Nightmare Before Christmas (Blu-ray)
|
| | | Walt Disney Pictures Presents...
Features: Collector's Edition
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!
"...Burton has created a rich, stunningly imaginative world...delicioulsly warped and quirky..." At-A-Glance Film Reviews
"A treat at any time of the year." Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
"A one-of-a-kind delight, a labor of love that is enchanting from start to finish." Frank Lovece, TV Guide
"This delectably ghoulish fairy tale...has a clever visual format that keeps it streamlined and sharp." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Still the most ingenious effort to combine two holiday movies into one..." Jason Anderson, The Globe and Mail
"...Burton has spectacular resources at his disposal, and his crew responds with staggeringly elaborate results." Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"The dazzling techniques employed here create a striking look that's never been seen in such sustained form..." Todd McCarthy, Variety
Editor's Note
Tim Burton's stop-motion animated feature finds Pumpkin King Jack Skellington thinking the grass is greener over in Santa Claus's holiday. He marshals all his goblins and ghouls to take over Christmas, but alas--poor Jack belongs to Halloween. An amazing visual and musical feast that should be seen at least twice to catch all the kinks and quirks in the nooks and crannies. Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.
Plot Summary
Tired of being an object of fear for small children, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, sets out to replace Santa Claus and oversee Christmas festivities for a year. A trio of ghastly ghouls is assigned to the task of kidnapping Saint Nick; meanwhile, Jack attends to the Yuletide activities, giving them a frightful new twist in the process.

| The Nightmare Before Christmas - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/4/2008 1:48 PM | | As a stop motion fanboy, its hard not to notice how truly remarkable Nightmare Before Christmas looks. Its staggering how many of these shots were pulled off, even with modern technology adapted to fit this disappearing film art form. Miniature work is stunning, and the fluidity of every frame is a marvel to look at....read the full review |
