Back in August, we brought you the new logo that Walt Disney Pictures released for director Tim Burton‘s (Dark Shadows) forthcoming stop-motion animated remake of his own live action short film, Frankenweenie. Now, the studio has released the first teaser poster for the film. Check it out below!

The poster was first revealed on the official Facebook page, and if you head over there, you can see the animated version of the poster!

Synopsis:

In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences. A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience. From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

Frankenweenie is slated to hit theaters on October 5th, 2012.
