I love everything about this movie. First, my two favorite holidays, Halloween and Christmas, are the main focus of the story. The spooky little 3D characters try to take over Christmas and create their own spectacular holiday of fun. The stamp of Tim Burton is clearly everywhere in the film -- with bold colors, imaginative character design, and it's simple yet compelling story.
Nightmare Before Christmas at a Glance...
'''Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas''' is a 1993 stop motion fantasy film directed by Henry Selick and produced/co-written by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a being from "Halloween Town" who opens a portal to "Christmas Town". Danny Elfman wrote the film score and provided the singing voice of Jack, as well as other minor characters. The remaining principal voice cast includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine OHara, William Hickey, Ken Page and Glenn Shadix.
The genesis of the film started with a poem by Tim Burton written when he was working as a Disney animator in the early 1980s. With the critical success of Burton's stop-motion film Vincent in 1982, Disney started to consider The Nightmare Before Christmas as either a short subject or 30-minute television special. Over the years, Burton's thoughts regularly returned to the project, and in 1990, Burton and Disney made a development deal. Production started in July 1991 in San Francisco. Walt Disney Pictures decided to release the film under their Touchstone Pictures banner because they thought Nightmare would be "too dark and scary for kids". The Nightmare Before Christmas has been viewed with critical and financial success. Disney has reissued the film annually under their Disney Digital 3-D format since 2006.
