  • holly shiznit i remember watching this movie when i was a kid.

    It brings back so much good memories.

    Thank you Tim Burton.

  • waww tim burton the best

  • I don't like it when the dog dies... poor sparky! :'( he should have closed the gate, silly boy >:(! still Tim Burton makes the best films :D

  • great a bullterrier !! thanks !!!

  • So.............this movie here was made in the 80s and they are remaking into an animated film now? I'm confused.

  • @timmytapeworm13 yup yup!

    OCTOBER 5TH!

  • Aw cool the ugly chick from The SHinning

  • Victor's mother did another horror movie but I don't remember which one....is Shining? no anotehr very famous...shoot I don't remember!

  • @evabemaallora82 yup, i think it's "shining" ;)

  • @bargiusti

    "SHHH! D'ya want to get SUED?"

  • Tim Burton is the best director ever. Thumbs Up

  • Tim Burton the best

  • love Tim Burton s2s2

  • ole school Timmy B crushing it!

    

  • yeh,that's sebastian! :)

  • This will be next year's best movie

  • cant wait to see the movie next year

  • this movie is so cute! :) they're remaking it :O

  • @Moonstone2732 are you talking about Johnny Depp or Tim Burton?

  • No one flame me, cause I do love Johnny DeppXD. But this is one of the few and best things he's made that doesn't have him using the same actors over and over again.

  • I love this! I always used to watch it after The Nightmare Before Christmas at least once a week

  • Thats the lady from the shining!

  • whoo coool dogy i want him as my dog

  • Well, this is gonna make for one creepy animated film.

    Coraline, 9 and Rango were major letdowns when it came to pushing animated mediums in a more mature, serious fashion. Hope the 2012 remake doesn't go down the same path.

  • He's doing a new version for 2012 and is gonna be great i know but i like this more.

  • the boys mom is the mother in The shining??

  • @daddelpaj yep that's her!

  • why isn't this an animation? 

  • The opening credits in the graveyard just threw my brain into "Pet Semetary" mode.

    I knew I wasn't getting any sleep tonight.

  • I always talk about this movie, and nobody I know remembers it! I loved it when I was little! I just never knew it was a Tim Burton movie! I guess I was a fan of his even when I was younger! :P

  • I would definately live in a Tim Burton world :D

  • They're making a new one :D

  • I wonder if this is based in any way on Tim Burton's own childhood.

  • @ztslovebird it's based roughly around him losing his first pet i think and that idea of just wanting it back or so I've read and like that unbreakable bond between a boy and their first dog.

  • @rawryan101TV Not that part; I meant the little boy making horror movies for his family to watch starring his faithful pet.

  • @rawryan101TV Ahh right now i get you !!! sorry about that

  • Wendy! Darling! Light of my life..Im not going to hurt you.

  • Remember seeing this as a kid. Looked it up when saw a remake was in the works. Grew up with this breed of dog, "English Bull Terrier" and they are truly awesome animals. Very comical dogs. The video reminds me of all the dogs we had over the years. Good memories. Go Burton!

  • disney fired a genius. though, Tim burton is a lot better than disney! :D

  • tim burton actually got fired from disney because of this movie

  • my god, the actors!! The brother from the Wonder Years!! Wil Wheaton!!

  • Oh my god the boy in the hat is the snobby child star in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

  • Barrett Oliver was so adorable!

  • So excited that this is going to be in STOP MOTION! EEEEK!

  • Hey it's the kid from "The Never Ending Story".

  • Made me freaking cry over my dog.

  • Shelley Duvall!

  • i was terrified of this movie when they played it on disney. =[ but now i love it.

  •  This is a very amusing work, too. Just like all of the other things he has done.

  • This movie is genius.

  • Tim Burton! :D

  • It's sad. This seems to be the ONLY movie that puts a pitbull breed (in this case a bull terrier) in a good light. Any other movie would make it look like a vicious dog, like the rest of the media.

  • i remember this from the bonus features of the nightmare before christmas

  • i'd give my left arm to work with him ..

  • 4:31 Is that the kid from Back to the Future? :O

  • I was never aware of this film. I was not aware Tim Burton was fired by Disney either. Funny how they want him now. In regards to the film, tres noir, it seems to be set in the past whilst coinciding somewhere near the present. Perhaps, Burton desired to replicate his boyhood in at the time said "current" setting. I'm grateful their are people like him.

  • OMG, thank you thank you for posting this! i used to watch this all the time as a kid. i love this film, one of tim burton's lost masterpieces. i love this film so much i even named my dog sparky. XD

  • Damn stupid way to play fetch. Why isn't the gate shut? Why don't they take him to the park like normal people?

  • The actress who plays Victor's mom looks familiar. Is she the same person who played Wendy Torrance in The Shining?

  • The actress who plays Victor's mom looks familiar. Is she the same person who played Wendy Torrance in The Shining?

  • @Dylmiester43  Yes, she is :)

  • Comment removed

  • I kind of wish they wouldn't make it into a full length movie, but whatever I'm sure it'll be good.

  • that is the kid from never ending story.

    

  • @966mustang He's even looking up from his desk with that super-bored look on his face...same damn kid!

  • its sorta the nightmare before christmas-esque :) ... with the hilltops at the cemetery.

  • Thats the kid from the never ending story, right??

  • @mrpumpkinn Yup. I love that movie. lol

  • @mrpumpkinn Yes, Barret Oliver! Also from "Cocoon", "Darryl", and "Cocoon: the Return"!

  • I hate to say it kid, that's what you get for rolling it into the street!

  • poor sparky

    

  • If you think of it this way... the name sparky was kinda ironi- OHHHHHHH! iseewhatyoudidthar movie!

  • ( so 240p we meet again )

    i meet of all of you are sick of this comment " and the 240p"

  • i love that Daniel Stern (Marv) from Home Alone and Shelley Duvall from The Shining are the kids parents. Man if only the new movie was gonna be like this but it definitely won't be as good. The guy who plays the neighbor looks mad familiar too I can't think of what else hes from. But ya anyways this is kind of like one of his Edward Scissor Hands type movies and now hes gonna go and make it into claymation like Nightmare (which i loved as a kid) but i dont think it will work right for this

  • one of his friends is Wayne Arnold from Wonder Years

  • isn't that the kid from "never ending story"?

  • If the Maitlands had seen Sparky in the middle of the road, they would've swerved for him XD

  • i first saw this after the nightmare before christmas on VHS o.O

  • omg. if u watch lps lover the dog is the same breed as that dog and his name is sparky XD

  • so thats why he called it 'Sparky'

  • Come check out CartoonKai's review of the Tim Burton exhibit @ LACMA!

  • I love anything Tim Burton makes he is so epic and dark that's why i like him

  • The remake of this is going to be full length and in stop motion. Can't wait!!

  • @Jeffdabest15 I am not looking forward to it. To me if your proud of your movie it's because you did everything you wanted to do with it. So remaking your movie is usually a sign that you want to improve upon your original art because you think it wasted the potential it had. I don't think Tim Burton understands what made this short film so great. It was very imaginative and funny,it didn't have great effects but it didn't need them. Just a thought. Maybe it'll be good.

  • @KelanDWood I think your missing the point, the new film will be in stop-motion has he had originally wanted, and shot in Black and while like this version. Also the ending to this version was forced upon him by the studio. The fact is he was never really happy if how the short turned out and now has the chance to make the film he always wanted. (unlike nbc were he did hold out until he was able to make it the way he wanted)

  • @MephProduction I am not missing the point. He wants to make the film the way he originally wanted and he didn't want it to turn out this way(and it turned out good). This is just my opinion and I respect yours.

  • @KelanDWood @KelanDWood but have missed the point.. and i quote "To me if your proud of your movie it's because you did everything you wanted to do with it...." He wasn't and didn't. Sure it was alright, it landed him the Pee Wee job but the new film isn't a remake, his not remaking the same 25 minutes it's completely new thing, Many films start life in the short format.

  • They're redoing this movie and it's coming out in 2012. I hope it's as good as this one!

  • This movie used to freak the shit out of me :) now I love it!

  • loved this as a kid!!!!!!!!

  • the biginnings so sad

  • their gnu make a remake

  • 22 personnes ont perdu leur chien, ont essayez de le ressusiter, ont coupé toute l'electricité de la ville, et ont ont retiré des dettes et juste un chien mort :'(

  • Tim Burton never ceases to amaze me

  • thumbs up if you watched this before the Nightmare Before Christmas became popular (aka before 2006) (:

  • @LoveMeetsDestruction Nightmare has always been popular...And what does frankenweenie have anything to do with nightmare besides it being on the dvd?

  • @LoveMeetsDestruction

    2006. The Nightmare Before Christmas became popular in 1994. 

  • @DarthScorpio11 yeah but i think what he/she was trying to say was that around 2006 every emo boy and girl started using stuff from the movie again

  • @DarthScorpio11 yeah no shit

  • @LoveMeetsDestruction faggot hispter LOL

  • @idomodo faggot LOL

  • @LoveMeetsDestruction I knew you was a faggot before. :o :o :o :o (: (another faggot smiley) u mad

  • @idomodo bet you didn't know you were a faggot yourself before. :o :o :o :o hoe

  • @LoveMeetsDestruction :o :o :o :o (:

  • Yeah I think Tim Burton is remaking it, I think it comes out next year

  • @london61407 it is :D

  • aww this made me cry when i was little D;

  • I remember the love-hate relationship I had for this when I was a kid. I loved the dog but the beginning made me cringe every time.

  • heeeeeeere's Johnny*** ... i mean FRANKENWEENIE!

  • @revuman (reads Jack's Novel) "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. All work and no play......" How do u like it? AHHHHH!!!

  • great film score by David Newman VERY reminiscent of the Brave Little Toaster music

  • Oh the nostalgia!! I loved this movie to no ends when I was little!! Thank you for uploading this!! Thank you thank you thank you!

  • @toasterfox actually,i remmber this coming on disney XD 2 years ago,and i hit info an it said it was realesed in 2008

  • @LegoKing345 WHAT?! That can't be right. I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I belive you when you say you checked and it could have said that. It had to be a typo. Or could it be they first aired it on disney in 2008 do you think?

  • Disney fired him for making this in the 80's.....now they're paying him to make the full length movie!

  • @zjfriend i heard they fired him cuz they thought it was to scary for kids,thats a load of bullcrap

  • @zjfriend haha ya times have changed

  • @zjfriend the movie wont be as good as this tho i wish it wasnt claymation i liked how this was real people they should have just done it like this again just longer but oh well it will probably be good just not as good as this one

  • @zjfriend They fired him? Wait, when was Fox and the Hound, i think he said he worked on that as an animator?

  • @zjfriend Will it be the same do you know?

  • That old neighbor, I always think he's Larry Tate from Bewitched...but he's not.

  • oh my god IT'S MARV!!!

  • This was such a great movie. I can't believe Tim Burton was fired by Disney just because of how creepy this movie was.

  • R.I.P Sparkey HERES A TIP BURRY HIM IN THE PET SEMITARY IT SHALL COME BACK TO LIFE OR DO THAT

  • Atreyu!!!!! Lol awesome movie two thumbs up. : )

  • it was made in 1984.why is it black and white ?

  • Did you not get that this is a parody of the original 1931 Frankenstein film?

  • @MusicRebel71

    because you touch yourself at night

  • @MusicRebel71 Not sure if this was mentioned to you... but black and white is supposed to emphaise the mood of the movie. Colour would take away and ruin the concept trying to be portrayed.

  • It is deceased, it is no more, this....is an ex frog!!

  • hey at 4:30 it's that guy who plays WAYNE in The Wonder Years!! lol

  • Bastian is the child of never-ending story, but the mother is Wendy's Shining oO

  • "I hope you run into a 10 foot mouse." lol stupid cats.

  • is'nt the father daniel stern the same guy who plays marv in home alone

  • @evilducky396 yep

  • Tim Burton's Doing A Full length Film Of This for 2012 along with the film adaptation to the soap opera dark shadows.

  • Shelly Duvall!

  • why is it that the grave is always on the top of a small mountain?

  • When was this made?

  • when i first thought of this, i thought it was in stop motion animation.

  • They should totally make it live-action, but in old black and white style. With no incredible modern animation. That's what this story needs as a remake

  • @SkyFallXIII Burton is doing a stop motion remake; it's due for release in 2012.

  • @SkyFallXIII there making one

  • Awww...I love the Bull Terrier! (:

  • When I was a little girl I was inlove with this movie(:

    Still am.

  • So let me guess, in the remake, Depp's going to star as the dog? :/

  • shelly duvelle? from the shining?

  • Wow, he had really revived a corpse...

    ...oh wait it's Chea Duvall.

  • 21 people couldn't bring their dogs back to life :P

  • @runawaysgirl6498 Or they were the execs from Disney who hated the film so much they fired Burton after he made it

  • I cannot wait for the remake of this, the Sparky puppet is extremely cute!

  • @Funkykitsune I KNOW, FRICK WHY DOSE THE MOVIE HAVE TO BE COMING OUT IN 2012!?!

  • i saw the mother on an episode of twilight zone! she was a lonely women who encountered a ufo and everyone was dying to get the message, and i didnt really understand the ending lol. but still!

  • Victor looks a little like Tim and Helena's son,Billy

  • Check out actress Maria Anastacia Keogh on IMDB

  • 21 people love autoerotic asphyxiation.

  • The car wasnt going fast nuff from sparkys view

  • This is the film that made Paul Reubens want to work with Tim Burton on Pee-wee's Big Adventure!

  • You right

    

  • hiliarously dark and fun

  • i hope someday that i have a son that will be cute just like victor or as i see him as Bastian :)

  • SPARKY! I get it, it's a pun name!

  • I remember seeing this right after I first felt heartbreak; I thought it was a weird movie, but it cheered me up enough to keep on living :-)
