I loved this movie as a child. but, I can't seem to remember anything about where it was that I saw it. I still have every single movie I owned as a child, so I don't think that I owned it. Where was it that I could of seen it (more than once)?
When I got the DVD of NBC I was thrilled that it was on it because of how much I enjoyed it as a kid. I could even remember the movie in great detail. \ But, where it was that I saw it still eludes me.
<3 Thanks!
I remember watching it on Tv. I think it may have aired on disney.
shareYeah, this is one of my favortie childhood movies. I have no idea how I discovered it in the first place but after I saw it I would always rent it whenever we would go to the video store.
shareOh same here, I loved this movie when I was younger, I grew up with it! I remember when Blockbuster had VHS tapes to rent and every time we went to rent I almost always got Frankenweenie!
shareI know that a video store randomly had this movie when I was a child. (From what I've gathered from this IMDB page, it was released by Disney--but "censored"?)
This was always a childhood favorite of mine. If you never owned it, though, and didn't see it on video, I'm not sure where else it might have been, because I never saw it aired on TV once. I had found it...I believe in the video section of my old Toys 'R' Us, back when it was an incredibly awesome wonderland, before they redid it. :( What I wouldn't give to walk through the store as it used to be one more time. Same with Bradlees. *sobs*
Oh, wait, where was I...? Oh, right. Frankenweenie. Well, I had the VHS for a loooong time, and even though I have kept almost all of the hundreds and hundreds of other tapes from my childhood, somehow, that one went missing somewhere along the line. For the past several years I've been watching it on YouTube every year around Halloween, because thankfully it's never been removed. I'm no longer too upset about losing my copy, because if it ever is removed from YT, I can easily re-purchase it via Amazon or eBay. Now that a full-length animated version of the story is coming out this fall, I have a feeling they'll be selling this old short film on DVD, or including it on the new movie's disc. :D :D
I like you, Um. I like largeness...share
Yeah, I remember when my local Toys R Us was actually full of toys, and had plenty of video games, and now 3/4 of the store is dedicated to clothing and almost no videogames. This is a bleak and terrible future we live in.
shareIndeed it is. :'( Reminiscing about my childhood is depressing, for I just end up wishing to return there. I'll never forget the beautiful old Toys 'R' Us. The video section where I found Frankenweenie was colorful, carpeted, furnished...it was unique. Since they completely redid the store a bunch of years back, it looks pretty much like any other, with a relatively anemic selection of toys...it's just so sad that the old one is gone. I want to scream at someone to restore it to its original form. (Same with the old Disney stores at the mall--bigger, with more awesome merchandise every way you turned, and from a greater variety of movies...carpeted in whimsical colors and patterns, filled with moving characters above you, a giant screen playing film clips atop a pyramid of plushies. Now the stores are such a downsized, minimized version of that.) If your Toys 'R' Us sells mostly clothes and no video games, that is just rock bottom...at least mine has an intact game section, and the clothes-selling Kids 'R' Us (now called Babies 'R' Us) is still next door.
shareWell, it does have a games section, but it is nothing compared to back in the early 90's when you went to the games section, and picked up a ticket of the game you wished, go to the cashier and pick up the game at a pick-up area.
Now, it looks like some regular video game store, inside of a store...
Oh and despite the store has 3/4 dedicated to clothes, just a few miles away to the west; there is Babies R Us.
Odd how the store became what it didn't tried to be (I never wanna grow up, you wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up I am a Toys R Us kid). Same as MTV.
Awww, how disappointing....I do sort of recall that system, although my brother was usually the one buying our video games.
D: What a waste...! That's really the pits. Yeah, kinda ironic, huh? They DID "grow up," and sadly became a lot more boring. Mmmhmm, I remember when I could actually watch good "Pop-Up Videos" on MTV. I literally NEVER watch that channel now.
