First Frankenweenie Pictures

A Tim Burton movie hasn't graced the big screen since Alice In Wonderland in March of last year - a movie that went to gross in excess of $1 billion at the global box office.

But 2012 sees the return of the filmmaker to the director's chair with his new movie Frankenweenie.

The movie follows young scientist Victor as he tries to bring his faithful dog back to life.

Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Charlie Tahan, and Martin Short have all lent their voice to the 3D stop motion movie.

Frankenweenie is released 5th October. Take a look at the first pictures from the film:
