Photo Flash: Tim Burton & Cast of FRANKENWEENIE Open BFI London Film Festival

Tim Burton's new animated film FRANKENWEENIE opened the BFI London Film Festival last night. Burton and the film's cast were on hand for opening night of the Festival held at London's Tobacco Dock. Check out photos below!

 

From creative genius Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) comes Frankenweenie, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life--with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous. The cast features Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron and Conchata Ferrell.
