Summary of The Nightmare Before Christmas (Special Edition)
Enter an extraordinary world filled with magic and wonder. This Special Edition of Tim Burton`s The Nightmare Before Christmas celebrates the groundbreaking accomplishments of the first full-length stop-motion animated feature with bonus Materials never before available on DVD!Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King Of Halloween Town decides to spread Christmas joy to the world. But his well-meaning mission unwittingly puts Santa Claus in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for all good little boys and girls everywhere! Who will save Christmas!The visionary genius of Tim Burton (Sleepy Hollow) and the ten original songs by Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo) make this critically acclaimed movie milestone a uniquely engaging fantasy for the whole family! Other Information: Starring: Danny Elfman Chris Sarandon Catherine O`Hara Paul Reubens Glenn Shadix Ed Ivory and Greg Proops.Directed By: Henry Selick.Running Time: 76 Min. Color.This film is presented in "Widescreen" format.Copyright 2000 Buena Vista Home Video.Format: DVD MOVIEFor 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
