The resurrected canine Sparky returns in a brand new unseen original short: ‘Captain Sparky vs. the Flying Saucers’ which debuts on the Blu-ray and DVD release featuring Victor and Sparky’s home movie. The exciting feature propels Sparky into action when an alien spacecraft threatens life on Earth, but can he save the day?
Celebrated by critics, Frankenweenie has already won 'Best Animated Film of 2012' awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle and the Boston Society of Film Critics.
Nominations for ‘Best Animated Feature’ extend beyond the Golden Globe Awards®, to also include the Critic’s Choice Awards and the Annie Awards.

The hilarious animated masterpiece is filled with quirky characters and unexpected twists. After suddenly 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 learn that getting a new ‘leash on life’ can be monstrous.
