Tim Burton talks “Frankenweenie” animated movie (video) October 8, 2012 - 19:57 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Tim Burton has insisted that his new animated movie Frankenweenie is not gruesome, Digital Spy said. Speaking to Reuters, Burton explained that Frankenweenie is child-friendly in spite of its story about a dog's supernatural resurrection. "There's no yelping and screaming. No bodies being crushed. I felt like it's the safest and most positive way to explore those themes," the director stressed. "It's more of a fantasy, a wish fulfilment. Do I really want to bring my dead dog back? My dead grandmother? My dead parents? Not really." Burton also discussed the stop-motion technology used in Frankenweenie, a process which can be very time-consuming. "[The clay dogs] break a lot. We had a puppet hospital because there's a lot of wear and tear," he joked. The filmmaker added: "The mouth splits, things open up, there are tears in the legs and you need more stitching [constantly]." Burton was recently credited by Frankenweenie star Wynona Ryder with launching her career. Frankenweenie is now playing in the U.S. and opens on October 17 in the UK.
