Victor, the dog-loving boy in “Frankenweenie,” ages into the man we meet in “The Corpse Bride.” Some believe he died a fiery death, explaining his tendency to combust on-screen spontaneously. Sally? Dismembered. Hence, her ability to detach and reattach body parts at will. Oh, and the clincher? Both have dogs as companions. Coincidence? I think not.
