When Sparky collides with a car, it may lose its life. Victor decided to harness the power of science to bring his loyal dog friend back to life after colliding with a lost car (his loyal friend). Victor, his neighbors and his parents may face many chaos and evils, making him insist on bringing his best friend back to life. Everyone should be convinced that Sparky, a good friend, is still alive to face those terrible consequences and the beast that will surround everyone.
Very much the work of an older man revisiting the obsessions of his youth, struggling at times to reconnect with them.

The stop-motion animation - a favorite tool of Burton's - is given loving attention, and the character design is full of terrific touches, such as the hulking flat-topped schoolmate who looks a bit like a certain man-made monster.
