One of the best children's movies in recent memory for sure. The stop motion is charming and the decision to have it made in black and white was for the best. Tim Burton's signature style is latent throughout the entirety of the run time and with that comes odd character models and scary looking creatures that play off of the classic Frankenstein narrative. It touches on the death of a beloved pet and well that's a heavy subject to get across to kids, but it does it a way that should help young children understand what it is without frightening them (the scares come from the creatures). A real cute watch if looking for a more unorthodox movie to show the young ones.

Love the animation and I like the fan theory it connects to two other Tim Burton films.

Great Halloween movie. Happy, Sad, and every emotion in between. Some parts could be upsetting to a child regarding the dog...If you like Tim Burton, its a great addition to your collection.
