyone as before, but after being...

      Frankenstein

      At that time, Bolton, who did not have enough funds to make a feature film, fully embodied his Gothic style and his imagination different from ordinary people through this short story. He grafted a Frankenstein-style story with a cute puppy and formed a unique story. A unique fairy tale that is not terrifying but rather affectionate. The fly in the ointment is that because it is a short story, the character creation is very hasty. The neighbours went from hating to set it on fire to working...

      This is an inspirational story. In 1984, Disney stopped financial support for the little-known 26-year-old director, thinking that his style was too dark and children would not like it. 28 years later, Disney can't wait to put the logo on the opening of Frankenstein. The unfinished young dream, the scene is almost restored. The little girl with long legs is Sophia...
