Tom Charity
Tim Burton's most enjoyable movie in a long time.
Christopher Orr
Burton's best film since 1994's Ed Wood or even 1990's Edward Scissorhands.
Dave Calhoun
This is a Tim Burton film with something to say. And that's a rare and precious thing.
Stephen Whitty
The stop-motion animation - a favorite tool of Burton's - is given loving attention, and the character design is full of terrific touches, such as the hulking flat-topped schoolmate who looks a bit like a certain man-made monster.
Connie Ogle
The best thing about an animated monster movie with this much heart is: It's alive. In the best possible way.
Richard Corliss
This 3-D, black-and-white "family" comedy is the year's most inventive, endearing animated feature.

Designed to appeal to both discriminating adults and older kids, the gorgeous, black-and-white stop-motion film is a fresh, clever and affectionate love letter to classic horror movies.
User reviews
The truth about this movie is black and white. Sucks. Should've taut kids the value of life with its central theme being losing a beloved pet, but instead boils down to a cheap monster chase where every body else's pets (strangely morbid, and unfair, isn't it?) stay dead, but Victors dog miraculously lives on. What's miraculous is I thought this was going to be an instant classic, with hard truths, but it ended up being a pile of well animated feel-good crap they push on kids these days. A shame, really. Frankenweenie had such potential...
Too sad My real names Natalie and I'm 11 this movie scared and cryed the heck out of me as an extreme animal lover this movie was just wrong for me when sparky got hit by the car and victor cryed out "Sparky NO" I was cying so hard and you really shoudnt mess with things that are dead it always ends up bad but what was the point in this movie other than to make animal lovers bawl their eyes out
I LOVE IT! <3 I saw this movie and I love it! I said to my mother I am going to buy this movie!, it's a little bit sad in the beginning but at the end it has a happy ending and even has a message, the message is that when you do the things with love the things you do will be accomplished, that's how the boy could revive his dog Sparky.
Unfit for conservative viewers I cannot justify letting kids see such a movie. It is dark, in poor taste, and puts disturbing ideas and images in one's mind. A sewn up dead dog, zapping a dead animal in school, cadaverous human characters - sick. Frankenstein was nothing like Wenie. Frank' is a social/life values commentary, versus farce n gallows humor in Wenie.
Gotta Love Sparky A must see for dog lovers. As the proud owners of a 6lb Chi-Weenie (also named Sparky) this was a must see and then we ended up buying it. This little dog was just great and the story line was magnificent. Children and adults of all ages will enjoy endlessly watching this movie. Tim Burton does great on animation and almost 30 yrs. later Sparky hits the big screen. See it you will not regret it, unless you do not like little doggies and this one is smart, plus a life-saver.:-)
My lil boy loves this movie since my lil one was 9 months he would watch this movie without moving or crying. ♡ this is the only movie he would and not move, he loves sports too... he is going to be 1 years old at the end of this month... I wanted to make his birthday party frankenweenie but couldnt found anything
