Ranking: Every Tim Burton Movie From Worst To Best

Despite being nominated for the Best Animated Film Oscar, Frankenweenie came and went rather quickly without making much of a dent.

While a squarely mid-tier outing for the director, this long-gestating remake of his own 1984 short film boasts stunning black-and-white visuals, an affecting narrative most can relate to, his typical suburban satire, and a ton of nods to 1950s B-movies.

Perhaps it's the monochrome conception that prevented the film from graduating to stronger success, but for the more open-minded among us, it's a real, if slight, treat.
