PASADENA, Calif. -- July 11, 2012
Disney Store will debut its limited edition Sparky-Saurus vinyl figure,
inspired by the upcoming Tim Burton film from Disney, Frankenweenie, in the
Funko booth (#4829) at Comic-Con International 2012 in San Diego, California.
Inspired by the unique aesthetic of the stop-motion black and white film,
Sparky-Saurus is attached to a base that looks like the homemade movie set
constructed in a scene from the film. Only 1,000 Sparky-Saurus vinyl figures
will be available at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Also at Comic-Con, a preview
of Disney Store’s fall assortment of Frankenweenie merchandise will be on
display at Walt Disney Studio’s Art of Frankenweenie booth (#3635).

About Frankenweenie
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.
A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” was filmed in black and white and
rendered in 3D. The talented voice cast includes: Catherine O’Hara, Martin
Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata
Ferrell and Winona Ryder.
Presented by Disney, “Frankenweenie” is directed by Tim Burton, produced by
Tim Burton and Allison Abbate, from a screenplay by John August, based on an
original idea by Tim Burton. “Frankenweenie” releases in U.S. theaters on
October 5, 2012.
