Bonus Features
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is the first full-length stop-motion animated film ever created.
The movie contains more than 227 animated characters.
Santa Claus' head has more than 50 different working parts, and Jack has more than 400 separate interchangeable heads, each handcrafted with a different facial expression.
The smallest working puppet in the movie is a doll from the "real world" Jack visits that is only one inch long.
Sally is wearing a real miniature dress laid on top of foam latex so that the fabric doesn't move too much on screen.
At the height of production, the animators produced only 70 seconds of finished film per week.
To create Halloweentown's twisted look, the design artists often made their sketches using their nondrawing hand.

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

The Nightmare Before Christmas [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy Reviews

DVD and extras are great. Purchased as a gift for my son and he really enjoys the movie. Excellent movie.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughters. They have watched it numerous times since they got it. They love it.

Neither the world of holiday towns, nor the story, engaged us at all. We literally stopped it halfway. Our family has loved Burton's other movies, and appreciate his quirky sensibility, but we found this one unwatchable. The whole thing is sung, in the style of a generic Broadway musical.

I loved this movie and when i was in Guam you couldn't find it anywhere but amazon delivered it made my christmas.

I ordered this as a Christmas gift from this seller. Doesn't have the puffy cover which I thought it did, but still. Get it, this movie is wonderful. He wanted it so bad so I was very happy to get it. We even went on the ride at Disneyland & it showed it on the DVD. Very much so worth getting. Thank you.
