If the recent poster wasn’t enough to send a thousand odd volts of excitement through your weary bones then perhaps this new image from the new version of Frankenweenie will.

Disney must still be swimming in the coin collected from their last dalliance with Tim Burton and while Frankenweenie almost certainly won’t make the billion or so that Alice in Wonderland did it’s good to see Burton returning to his roots with, as the synopsis has it, what is

a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses 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, but 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.

A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

Yahoo Movies debuted this new picture from the production and then teased us with this tweet…

That’s something like 6pm UK time. Possibly. I’ll check. Leave it with me. Here’s the pic.

And then I threw this one in because I’ve not seen it before and I think it’s pretty cool.
