We are not going to be treated to one Tim Burton movie in 2012 but two as Frankenweenie come hot on the heels of Dark Shadows.

Yes Burton has returned to stop motion animation for his latest project – which will also be in black and white 3D.

And we have the new trailer for you to take a look at:

Frankenweenie is 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 set to hit the big screen October 17th.
