^[1]It was great fun attending the white carpeted premiere of Disney’s Frankenweenie ^[2].  Yes, that’s right, I said white carpet.  The traditional red carpet down which the stars of the show typically promenade before the big premiere was replaced by and whites, spooky, and alluring version.

Being that Frankenweenie is a animated movie directed by Tim Burton, I was looking forward to all sorts of strangeness at the premiere.  What I witnessed was an uncanny combination of the movie’s human stars and canine celebrities strut their stuff on the white carpet (fortunately, no one inappropriately urinated).

In attendance were some of Frankenweenie’s stars who lent their voices to the movie’s characters:

John August (Frankenweenie’s screenwriter)

Tim Burton

Winona Ryder

^[3]

Robert Capron

Tom Kenney (voice of multiple characters along with Spongebob Squarepants)

^[4]

Martin Landau

Catherine O’Hara

^[5]

Martin Short

Other celebrities who strolled by included:

Kendra Wilkinson (Girls Next Door) ^[6]

Marissa Jarett Winokur (Hairspray)

Busco and Angel (Papi and Chloe in Beverly Hills Chihuahua) ^[7]

I’m attending a screening of the Frankenweenie this weekend and will soon have a full review for my Celebrity Pet News readers.  I can’t wait to see it and share my veterinary perspective on Frankenweenie’s portrayal with you.
