Frankenweenie

For people who check facts
Frankenweenie is one of Tim Burton's earlier films. It is the heartwarming story of a dog who comes back to life after being hit by lightning in order to be with his owner which he loves. The story, accompanied by its darker humour and its angry mob is obviously a Tim Burton film and attempts to display the issues of family values and love -- something he feels may have been missing from his childhood.
