Downtown Disney is hosting a special Frankenweenie weekend, in celebration of the Oct. 5 release of the new Tim Burton film.

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday Downtown Disney in Orlando, Fl. brings a Tim Burton Films and Fun weekend to its guests. Each night, from 6 p.m to 11 p.m, the events start with a new Frankenweenie picture spot at the New Holland Pet Cemetery, new Frankenweenie merchandise at D-street and Frankenweenie inspired treats. On Saturday and Sunday you can see an early screening of the new movie at AMC Downtown Disney’s 24 theater. There will only be four showings, and the screenings are free, so you need to RSVP because space will be limited.

Frankenweenie is a black and white stop-motion animated film and the first of it’s kind to be released in IMAX 3D. It is a remake of a 1984 short film that was made by the film’s director Tim Burton. The movie is a children’s comedy, with a nod to the original story of Frankenstein. The plot involves a boy named Victor, whose dog dies and gets brought back to life by the boy's mad-scientist antics. 

The movie has Burton’s “gothic-esque” style to it, which can be seen in other movies of his, like Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas. During Disney’s Frankenweenie weekend, they will also have on display The Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise, and for the first time a meet and greet with characters Jack and Sally. There will also be four more special screenings each night, two 3D showings of The Nightmare before Christmas and two showings of Alice in Wonderland.

Disney and Tim Burton also came together to film the 2010 remake of Alice in Wonderland. The film was adapted from the original Lewis Carroll novels, Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass, and was a live action film, made using computer-generated imagery. 

The screening schedule for the movies is as follows, The Nightmare Before Christmas at 4:15 p.m and again at 8 p.m. Then for Alice in Wonderland, the screenings are at 4:15 p.m, 6:30 p.m and 10:30 p.m. Guests can purchase tickets for only $6 and they also get to see an extended preview of Frankenweenie, which officially comes out on Oct. 5.
