Frankenweenie (Tim Burton, 2012): USA

Reviewed by: Alexander Berg Viewed at: The Arlington, Santa Barbara.

This movie is creepy, dark and sad,

yet it’s for children is this director mad?

It’s a story about a boys love for his pet,

especially your children will love it I bet!

Tim Burton is the one who has directed this movie,

who else but him can make a film like this so groovy.

 

A tragic day his dog get’s killed by a car,

but be not afraid rescue is not too far.

The boy will do anything to once again hear his dog bark,

he ties him up on the roof and waits for lightning to spark.

The dog comes to life but looks like a wreck,

the dog is full of stitches and has bolts through his neck.

He must prove that Sparky is what he was before,

and not just some puppet filled with gore.

When his classmate sees what his friend has done,

he want’s to do the same and so the story has begun.

 

This movie has humor, whit and joy,

after seeing this movie I wish I once again was a young boy!

Because more than a kids movie I would not say it is,

because choosing between Burtons other films I would not choose this!

The scenes are stunning, you’ll love what you see,

the film is as beautiful as it can be.

The music is perfect I’m really a fan,

suit’s the films theme good job Danny Elfman.

Sure the story is sweet and compelling,

but simple it is, I think it’s mostly for selling.

The structure and characters are something we’ve seen before,

it works if you’re young but I want to see something more!

Despite what I said I think this film you should see,

but you wont need to worry because an easy ride it will be.
