If you also have a puppy, would you love him\her and treat him\she like your family? My answer is yes! Although she is very greedy, snorting when sleeping, and sometimes doing bad things, such as tearing up the roll paper, secretly eating my snacks, biting the stool, barking inexplicably... But I still treat her as my family , This is why I am moved every time I watch a movie about dogs. That's why I can understand the feelings of Victor kids in the movie. If one day, I want to lose my dog, I will definitely not give up and I will be very sad. If there is a chance to bring the dog back to life, I will go crazy and drag my family back from the ghost gate!
This black and white stop-motion animation film is Bolton’s second 3D movie shot at Disney. The previous one was "Alice in Wonderland". "Frankenstein" is a remake of the movie, whose original is Bolton's live-action short film of the same name. It has always been Bolton’s wish to put "Frankenstein" on the screen using stop-motion animation. Disney met Bolton and his style changed from gorgeous to a little horrible. Fortunately, this movie has a Disney-style happy ending. The film is longer than the 1984 version of the short film. The beginning of the story tells the relationship basis between the boy and the dog. Victor is a little boy who likes science. At the beginning of the film, he showed his very talented scene. Show his parents the movie he shot, and the protagonist of the movie is his puppy Sparky. Sparky's curiosity about the world complements his master Victor. Like all dogs, he likes to chase the ball, has endless vitality and enthusiasm, of course, he also loves his master very much.
An accident caused Sparky to be hit and killed by a car, but the little master came up with an idea because of an experiment conducted by the teacher of the nature class-to revive Sparky with an electric shock! Everything went smoothly, but there is always a big villain who wants to make trouble in every story, just as every story has a fat guy (of course not at all), Victor’s classmates discovered his secret, and they started to do it "crazy". The electric shock scientific experiment resulted in the birth of a group of monsters. Because doing experiments, if there is no "heart", the results will be different. Although Victor used his wit to solve those big troubles, people still blamed all their sins on the resurrected Sparky. It was not until Sparky heroically rescued Elsa and rescued the collapsed Victor from the fire that people were loyal to this loyalty. The little guy was moved. Seeing Sparky saving the master, I cried again (I cried when I watched the short film). He is really a brave and good boy.
I guess Tim Burton must not like cats. In this "Frankenstein", he turned the cat into a vampire bat cat, and he ended up very sadly. The brave puppy Sparky was rescued by everyone.
In fact, as early as "Zombie Bride", Sparky's "figure" has appeared. The hero of this story about the zombie bride is also called Victor. He did meet his pet dog Sparky underground, of course, that It's a bunch of bone dogs. Bolton seems to have a soft spot for the two names Victor and Edward~
This movie is also somewhat ironic. The teacher of the nature class said that ignorant people treat science as monsters. The behavior of the people in the small town just confirmed this sentence.
The song by Karen O at the end of the movie is really awesome! I watched Bolton’s two movies this year, "Dark Shadows" and this black and white stop motion animation. Although I kept sighing that Bolton’s old man is also eating his money, he still watched them with relish. Compared to "Dark Shadow", I like this stop-motion animation more. The dubbing and character set have the feeling of "Zombie Bride". It is a dark fairy tale, but there are still good and beautiful elements in the bones.
