ZoeMovieReviews: Frankenweenie


Frankenweenie

fw2.png






This is a 2012 American 3D stop-motion-animated fantasy film directed by Tim Burton.  It is a remake of Burton's 1984 short film of Frankenweenie and it is a parody of homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley's book Frankenweenie. This film is in black and white. It is also the fourth stop-motion film produced by Burton and the first of those four that is not a musical.

 

The Plot

This is a heart-warming tale about a boy and his dog. After surprisingly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor seams 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 and 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.

Frankenweenie is such a great and very touching Disney film. I really liked it; well I like almost all the Disney films to be honest with you. This one is so much more different then all the Disney films – it’s a lot darker than all the other ones.

 

I liked that throughout this film the theme of it stayed the same. This meaning that all the characters looked similar, atmosphere of the film is the same throughout – very dark toned. I liked that it was in black and white, but still very good.

 

I really liked ‘sparky’ the dog in this film he was my favourite character in the film. That was a bit annoying because ‘sparky’ dies a few times in this film. Literally every time he died I actually cried a bit – I never usually cry at a film but this one I did. He is such a sweet and likeable dog.

 

I liked in this film that all the characters had a bit of some sort of creepy element to them. It suited the film well. I also liked the fact in this film there were characters you cared about and characters you didn’t care about – as they weren’t all that nice.

In this film there were some very touching scenes. This film may make you cry if you love dogs or any type of animal/pet. For example: when ‘sparky’ dies and young Victor cries because of it. When the poodle next door was sad because ‘sparky’ was gone and she’d miss playing ball under fence with him.

 

The score to this film was alright. The end credits score not so much. The plot of this film was a great idea but needed to elaborate on it a bit more. Some of the characters were a bit annoying but they didn’t bother me too much.

 

Overall, I really enjoyed this film. I think it’s more of a ‘unique’ Disney film and could be slightly underrated. This film isn’t for everyone if they can’t cope with a dog dying in a film. I would recommend this to older teenagers and above as there are some scenes younger children might not like. This is for anyone who is a big fan of Disney and likes Tim Burton’s films. This is a film worth checking out!!

Rating: 8/10

ZoeMovieReviews: Grave Encounters

Grave Encounters   This is a 2011 Canadian supernatural horror film, shot found footage style.   The Plot   For their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.   Wow this probably one of the more decent and better found footage films I have seen in a long time.   I liked the whole idea that it was part of their ghost hunting reality show – thought that was cool.   At the start when the host was interviewing people, the part when he ask a man if he has seen any ghosts or anything like that and just gives him 20 bucks to pretend to say that he has. That was so funny!   The acting was really good in this.   I find that this film has a lot more interesting and creepy stuff than any of those paranormal activity films. This film, isn’t scary...
