Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1Audience Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Binding: DVD EAN: 0786936769555 Format: Animated, Box set, Collector's Edition, Color, NTSC Label: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Languages: Manufacturer: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Number Of Items: 3 Publisher: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Region Code: 1 Release Date: August 26, 2008 Running Time: 76 minutes Studio: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Theatrical Release Date: October 29, 1993 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: For 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 Product Description: Now digitally restored and remastered with state-of-the-art technology, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector s Edition is deeper, darker and more brilliant than ever as Tim Burton originally envisioned. This new version comes with DisneyFile Digital Copy, a full-length version of the movie you can transfer and watch on your PC, Mac, and video-enabled compatible portable players. The dimensions of the Jack bust itself (out of box) are 2.5 inches wide by 13.5 inches high by 7.3125 inches deep. The dimensions of the Coffin-shaped box that holds the bust gift set are: 15.5 inches wide by 16.75 inches high by 9.25 inches deep. Bonus Features What s This?

You would be a moron if you dont watch this and share it with the family! Rating: - the nightmare before christmasthis movie was cute, a little too scary for my kids ( under the age of 5) The item shipped to me quick and everything was great. Rating: - 'Tis truly A nightmare Before christmasAnother one of my friends got this for me as a gift. Again, I was giddy with delight (they all know me so well)! While I thought it odd that Disney would reproduce something that was fairly dark, it was so great to see this movie again, as I hadn't seen it in years. The remaster was wonderful as the colors were more vibrant. I especially loved all the bonus features like Frankenweenie, Vincent and The storyboard to film comparison. I thought the cost was high at first, but when I saw the 3D bust ... Read More |
