For those who never thought Disney would release a film in which Santa Claus is kidnapped and tortured, well, here it is! The full title is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, which should give you an idea of the tone of this stop-action animated musical/fantasy/horror/comedy. It is based on characters created by Burton, the former Disney animator best known as the director of Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and the first two Batman movies. His benignly scary-funny sensibility dominates the story of Halloweentown resident Jack Skellington (voice by Danny Elfman, who also wrote the songs), who stumbles on a bizarre and fascinating alternative universe called ... Christmastown! Directed by Henry Selick (who later made the delightful James and the Giant Peach), this PG-rated picture has a reassuringly light touch. As Roger Ebert noted in his review, "some of the Halloween creatures might be a tad scary for smaller children, but this is the kind of movie older kids will eat up; it has the kind of offbeat, subversive energy that tells them wonderful things are likely to happen." --Jim Emerson

Nightmare Before Chrismas

I was very happy with the delivery of this. The price was great. It was delivered in a timely manner and was in perfect condition. I would buy again...

A must have for Blu-Ray. This is a classic

I loved it in theaters and I thought it couldn't get better. If you see it on a Blu-Ray player you'll fall in love again.

What's not to like???

The Nightmare Before Christmas is such a true work of imagination. The characters are touching and the music can easily get stuck in your head. It has just enough spook in it that even my 3 year old loves it. I also have a place in my heart for the bonus DVD which has a wonderful story on it called Vincent. I will never get sick of this movie...EVER!!!

Disney has decided to adopt it's "step-child project"

When Nightmare was originally released, it was released through Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner. As director Henry Selick recalls, "Their biggest fear, and why it was kind of a stepchild project, was they were afraid of their core audience hating the film and not coming."

That certainly wasn't the case and this time around Disney has decided to adopt it's "step-child project". This, however, comes with a couple nice "Disney Perks" as I will call them.

AND THE DISNEY PERKS ARE...

1. Should I ever damage the DVD or break it, Disney has a replacement program in which you can replace your DVD through them for $6.95 - this is a pretty good deal and it applies to ALL Disney films.

2. My DVD did not come with an activation code for digital copy. Rather than having to go through Amazon to return it, I called the 1-800 number on the DVD and Disney will not only replace my copy free of charge despite it being used, but they are going to pay the shipping both ways.

As for the Special Edition, there are some great features. The bonus disc contains substantial features, the digital copy makes putting the movie on my digital devices a breeze, and the DVD itself comes equipped with a "fast-play" feature. This is a great buy for fans of the movie - but don't wait on it, Disney has a habit of cutting us off by placing their movies back in their demand-creating Vault.
