Review of The Nightmare Before Christmas
(The Nightmare Before Christmas: Two-Disc Collector’s Edition was provided to me by Click Communications for the purpose of review.)
Experience Tim Burton’s hauntingly fabulous classic film you’ve always loved, like never before! Now digitally restored and remastered with state-of-the-art technology, The Nightmare Before Christmas is deeper, darker and more brilliant than ever - just as Tim Burton originally envisioned it.
Can Christmas be saved? Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere!
I was in college when The Nightmare Before Christmas came out in theaters - it was before I was a mom, before I was even a nanny, so I had no reason to see it. And, frankly, I thought it looked a little weird. But the kids and I sat down and watched it over the weekend, and we actually really liked it. I still think it’s a little weird, though.
I appreciated the stop-motion animation by director Henry Selick, who is directing the upcoming film version of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. We are anxiously anticipating the February release after loving the book so much.
Noah’s review: It was very, very funny and it’s very interesting and it tells a very good story about how the seasons came. And, on the second disc there is Frankenweenie and Vincent, which were little shorts that were also good. 5 stars.
Jonathan’s review: I think it’s pretty fascinating. It’s pretty funny when it showed this bubble-headed freaky guy. 5 stars.
Josiah’s review: 5 stars. (He’s a man of few words.
