This October, Tim Burton will treat audiences to Frankenweenie, a stop-motion[单格拍制] animated adventure that resurrects[使复生] the classic story of Frankenstein注1.
The movie is a new version of a 1984 live-action short he did for Disney, one of his first when working for the company in the 1980s as an animator and concept artist. “It was a very special, personal project for me,” said the director.
Frankenweenie is about a boy named Victor, whose dog Sparky dies after being hit by a car. The kid then brings him back to life, Frankenstein style. Lots of other weird little kids and animals litter[弄得乱七八糟] the movie, which was inspired by Burton’s own school days.
“Everybody felt really strange in school, both the kids and the teachers,” Burton recalled. “I walk into a school and I start to freak out because I start remembering.”
He also told of the origin of the initial[最初的] Franken- weenie short, which was supposed to have been shown as an opener for a theatrical run of Pinocchio in 1984, but was shelved[搁置] when it bothered some kids. “For me, it’s the perfect Disney movie,” he said.
这个10月，蒂姆·伯顿将为观众带来《科学怪狗》——这部定格动画片再现了《科学怪人》的经典故事。
上世纪80年代，蒂姆·伯顿曾担任迪士尼公司的动画师和概念设计师。他在1984年为迪士尼制作了个人第一部实景短片，《科学怪狗》就是该短片的新版。“那部短片对我来说非常特别，具有特殊的意义，”这位导演说道。
《科学怪狗》讲述了一个叫维克多的男孩的故事。他的狗“火星”被车撞死后，他用“科学怪人”的方式令狗狗复活。片中还出现了很多奇形怪状的小孩和动物，灵感都源自伯顿的读书时代。
“不论是学生还是老师，学校里的每一个人都非常古怪，”伯顿回忆道。“我现在一走进学校就会害怕，因为我会想起（学校的情景）。”
他还谈到最初那部短片的由来：1984年，它本来要放在《木偶奇遇记》之前作为电影揭幕片播映，但由于一些孩子看过后觉得不舒服，它就被搁置了。“对我来说，那才是最好的迪士尼电影，”他说。
Meet the Characters 角色介绍
Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) 维克多(查理·塔汗配音)
Victor Frankenstein is a clever ten-year-old boy who is inspired by science. He lives with his parents and dog, Sparky, in the town of New Holland. Victor immerses[沉迷……中] himself in making films and inventing in his attic[阁楼] workshop. When he loses Sparky, Victor uses scientific ingenuity[善发明的天才] to bring him back to life.
维克多·弗兰肯斯坦是一个聪明的十岁小孩，科学就是他的灵感来源。他和父母以及爱犬火星一起住在新荷兰镇。在他的阁楼工作室里，维克多终日沉迷于拍摄电影和科学发明。失去火星后，维克多运用自己的发明天才使火星重获新生。
Sparky (voiced by Frank Welker) 火星(弗兰克·维尔克配音)
Sparky is a playful dog whose sense of curiosity is matched only by his owner, Victor. Sparky enjoys chasing after balls and starring in Victor’s homemade movies. He exudes[发散开来] tons of energy and enthusiasm[热情], which even his untimely[不适时的] death doesn’t diminish[（使）减少].
火星是一只活泼好动的狗狗，他的好奇心只有主人维克多才能媲美。火星喜欢追着球玩，还是维克多的自制电影的主角。他散发出无限的活力和热情，即使英年早逝也不能让他消停半分。
Ben & Susan Frankenstein (Victor’s Parents, voiced by Martin Short & Catherine O’Hara)本·弗兰肯斯坦和苏珊·弗兰肯斯坦(维克多的父母，马丁·肖特和凯瑟琳·欧·哈拉配音)
Mr. Frankenstein, a travel agent, is proud of Victor’s accomplishments[成就], but is concerned he doesn’t have any friends other than Sparky. He encourages him to join the baseball team. Mr. Frankenstein has a playful and loving relationship with his wife, Victor’s mom, who encourages her son’s scientific pursuits[追求], even when her kitchen appliances[器具] end up in his attic lab.
弗兰肯斯坦先生是一名旅行社职员，尽管他为维克多的成就感到自豪，但同时对维克多除了火星以外没有其他朋友感到担忧。他鼓励维克多参加棒球队。弗兰肯斯坦的夫妻关系美满快乐。尽管厨房里的用具经常“落户”阁楼的实验室，维克多的妈妈依然鼓励儿子的科学追求。
Mr. Rzykruski (voiced by Martin Landau)日科尔斯基先生(马丁·兰道配音)
Mr. Rzykruski is the new science teacher at New Holland Elementary School. He has a thick, Eastern European accent and a unique way of explaining things. Mr. Rzykruski serves as a mentor[导师] and inspiration to Victor, teaching him that science can do both good and bad things and that if a scientist does not put his heart into his experiment, there could be disastrous[灾难性的] consequences[结果].
日科尔斯基先生是新荷兰小学的新任科学老师。他有着浓重的东欧口音，解释事物很有自己的一套。日科尔斯基先生是维克多的导师和灵感源泉。他让维克多知道，科学能做好事也能做坏事，如果科学家进行实验时不够用心，就可能产生可怕的后果。 Elsa Van Helsing (voiced by Winona Ryder)埃尔莎·范·海辛(薇诺娜·赖德配音)
Elsa Van Helsing is a soulful[深情的] and somber[忧郁的] classmate of Victor. She lives next door with her uncle, Mayor Burgemeister, who forces her to be this year’s “Little Dutch Girl” at the town’s celebration of Dutch Day. Elsa also has a beloved pet, her poodle[狮子狗] Persephone注2, and truly empathizes[移情] with Victor when he loses Sparky.
维克多的同学埃尔莎·范·海辛深情而阴郁。她和舅舅布格尔迈斯特市长住在维克多隔壁。舅舅逼她在“荷兰日”庆典上参加今年的“小荷兰姑娘”评选。埃尔莎也有一只心爱的宠物——狮子狗珀尔塞福涅，所以当维克多失去了火星，她感同身受。
Edgar “E” Gore (voiced by Atticus Shaffer)埃德加·“E”·戈尔(阿蒂库斯·沙弗尔配音)
Edgar “E” Gore is a needy[贫困的] misfit[不适应环境的人], who doesn’t have friends but is desperate to be Victor’s partner for the science fair[展览会]. He’s the first to know of Victor’s success in bringing Sparky back to life. Inspired by Victor, he creates a monster animal using a dead rat. Even though “E”promises not to tell Victor’s secret, he accidentally spills the beans[说漏嘴].
穷孩子埃德加·“E”·戈尔在学校并不合群。他没有朋友，但渴望在科学节上成为维克多的搭档。他是第一个知道维克多成功令火星复活的人。受此启发，他用一只死老鼠造出了一头怪物。虽然“E”发誓不泄露维克多的秘密，但还是不小心说漏了嘴。
