IMDb 7.2

Watch it tonight if you've got kids or love Tim Burton's whimsical-weird aesthetic—this stop-motion charmer nails the heartfelt story of a boy and his reanimated dog with genuine laughs and surprising emotional depth. It's quirky, beautifully crafted, and way more touching than the premise suggests, even if it's not Burton at his absolute peak.

Plot

When young Victor's pet dog Sparky (who stars in Victor's home-made monster movies) is hit by a car, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been.
