Exclusive Images: Meet Bob and Toshiaki from Tim Burton's Frankenweenie
Meet Toshiaki and Bob, just two of the many characters you'll find in the upcoming Frankenweenie, Tim Burton's latest film opening on October 5th. Disney has provided us an exclusive look at the pair - that's Toshiaki on the left - and you'll find a hi-res peek after the jump along with character bios.
The animated film - based on Burton's short of the same name - features the vocal work of Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron and Conchata Ferrell and concerns a young man who loses his dog to an accident, however, he brings the mutt back to life via some Frankenstein-like experiments. Craziness ensues.

In addition to the images, we've added two Facebook profile cover banners which you can right click on and save to your desktop and later upload to your FB profile. First up: Toshiaki, voiced by James Hiroyuki Liao. Toshiaki is over-achieving and mega-competitive. He delights in beating Victor at his own game and like a power-hungry, mad scientist, Toshiaki will stop at nothing to win the top prize in the school’s science fair - even if it means stealing Victor’s ideas to do it.
And now, meet Bob, voiced by Robert Capron. Bob is a momma’s boy who is the brawn to Toshiaki’s brains. He is agreeable and never mean-spirited, but on the flip side he’s easily led and gullible. Bob follows Toshiaki everywhere, but is the first one to run to Victor for help when he gets in over his head.
