Frankenweenie - Sparky Battles the Were Rat - Storyboard Animatic

This early storyboard featured our main characters battling the Were Rat and the Vampire Bat outside of Victor's school. His sports teacher is forced up the maypole in some sort of resolution to her making the children dance around it against their will. Ultimately the main events were relocated to the Dutch Day Festival Fairground. In this version Sparky actively bites the Were Rat reducing him back to an ordinary rat again, but in the movie the Were Rat bites Sparky's electricity bolts and kills himself.
