A single new image from Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie has just been released. Frankenweenie is a full-length stop-motion version of the original short film Tim Burton created back in 1984. The voice cast includes, Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara and Martin Landau.

"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."

Disney will be releasing Frankenweenie to theaters on October 5th, 2012.
