In 1993, director Tim Burton unleashed what is considered by many of his fans to be his greatest masterpiece. He gave us The Nightmare Before Christmas. The film was directed by Henry Selick, with Burton only on the script and the art direction (although many believe it would have had a co-director credit had the Directors Guild of America not had a rule against co-director credits).
The film received very positive reviews, but unfortunately did not make much of an impact on audiences with its tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, who wishes to change things up in Halloween Town by introducing Christmas. The film did manage to gain a steady and loyal cult following as the years went on until today, where it is considered a Christmas/Halloween classic (and it is also notable for being one of the few, if not only, interchangeable holiday movies).
The films cult following has actually gotten the Walt Disney Company to re-induct the movie as an official Disney movie, instead of just a film released by their subsidiary, Touchstone Pictures.
In November of 2006 The Nightmare Before Christmas was re-released into theatres in a new 3-D format. The choice to release the film in November was as a means to release it between Halloween and Christmas. The shift to 3-D is a very welcome change to the original version. The 3-D makes all of those wonderful scenes of ghosts and reindeer come to vivid, up close, life.
The films characters have never before seemed so up close and alive. The musical numbers, composed by Tim Burton film veteran Danny Elfman, have been remastered as well. The music is sharper than ever, and really good for the audience to sing along with. In fact, the only problem one could probably find with the 3-D version of this movie is that the glasses can be distracting, leading one to take them off to see the difference between with the glasses and without the glasses.
The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D is one of the few times when re-releasing a film in 3-D is a good idea. The classic translates very well into the format. The movie has never looked better, and it makes for a great time at the movies. The movie was released in 3-D again in 2007, and is expected to be released once more in 2008. I wonder if they have thought of carrying this over to other holidays, like The Nightmare After Easter? Maybe, Maybe not |
