The short film was originally intended to be shown as a supporting feature when Disney's Pinocchio was re-released to movie theaters in the United States in December 1984. However, Disney executives decided that Frankenweenie was too horrific for children. It was not released theatrically in the US, although it was shown in British cinemas in 1985 as a supporting feature for the dinosaur movie Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. Following the mainstream success of Tim Burton's films Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Batman, Disney released Frankenweenie on home video in 1992. The short film would later appear as a bonus feature on DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the 2012 animated Frankenweenie remake. Frankenweenie was rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America but was rated as being suitable for all audiences in Australia and the United Kingdom.
