Tim Burton is remaking Frankenweenie. Frankenweenie was originally a short film that he did in 1984. Well he is updating it to a full length feature film.

I am sorry but that has to be the most unfortunate name for a movie. Somehow I would have thought that an adult film would be named that.

I imagine the adult version of the movie would probably be named something much worse!
Frankenf*cker ?
Something like that.
FlacidWeenie is the sequel! [couldnt resist]
Seems like a rather severe alternative to Viagra, don’t you think?
I would just hate to have the electrodes hooked up to it.
I was married to one of those guys once. It wasn’t fun either. Just saying.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Sorry about your luck. Glad it has improved.
I’ve never heard of Frankenweenie. Sounds interesting. So he gets a weenie to rise up??? Sounds like a porn movie
No it is a kid and his dog. But it isn’t a weiner dog, it is a bull terrier so go figure.
Is that a weenie or a leg rising out of your couch potato?
Get your mind out of the gutter…it’s a leg haha
Considering the topic of this cartoon, it sure doesn’t look like it.
No you can’t UNSEE it.
I thought the same thing 🙁
I admire Tim’s original take on things and his ability to make his movies with his personal vision but I don’t usually like the movies very much. Maybe this one will be different.
So I am not the only one who doesn’t get the fascination with Nightmare before Christmas.
I thought Frankenweenie was pretty good.
Never did see the original
I don’t find it too bad but I’m sure teen boys will have fun with it.
I think the most sexually named movie was “the spy who shagged me”. What not just replace “shagged” with “screwed”? I’m surprised they got away with it but then again 007 tangled with pussy galore.
Octopussy. Ha was writing that before I saw your last line.
As long as we don’t see a stitched-together weenie we should be all right. After all, it can’t be any worse than most of Tim Burton’s latest movies.
Planet of the Apes was good.
Yeah, but that Alice movie?…UGH.
I see that the poster proclaims “From the director of Alice in Wonderland”. Is that a warning to the audience?
It was pretty bad.
Hmmm, wasn’t Frankenweenie the subtitle of the movie John Wayne Bobbit made years ago?
haha…wouldn’t doubt it.
Hahaha…
considering how we usually seem to ‘agree’ on films, I’ll wait for your official review before I decide to watch it or not.
🙂
I am the Roger Ebert of the Blogosphere.
That is a really bad name. You think Disney would have asked to change the name or something.
Sorry about the delay. Your last two posts were in the spam book.
That sucks
hahah!!! this was definitely an inappropriate name!
Exactly
I loved, loved, loved the original short. I want to get excited about this one, but every time I watch the preview or see screen shots and the dog appears…well there it is “Family Dog”, a blatant rip off of the Family Dog character. Then I start missing “Amazing Stories” and the Family Dog series and I get sad.
I was so hoping the dog would look at least similar to the Bull Terrier used in the original short and not be a blatant rip off of another loved character from my childhood. I know, get over it dude, folks do it all the time, but seriously…Tim Burton can’t come up with an original concept for the dog. Come On! Getting off my soap box.
Not familiar with this one so for others who aren’t http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Dog_(TV_series)
Looks exactly like that dog.
Hmm. Sleep would be a good alternative to a Tim Burton movie. Why didn’t I think of that for Batman?
I loved the original batman. Once I got over the fact that it wasn’t like the tv show.
Remaking a movie that he did as a short, eh?
Must mean that no one in Hollywood wants his sorry ass for a director anymore.
He doesn’t seem to be starving.
Probably not.
But it seems that if a director (or a musician for that matter) needs to redo somthing that he’s already done because he has nothing else lined up, then maybe he should pause and give serious thought about why he’s trying to do this in the first place.
No I look it as a director who had no money in the beginning to do the movie he wanted. Now that he can get backing he can go back and do his pet project.
Are you sure that’s a leg, Bearman? Any why do all the tonos only have one arm?
That would be toons!!!!!
Because I am trying to save INK. And that is a LEG…otherwise it wouldn’t be “dead”
Admit it, this is a subversive X-rated toon you’re trying to foist on us!
I admit nothing. Everything I do is subtle
I’m with Binky, you are trying to corrupt us 🙄
Too late.
Bearman, dig this one. You are an amazing writer… you did a SFW cartoon that’s still TOO funny and right on the mark. Bravo, as always
Thanks Miss R. Especially considering your last post was NSFW!!!!! haha
I must see this movie. As for the sleeping…ya, that’s me. It takes a lot to wake me up.
I am usually all over this but I would have to see more than what I saw in the preview.
HAH! …. I couldn’t do this one any better! [applauds]
You could…you just are lazy.
Stop kabitizing with my wife! [grin] … now if you’ll excuse me, this response has tired me out… NAP!
“kabitzing” isn’t it “kibitzing”?
Well, look at you Mr. Grammar Police and your big fancy spelling book! [wink] …spellcheck didnt have it in its dictionary and I was to lazy to check it! [smirk]
Jeez. That’s almost as bad of a name as FrankenSchlong
THERE IS the next adult film title.
Ha ha ha! I showed this comic to my husband and he wanted to know what I was implying…sheez, all I did was show it to him!
Well that depends on if this is the FIRST one of my cartoons you have shared with him.
