It says 92 on here, but this is from 84 actually. You can see by this short film how great a director Burton was already. If you're a fan of his, I highly recommend this dark comedy.
Young Victor decides to re-animate his dead dog, which then terrorizes his idyllic 50s neighborhood in this 30 minute B&W early short from Tim Burton. There are few surprises in this obvious Frankenstein spoof, except how surprisingly charming the whole thing is.
This unknown and overlooked film is quite simply the most "Burtonesque" of Tim Burton's films, and paradoxially, the most charming.
Ben Frankenstein: I guess we can't punish Victor for bringing Sparky back from the dead.
Another of Tim Burton's short films. This one even has a quirky cast and a homage to the old story of Frankenstein. It's funny, dark and made for families. Just what I like to see.
