When Tim Burton made a billion dollars and more with Alice in Wonderland for Disney the roadkill kid returned in style. Welcomed back to the fold with open chequebooks Burton set about laying the foundations to revisit an old friend whose presence is easily found in his filmography and whose story he had told once [...]
The Oscars are almost upon us, and the past few weeks have treated us to the shortlists competing in a number of categories, including Best Animated Feature, Best Visual Effects, Best Documentary, and Best Original Score. With the nominations announcement creeping ever closer at the start of next month, the Academy have now announced a [...]
This year will mark the twelfth year that the Academy Awards have featured the Best Animated Feature category, and now the full list of submissions has been released, totalling twenty-one for this year’s entries for consideration. Last year, Gore Verbinski’s Rango took home the Oscar, fighting off competition in the form of A Cat in [...]
With the London Film Festival drawing to a close last night much has happened since Tim Burton’s latest film opened the festival eleven days ago. His beautiful stop-motion elegy to a dead dog is a perfect companion piece to his original live-action short and the visual and emotional touchstone of his work in between have [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, dry those tears and cease your fretting, after a few weeks off due to a thoroughly deserved holiday (it was lovely, thanks for asking), the HeyUGuys cinema guide makes its glorious return. I imagine while I’ve been away you have simply left the multiplex well alone for fear of choosing poorly without [...]
Film sets are chaotic places. Even on the best run, even during a take, there’s a sense that all hell could break loose any second. Indeed, if it weren’t for the ever-vigilant AD department, on most sets it probably would. Which is why the sense of quiet calm that hangs over this corner of 3 [...]
“A character has to last for a year or more of shooting, and as you’ll see, some of these things are very delicate, so we do quite a lot of hospital work, repairing things, and putting limbs back on where they’ve fallen off, or broken ears or fingers, remaking parts; just keeping them up to [...]
Ostensibly, Tim Burton’s latest stop-motion animated feature Frankenweenie may not have looked like the most fitting choice to open yesterday’s 56th BFI London Film Festival, but this Disney co-production is very much a UK-led venture. It was filmed at the 3 Mills Studios in East London by a team of talented home-grown artists and primarily brought [...]
In this stop motion retelling of his 1984 short film Tim Burton returns to the inkwell once again and the result is a beautifully made and touching film. Fuelled by childish fears and dreams and augmented with the dizzying displays of surreal fantasy the director is famous for Frankenweenie is a triumphant return. The plastic [...]
For those familiar with the Alamo Drafthouse and their now 8 year old, blossoming Festival, the words Fantastic Fest conjure up all sorts of morbidly twisted imagery. It’s kind of a sick spin on the often cited Internet Rule 34, except in this case, it’s broadened to include the whole gamut of grotesqueness that one [...]
Announced last month as the Opening Night Film of the BFI London Film Festival next month, we’ve seen plenty of great things from Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie already. The film is a feature-length remake of Burton’s own 1984 short film of the same name, and now a new clip featuring our hero, Victor, and his beloved [...]
I can’t wait to see Tim Burton’s retelling of his 1984 short Frankenweenie. It’s the only reason I’ll accept Dark Shadows into the world, and the early buzz from those who have seen it is very encouraging. So, with an Opening Gala for the London Film Festival in our future there’s no better time to [...]
The BFI have just announced that their opening film for the 2012 London Film Festival will be Tim Burton’s 3D stop-motion update of his 1984 short Frankenweenie. The film will also have a ‘simultaneous premiere’ in 30 cinemas across the country, a move recently used for the BFI’s current Hitchcock season, and a welcome addition [...]
This year, we’ll be treated to not one but two stop-motion animated films in the form of LAIKA’s ParaNorman and Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie. We caught a great new trailer for the latter when it went to Comic-Con earlier this month, and now we’ve got a great new set of posters, as well as a new [...]
They are throwing these trailer out of Comic-Con at a cracking rate so without further ado here’s the ‘tribute trailer’ to Tim Burton’s 3D stop motion reworking of Frankenweenie. If you missed it earlier today there’s also a neat poster displaying much of the same spirit as this new trailer, check that one out here. [...]
Expect a whole lot of these Comic-Con specials over the next few days and let’s hope they are as cool as this one. Tim Burton’s 3D resurrection of his ’84 short Frankenweenie is out here on the 17th of October and as well as a few very nice galleries and a couple of great trailers [...]
Disney have unveiled a new trailer for Tim Burton feature length reanimation of his 1984 short Frankenweenie and there’s a clear focus on the film’s set up here. If you missed them do check out the official character portraits and bios which were released recently as they not only give you a good idea of [...]
Tim Burton’s blank cheque from Disney (courtesy of the Bank of Wonderland) is being put to good use as the director is revisiting an old friend in the form of Victor and Sparky in the 3D world of Frankenweenie and the studio have unveiled the characters in a new gallery. These character portraits are shot [...]
Disney have just sent over details of a brand new ‘Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition’ which is set to tour multiple countries before ending up at Comic Con 2012 in San Diego. Frankenweenie is Tim Burton’s new 3D black and white stop-motion animation which lands in UK cinemas 5th October later this year. Below is a [...]
With Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows due out in cinemas this weekend, it might be easy to forget that we have a second film of Burton’s to look forward to this year. Due out in October, the 3D stop-motion black and white film sees Burton remaking his own 1984 short film, and after the excellent first [...]
