I know, I know, it’s only August, but before you know it October will be at our door!! Mom and I were excited when we were contacted by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. They wanted to tell us about their new film FRANKENWEENIE A Film By TIM BURTON of (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) fame! They asked if we would tell you about this film and we are happy to oblige.
The movie is about Tim Burton’s OWN relationship with his childhood dog, (Sparky).

It is a heart-warming tale, which was filmed in all black & white (that in itself is pretty cool!) and it is animated. FRANKENWEENIE (yep, keep FRANKENSTEIN in your mind!) Follows “Victor” (Tim Burton as a child), and how he dealt with the unexpected loss of his beloved dog Sparky and how he tried to bring him back to life. Get ready for some “unintended, monstrous consequences!!!”
Check out the trailer below:
Mom is also going to be attending an advanced screening in our area and when she goes we will be sure to tell you all about it!! I sure wish that I could go!
Barks and licks and Walt Disney love,
Dakota
We were not compensated for this post. However, the advanced screening will be free. Mom is greatly looking forward to it!

I simply can’t watch a movie in which a dog dies. I become a complete blubbering idiot.
This is Mom, I am the same but I think in this one the dog might already have passed when the movie starts, but I am not sure about that, xoxoxo
Looking forward to your review. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Molly that was sooo sweet! Thank you! Barks and licks and love, Dakota and Mom and YOU have a “wonderful wednesday” too!
It isn’t fair that you can’t go, Dakota!

I’ll be waiting for your Mom’s review! If it’s a good one I’ll be taking the kids to the movie theater!
@Jen now THAT’S A LOT of pressure on Mom! BOL!!! She had better like it!!!! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
An all black and white cartoon? Hmm..I wonder if it will keep kids attention? Interesting. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Well Simba, this is Dakota’s Mom here…when I was a kid….ALL TV was black & White and it sure kept MY attention! And…this isn’t “traditional” animation (it isn’t a cartoon)….being that the movie has a monster theme (which many kids love)…it will have a creepy, Halloween effect which should go over big but we will see, you could be right, one never knows! Nevertheless it sure sounds interesting! Have a great rest of your day!
Ohhh! Ok I see…interesting! Well enjoy it!
Thanks!! Not to mention, as I mentioned to Snoopy above…have you ever seen the movie Young Frankenstein? That is entirely in black & white and is a hilarious classic!!! Hey, cut me some slack…I’m older than dirt…… Love, “Mom”
No I haven’t ever seen that…might have to check them both out..I might be missing out! I have watched black and white shows…I Love Lucy! So your slack is cut! LOL I’m sure you’re not older than dirt!!!! 😛
Ummm….yes I am 🙂 Love, Mom
Oh it looks amazing!! Yes please do tell us all about it!! We really really would like to see this – it sounds so sweet!! Take care
x
Old Kitty I love your enthusiasm too!!! I promise I will!!!! Love, “Mom”
oh my cat!! Dakota!!! It is still so hot here..to think of October is hard MOL Savannah
Savannah it is cooling off here, maybe it will for you too?? Mom LOVES October, it’s her favorite month! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
OMD! This is so exciting! We’re major Tim Burton fans here, looking furward to a terrific film. Love that it’s in Black & white….very dramatic!
Hi Prudence!! Mom is sooo looking forward to it too! We agree with you about the Black & White, that will be super dramatic! Barks and licks and love, Dakota and Mom
Hey Dakota,
Maybe it’s a good thing you don’t get to go to the movies, cos if there are any sad bits no-one will see you crying?! 🙂
I’ve never seen a Black and White movie – should be cool – loved seeing him playing with his ball in the trailer – I thought maybe they’d have kept the ball yellow, but nope, everything was Black and White! 🙂
Have fun,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Snoopy my Mom can’t get over that you have NEVER seen a BLACK & WHITE movie!? Tell your Mum to rent Young Frankenstein….it’s hilarious!!!!
Yeah I for sure don’t want to cry!!
Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Hay’s Dakota…don’t forgets ya photie..wez had to put numbers on our bloggie 😦 wez explained it all .
Big hugs
xx00xx
Hi Mollie! Yep I saw it, thanks!! Not sure if I have time to enter but I thank you for the reminder, might just let Cody be the only entry this time. Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Love Tim Burton films, but not a movie goes. Will have to keep my eye out for that one when it finally reaches Netflix. 🙂
Donna don’t feel bad. My Mom hasn’t been to a movie in forever! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
ow how wonderful, your mom is so famous…having disney studio calling her is really awesome!!
I havent heard of this animation before, I will try to see it when it gets here 🙂
Ohhh Nooooooooooo Novroz! Mom isn’t famous at all!!!!! No way!!! No, Disney didn’t call her, someone from their promotion department emailed her. Mom has no power!!! BOL! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
