how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 49 comments (47 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 7 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“the first two acts are virtually unchanged. And while that dedication to the core concept surely deserves some praise, it also feels a bit thin for a ninety-minute feature. When it's not tossing out pocketfuls of sugary homage or good-natured parody,Frankenweenie's plot seems startlingly content to just hang around and gaze back at the audience”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The movie, a simple yet immensely pleasurable tale of a little boy and his undead dog, is good enough on its own. If you know the back story, it's even better.”
Ty Burr, Boston Globe · 100
“It is pure, retro-cinematic joy.”

“It says something, then, that Burton's best, most enjoyable, and most emotionally resonate film in years is actually an adaptation of one of his very first projects: Frankenweenie.”
Drew Taylor, The Playlist · 91
“Frankenweenie is a cool little flipbook of historical Burtonian style. It even brings back old friends, including "Beetlejuice's" Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 91
“This magnificent stop-motion cartoon is alive - "it's alive! - with laughs and heart.”
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine · 90

“Good stuff, unmistakably Tim Burton. <em>Frankenweenie</em> is a solid stop-motion horror film from Disney. Interesting plot, coupled with a suitable cast and untypical animation. It's also in black-and-white, which doesn't hamper things at all - I, in a weird sort of way, kinda forgot it was b/w for vast portions. Charlie Tahan voices the lead character, Victor Frankenstein. You also have well-known names in Winona Ryder (Elsa), Martin Short (Edward) and Catherine O'Hara (Susan). I also l”
