With the major studios all sending out their preview packs for 2012 releases a new image from Tim Burton's Frankenweenie has arrived online, joining a pair of previously released images. A feature length animated version of Burton's own previous live action short film, Frankenweenie tells the story of a boy who brings his beloved dog back to life with the power of science.
Burton has been sort of easing his way back into directing animation after a feature career spent almost entirely in live action work. Though his earliest credits are a string of animated short films, Frankenweenie will be the first animated film directed solely by Burton - The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick and Corpse Bride a co-direction - and it's clearly from material close to Burton's heart as he's tried to get a feature version of the short up and running for years.
Check the images below.

this reminds me of Burton's old short film...i think it is called "Vincent"
He already made a Frankenweenie short, before he made Vincent. Vincents probably my favorite things he's ever made.
