Burton's best film since 1994's Ed Wood or even 1990's Edward Scissorhands.

The stop-motion animation - a favorite tool of Burton's - is given loving attention, and the character design is full of terrific touches, such as the hulking flat-topped schoolmate who looks a bit like a certain man-made monster.

The best thing about an animated monster movie with this much heart is: It's alive. In the best possible way.

The most Tim Burton-y of the director's films, and not just because it contains a vast catalog of references to his own movies - everything from "Edward Scissorhands'' to the underrated 1989 "Batman.''

"Frankenweenie" may just be a wacky horror cartoon, but it's an awfully good wacky horror cartoon. Frighteningly good, you might say.

It's a quintessential Burton film, but also more Disney than a lot of Disney films.
