What is Frankenweenie about? Toggle content

Meet Sparky, an ordinary family dog who becomes Frankenweenie, a reanimated canine after a freak accident. Victor, his young owner, brings him back to life using his scientific skills, but things get out of hand when Sparky escapes and frightens their neighbors. The Frankensteins must introduce Sparky to the neighbors to quell their suspicions, but things don't go as planned. Sparky runs away and finds himself at an abandoned miniature golf course where he rescues Victor from a fire, but is crushed by the burning windmill. The neighbors realize their mistake and use their cars to "recharge" Sparky, who is revived and falls in love with a poodle. This description highlights the unique premise of the movie, emphasizes the adventures of Sparky and Victor, and touches on the themes of scientific experimentation gone awry and the importance of friendship and love.
