The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 American stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy film directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton. The principal voice cast also includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Ed Ivory. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and score, and provided the singing voice of Jack. The film met with both critical and financial success, grossing USD 90 million since its initial release and garnering a cult following. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, a first for an animated film. It has since been reissued by Walt Disney Pictures, and was re-released annually in Disney Digital 3-D from 2006 until 2009, making it the first stop- motion animated feature to be entirely converted to 3D. The story follows Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween Town, who stumbles through a portal to \”Christmas Town\” and becomes obsessed with celebrating the holiday. Jack tells Santa he will be bringing Christmas to the world in his place this year, but Santa refuses to listen to Jack’s warnings. The townspeople then celebrate Christmas in a way that fulfills Jack’s original dream, which is to play with snowfall in a snowfall for the residents to play in. As Santa flies away, Jack shouts out ‘Happy Christmas’ and takes his original dream with him. The movie was released by Disney in 1991, but was initially released through Touchstone Pictures because the studio believed the film would be \”too dark and scary for kids\”.
The film was later re-issued by Disney Pictures in 2006. It is the first time a Disney animated feature has been released in 3D, and the first since The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Light-hearted Sword was released in 2007. The sequel, The Last Gleaming, was released on December 25, 2008. The second film in the series, The Secret of Santa Claus, will be released on January 25, 2009. The third and fourth films in this series will be The Hobbit: The Desolation of the Planet of the Apes and The Descent of the Holy Grail. The fourth and fifth films in the trilogy will be the conclusion of The Mummy: The Last Mummy and The Cremation of the Mummy, which will also be released in 2009 and 2010. The sixth and seventh films are the follow-ups to The Muppets of Christmas, which were released in 2010 and 2011. The seventh and eighth films are scheduled for release in 2012 and 2013. The final film is the conclusion to the series of The Lord and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Part III, Part IV, and Part 5, which are released in 2014 and 2015 respectively. The last film is set in the same world as the first, but in a different time period and in a new location. It tells the story of Jack’s quest to find out what Christmas is all about.
