When you want to do something, the whole world will help you - "but only if it's for good". This is the parting teaching of Frankenstein teacher and Victor in the movie.
The little science genius Victor got enlightened in the teacher's frog electric induction experiment. Wisdom brought back the dog Sparky who died in a car accident. However, after being seen by a molester child, he had no choice but to resurrect a fish. It was a school science competition. All kinds of human struggles and karma are deduced in the world.
I like that the crosses made of bones in the cemetery and the various tomb shapes are rendered even more bizarre by 3D, and I also laughed at the part where "Mr. Cat Whiskers" was turned into a bat by electric shock. The only shortcoming is that the ending is perfect, and it follows the Hollywood reunion routine. It is understandable that this is to protect the hearts of children watching the movie. Forgive me, the cruel audience. The story should end when Victor cried on his dog SPARKY: "I know, you don't have to come back to this world. Rest well. Let's go!" At this point, the camera stopped at the two lines of tears on Victor's cheeks...

    It might be better if Sparky is not resurrected at the end

Frankenweenie quotes

  • Mayor Burgemeister: As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children.

    Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace!

    New Holland Townsfolk: She's right. He's crazy!

    New Holland Townsfolk II: Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules!

    Mrs. Frankenstien: In fairness, he didn't write the textbook.

  • Victor Frankenstien: Where's Mr. Rzykruski?

    Gym Teacher: All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester.

    Elsa Van Helsing: Do you know anything about science?

    Gym Teacher: I know more than you do.

    Bob: Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot.

    Gym Teacher: Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem.

    Victor Frankenstien: What about the science fair?

    Gym Teacher: Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!
