Bill Pullman was hoping to come back to Broadway, just not exactly this way.

Tim Burton returns to one of his very first directorial projects for the quirky and sweet "Frankenweenie," the story of a boy who harnesses the power of lightning to bring his beloved dog back from the dead. It's not a scary picture, but an adoring send-up of the monster movie genre, with a little of Mr. Burton's trademark eccentricity thrown in.
Tim Burton reminds us of why we love Tim Burton with "Frankenweenie," a feature-length version of the 1984 short that revealed early glimmers of the veteran director's darkly humorous style.
