Tim Burton's debut short film is a very entertaining and amusing picture that for thirty minutes, gives us a glimpse of what Tim Burton would be able to accomplish with feature length movies. The film is a well acted impressive half hour of fun entertainment, and reinvents the classic horror tale of Frankenstein with a dog. The result is a fine short picture that is a must see for Tim Burton fans. I really enjoyed this take on the classic monster tale, and for a short film, it is very well done and is entertaining throughout. For me anyways, I found this one to be flawless and what made it stand out was the fine cast of talented actors who made it what it is. I liked that it had a classic vibe to it, like old school monster movies, and it made it enjoyable for people of all ages. This isn't scary whatsoever, and is quite frankly a bit underrated. Tim Burton would later craft bigger films, but I really think that this one is pretty special because it is quirky, funny, creepy, and downright memorable. For a monster film aimed for a younger audience, this one works brilliantly and it definitely is one the high points of Burton's career. This is the perfect film to watch if you want a different retelling of a classic horror tale, and Burton creates something totally special and highly entertaining from beginning to end. If you come across it, give this one a view, this is among the most entertaining short films that I have seen in a very long time, and if you're a Tim Burton fan, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Young Victor decides to re-animate his dead dog, which then terrorizes his idyllic 50s neighborhood in this 30 minute B&W early short from Tim Burton. There are few surprises in this obvious Frankenstein spoof, except how surprisingly charming the whole thing is.
