Review rate : A-

“..with this stitching together of material old and new, three decades of familiarity with Burton's obsessions pay off: Frankenweenie is a cool little flipbook of historical Burtonian style..”

by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly]

“..traditional tale of a boy and his dog gets charmingly warped treatment..”

by Justin Chang [Variety]

“..it is a haphazard assemblage of well-aged source materials jolted back to life with new technology, but it isn't quite as sophisticated as one might hope..”

by Kerry Lengel [Arizona Republic]

“..a family-friendly fantasy that will enthrall audiences any time of year..”

by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
