The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists

Very interesting is the stop motion feature "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists"
Stop motion shorts and features seem to be "in fashion" those years. Not only are they features films released over the world but they also have big budgets and made using advanced technology at the same time using traditional techniques.

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.

A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

Release date: October 5, 2012
