A Disturbance in the Force: How the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened
Self
In 1978, CBS aired the “Star Wars Holiday Special” the week before Thanksgiving to an audience of 13 million people. Considered one of the worst shows in television history, it aired only once. George Lucas tried to bury it and an infamous camp legend was born. This documentary unravels the mysteries behind the most bizarre Star Wars spin-offs of all time.
Frankenweenie
Original Story
Victor (Charlie Tahan) adora fazer filmes caseiros de terror, quase sempre estrelados por seu cachorro Sparky. Quando o cão morre atropelado, Victor fica triste e inconformado. Inspirado por uma aula de ciências que teve na escola, onde um professor mostra ser possível estimular os movimentos através da eletricidade, ele constrói uma máquina que permita reviver Sparky. O experimento dá certo, mas o que Victor não esperava era que seu melhor amigo voltasse com hábitos um pouco diferentes.

But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been.
