Tim Burton's 3D animation Frankenweenie is  a gothic but heart-warming tale about a young boy who tries to use science to bring his dead dog back to life.

Also walking the red carpet were Martin Short, Martin Landau and Catherine O'Hara who all voice characters in the stop motion animation, which also features the voices of Winona Ryder and Sir Christopher Lee.

Many of the cast have worked with Burton before, O'Hara on Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, Short on Mars Attacks! and Landau on Ed Wood.
