Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas

Hi all!

Sorry if this has already been posted but I recently wached a DVD version of Tim Burton's Classic 1993 Gothic film The Nightmare Before Christmas with my two nephews who along with myself thought it was pretty cool!

I remember seeing this film when it first came out but enjoyed watching it again, especially with the additional insight of the Directors commentary.

I'm certianly no expert on this movie and I was just wondering if anyone else had an opinion on or could share some insights into this film at all?

All the best...

That film was awesome, still is. Well, I can't give you info now but I'll look up something if I can fo you, but have you heard that Tim Burton is making another of this style of animation, called Corpse Bride w/ the voice of Johnny Depp. That one looks to be very cool too.

I finally saw this movie a couple of weeks ago for the first time. I have to say that after hearing so many good comments about the whole thing, I was a little disappointed. Sure, the animation was great; and I loved the three little trick or treaters, but it didn't strike me as that wonderful a story. It might have been all the singing that put me off or the fact that I just didn't 'get' they mayor character.

The movie itself, when it came out, was a one of a kind. I think it's different if you'd had a past with it. Alot of things are really awesome and nostalgic but i think like one of the songs just took me out of the element especially if I watch it now.

Oh yeah, WAY psyched for Corpse Bride.


And I LOVE the music in Nightmare Before Christmas.

Re: Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas

OMG! i LOOOVE nightmare beforexmas! along with every other Tim Burton film. Cant wait for both Willy Wonka and Corpse Bride. apparently the story goes that the Johnny Depp charcater is going to get married and walks through the woods. He puts the wedding ring on (what he thinks to be a piece of wood) and says the wedding vows. The piece of wood turns out to be a dead bride's finger (Helena Bonham Carter) who comes alive and claims that they are married
sounds wicked

I love love love love LOVE this film! its got some of the most amazing songs ever! Keep meaning to buy it on dvd, and I will at some point! I've taken so many phrases from that film and use them in my everyday life ("you're funny, I'm laughing" - ultimate sarcasm )

Re: Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas

Did you know it took them 3 years to film it as it is all stock-motion animation?
Also Tim Burton began planning it all out about 7 years before the actual filming started so in reality it took like 10 years to complete!
I love this movie soooooooooooooo much! Jack and Zero are my favourite.
However I agree with Dwndrgn about the mayor - I don't really get him ... is his face a visual representative of spilt personalities?
