“What you can do in stop motion is that there is purity to the emotion. The black and white also added to that for me. If the studio had said to me, ‘Well, you can do the movie but only in color,’ I wouldn’t have done it because it was that important to me to impart that emotional stripping away of things so that you get that simplicity and the strength of what it’s about.”

“I don’t decide to make a film because of the actors first, even though there are a lot of people I love. I don’t think I’ve ever gone, ‘Oh, I want to work with that person,’ and then specifically found a part with that person just to work with them. For Frankenweenie, I hadn’t worked with Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, or Martin Landau in a long time, so that was great. But the project drew me to them because they’re all so talented.”

When we were designing the pet cemetery, we asked everyone in the crew for the names of their pets that had passed away,” reveals Allison Abbate. “We incorporated the names into the tombstones, and then we would try to figure out who each pet belonged to. You’d hear people walk around saying, ‘Wait a minute… Were you Bob Fishy’s owner?
