Frankenweenie is arguably one of the sweetest, most heartfelt movies of the year. It's also Tim Burton's strongest effort in almost a decade. Much of this likely stems from the fact that Frankenweenie was actually a short film Burton directed before he made it big, and one can't help but think a break from the Johnny Depp-Helena Bonham Carter collaborations rejuvenated his creativity. (Cinema, Frankenweenie) 7.5/10
