The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Will this great film be released in 3D anaglyph or for the new 3D LCD's ?

Will this great film be released in 3D anaglyph or for the new 3D LCD Screens ?, if not why not., This film was converted to digital 3D for the many Real-D cinemas at your local showcase and cineworld, it's possible to release these 3D stereoscopic films on Blue-ray in the 3D Anaglyph format for home viewing on LCD or Plasma or PC screens, I get sick of buying all the Collectors editions, Special Editions, Ultimate Editions, with the size of a Blue-Ray disk, can't they just realease everything at once, Off course i know it's a great way to rip of loyal fans of the movie, but when will we all start to complain about this practice.

What the hell??? Discontinued by the manufacturer!!!

Gutted!!! Why has this been discontinued??? I'm sure alot of people wouldve brought it. Very disapointed. Whats the story Disney???

note: Amazon had a limited amount of these and they were all sold with pre orders. Also the 1 star was because I missed out on this wonderful set and does not reflect the movie in any way. I would give the movie 5 stars. August 24, 2008

BLU-RAY Edition of Nightmare Before Christmas

Wow, wow, and wow...the Blu-ray version of this film blows all the others away. I have recently converted to Blu-ray, so I am still basking in the glow of the clarity of this new format, so bear with me! Inspired by the classic Rankin-Bass stop-motion animation Christmas classics & "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas," Tim Burton's film tells the tale of Jack Skellington, a kind mis-guided soul who falls in love with Christmas, and attempts to put his own Halloween spin on it, wreaking havoc when the two holidays collide. The characters are memorable: Sally (a Bride-of-Frankenstein-type rag doll who attempts to escape her maker, the twisted Dr. Finklestein), Jack's ghostly pet dog, Zero, the evil Oogie Boogie (a green sack-like boogie-man addicted to gambling), the Mayor of Halloween Town (who actually has two faces that spin around according to his mood and what he wants to show the town!), and Lock, Shock, & Barrel (mischievous trick-or-treaters who kidnap Santa!). The emotion that is able to be achieved by Burton's crew through the puppets is nothing short of astounding, and Burton's Germanic-stylized sets are a visual feast.

Bonus features include:

New! "What's This? Jack's Haunted Mansion Holiday Tour." This featurette takes you through Disneyland's Haunted Mansion from start to finish with the Nightmare Before Christmas Holiday Overlay. Options of watching the featurette with or without trivia popups (which are very fun and interesting).

New! Tim Burton's original NBC poem narrated by legendary horror actor Christopher Lee.

New! Film commentary by producer/writer Tim Burton, director Henry Selick, and composer Danny Elfman (also of Anthology fame!).

New! Tim Burton introduction to "Frankenweenie". If you've never seen this early Tim Burton short, you will love it! Way out and wacky homage to "Frankenstein," stars Shelly Duvall and Daniel Stern. Burton has filmed a new intro to this short and tells how he is in the process of creating a stop-motion animation version of this movie. Sketches are shown as well.

"Making of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" - available on previous editions, this behind-the-scenes documentary gives you a greater appreciation of what went into making this classic. Models had to be moved by the crew 24 times for each second of film...do the math!

"The Worlds of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas": see the creation/sketches of each of the lands from the movie: Halloween Town, Christmas Town, and The Real World.

Deleted Scenes, Storyboard to Film Comparison, Theatrical Trailers/Posters, and complete stop-motion animation early Tim Burton short "Vincent," narrated by Vincent Price.

Thank you, Disney!

I waited years for this. I'm always watching my TNBC VHS, and it's still in great condition. But Blu-ray DVD? Disney gets so much love from me, they made an excellent decision!

The story is wonderfully put together. Tim Burton is truly the master of Stop-motion animation. It's smooth, and that's how it should be; yet it still has that little something other movies don't have. I love how it's dark and mysterious, just like Halloween is and should be! Yet when Jack discovers Christmas Town, it's full of life and color! The combination is just wonderful!

I really do feel sorry for those who don't like the movie, or can't see the plot and art that Tim Burton put into this movie! August 20, 2008

Another Nightmare

This is so awesome that I can finally put this on my iPod. With the Digital Copy. I can put it on and if I am bored I just can play it on my iPod and have a great time. I love this movie. I had it on VHS then my VCR stopped working. So this is so awesome. This is hard to find on DVD. August 12, 2008
