It’s Alive!

Sure, cats may have nine lives, but what about dogs? That’s the question at the center of Walt Disney Pictures and Tim Burton’s newest film about a boy and his dog. But it’s not what you think.

Think more dog + frankenstein kind of story. Still don’t get “Frankenweenie”? Then just watch the newest trailer Disney released above.

It’s a stop-motion, black and white film about how a boy brings his only and beloved dog back to life through “frankenstein-ian” ways. Pretty Tim Burton if we do say so ourselves!

It barks into theaters on October 5, 2012.
