    Good on Burton to do right by Selick by being a producer on his next project, James and The Giant Peach, as a way of thanks for taking on those duties. Also ironic how they put it on the Touchstone banner for worries it might be too much for their reputation and now here we are today and Disney now proudly calls it "A Disney Film".

    This was pretty much the only 90s Disney movie I did NOT see growing up. I guess it didn't help that it was not marketed as a Disney film back then. I even watched James and the Giant Peach when I was little, but I didn't get the Jack Skellington reference in it. Kingdom Hearts 1 ended up being my first introduction to Nightmare Before Christmas, and I remember being pretty confused by the level based on the movie until I finally saw it on Disney Channel as a teen. It certainly does rank up there with the likes of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, the Lion King and Toy Story, all big hits Disney produced (or at least distributed in Toy Story's case) between the late 80s and mid 90s that redefined the possibilities of animation in the realms of musicals, live-action hybrid, stop-motion, and 3D.

    I saw it at the cinema when it came out, I travelled over an hour each way on a bus to watch the 3d version (it was the only theatre showing it)
    in short I am part of the reason this movie is so over-commercialised.... now excuse me while I go buy that slow cooker

    I am a real cinephile and love animated movies. I grew up on Ray Harryhausen and did love Beetlejuice. But I have never understood this film. It lacks colour, wit, class and taste. It's dark and gloomy (not in a good way), the animation is incredibly clunky and rough; the songs are incredibly basic and childish; the jokes are not funny and there is no wit or cleverness to be detected. It lacks a lot of colour which is really bad for a kid's movie. It's like someone dropped all their Christmas and Halloween decorations on the floor and then said ''That's a film right there!''. It's one of the worst films I've ever seen. Like a film-making student's first attempt.
