Tim Burton fans can get a sneak peak at the new feature-length, stop-motion film Frankenweenie this weekend at Toronto’s Fan Expo.
The film is based on a short Burton made nearly 30 years ago. Like the 1984 movie, the new flick follows a young boy named Victor who revives his dead dog using the power of science.
The film, which was shot entirely in black and white, will be shown in 3D at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
This is not the first time Burton’s works have gone on tour. Last year, a collection of his early drawings and costumes from more recent movies were showcased at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. That exhibit was organized New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
The Art of Frankweenie exhibit features real sets and puppets from the movie and will be at Fan Expo from Aug. 23-26. The movie opens in theatres Oct. 5.
