CriticsCritics: 81
AudienceAudience: 7.0

After a young boy loses his beloved dog, he uses what he has learned about science to bring his loyal companion back to life. When the dog escapes and classmates try to imitate the experiment, strange events unsettle the town, leaving the boy to help his neighbors see the good-hearted friend he remembers.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like heartfelt pet stories mixed with spooky humor, offbeat animation, and classic monster-movie touches; Not for you if you prefer realistic stories or a consistently brisk pace.
