Sparky Lives in a Clip From Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie'Sparky Lives in a Clip From Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie'

Anyone who lost the boon companionship of their beloved dog as a youngster will find some emotional resonance in Frankenweenie, the latest stop-motion animated feature from Tim Burton, the producer of The Nightmare Before Christmas and director of Corpse Bride.  The film finds a young, suburban Victor Frankenstein getting more than he bargained for when he resurrects his recently deceased dog, Sparky.

A new second clip from Frankenweenie has landed online, showing off an emotional minute from early in the black and white film.

Last week, Disney unveiled the first clip from the movie, introducing Mr. Rzykruski, the unconventional science teacher voiced by Martin Landau.  Mr. Rzykruski held court on lightning, which is presumably used as the elixir of life that brings Victor's pup back into the realm of the quick.  This new clip doesn't show a lightning strike, opting instead for the tender moments after Victor's big gamble.  A hole in the attic ceiling makes it clear just how Sparky gets his groove back.

The clip is also available in high definition at Yahoo! Movies.

Burton's second theatrical feature this year is actually based on his 1984 short film starring Daniel Stern and Shelley Duvall.  Burton, an animator at Disney and not yet a director at the time, apparently turned in a black and white short that the studio simply didn't know what to do with.  Now that he's globally-successful brand Tim Burton, however, Disney invested in a feature film version.

Charlie Tahan provides the voice for Victor Frankenstein, while Burton veterans Landau, Catherine O'Hara, and Winona Ryder lend assistance as Rzykruski, Susan Frankenstein, and Elsa van Helsing.  Christopher Lee, Martin Short, Tom Kenny, Atticus Shaffer, and Robert Capron also offer their voices.

Frankenweenie arrives in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on October 5th, meaning there's not much time to get your Rogue 3D Eyewear.
