Description:
Now digitally restored and remastered with state-of-the-art technology, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is deeper, darker and more brilliant than ever just as Tim Burton originally envisioned it. Can Christmas be saved? Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere! Bonus Features THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is the first full-length stop-motion animated film ever created. The movie contains more than 227 animated characters. Santa Claus' head has more than 50 different working parts, and Jack has more than 400 separate interchangeable heads, each handcrafted with a different facial expression. The smallest working puppet in the movie is a doll from the "real world" Jack visits that is only one inch long. Sally is wearing a real miniature dress laid on top of foam latex so that the fabric doesn't move too much on screen. At the height of production, the animators produced only 70 seconds of finished film per week. To create Halloweentown's twisted look, the design artists often made their sketches using their nondrawing hand. What's This?

Tim Burton's masterpeice.Aug 08, 2010 Clearly my wife and I are 25 years old and we are into good movies. This movies is one of the best Pixar movies and directed movies next to Cars. I suggest if you love halloween and talking skeletons this is the movie for you and your family.
Favorite Movie of All Time Just Got BetterAug 04, 2010 The Nightmare before Christmas is my favorite movie of all time. I previously had the DVD and decided to upgrade to the Blu Ray and am glad I did. The movies colors are more vibrant and most importantly the backgrounds are a deep black rather than the slightly grey hint seen in the Blu Ray. The sound is more vivid and the whole experience is enhanced by switching to Blu Ray.

A fun family animationJul 07, 2010 Part musical, part family animation. The tale is done well enough and children should enjoy it. Lacking in complexity for me but for its genre it was done well enough. I wasn't expecting ENGLISH PATIENT here. MY GRADE: B (fanboys/fangirls of Time Burton or Danny Elfman will give it higher).

Decent MovieMay 30, 2010 The Blu-ray version is the only way to view this movie. However, I am not a big fan of the story or music. My wife loves every aspect of this movie but I find myself falling asleep every time we watch it. If you love the movie then you cannot pass up the Blu-ray copy and it is a great way to show off your LCD/Plasma TV.

One of the Best Blu-Ray Presentations Yet!May 29, 2010 This movie deserved a great blu-ray release and that it exactly what it got. The picture and sound quality are amazing and the movie is a memorable one. It is a Tim Burton classic so it has his eccentric style to it. If you're a fan of the movie, this is a MUST OWN version. Get it quick, rumor is its going back into the vault soon!
