Frankenweenie -2012- ((link)) Link

Sparky returns—slightly stitched together, clumsy, and prone to generating static shocks, but wonderfully alive. Victor keeps him hidden from his neighbors (including the perpetually suspicious Mrs. Frankenstein—Shelley Duvall in a vocal cameo) and his parents (Catherine O’Hara and Martin Short). However, Victor’s classmates—the grotesque Edgar “E” Gore (Atticus Shaffer), the competitive Toshiaki (James Hiroyuki Liao), the monstrous Bob (Robert Capron), and the sociopathic Nassor (Martin Short)—witness Sparky and demand to know the secret. They subsequently resurrect their own deceased pets, triggering a chain reaction of runaway mutations: a giant Sea-Monkey, a Godzilla-like turtle, and a swarm of vampire cats. The town’s annual science fair descends into chaos, forcing Victor to risk everything to save Sparky one last time.

4.5/5

Released in 2012, Frankenweenie is a feature-length stop-motion Frankenweenie -2012-

Crucially, the film inverts the typical horror trope. The monster is not the reanimated pet; the monsters are the normal townsfolk whose fear turns them into a mindless mob. Edgar, the hunchbacked, lisping child desperate for a friend, is far more frightening in his neediness than Sparky ever is. 4.5/5 Released in 2012
