The
Nightmare Before Christmas
In 3-D
When The
Nightmare Before
Christmas came out back in 1993, it was unlike any movie
any of us had ever
seen before. Tim
Burton was riding high
after Pee
Wee’s Big Adventure, Batman,
Beetlejuice
and Edward
Scissorhands, so
moviegoers expected to see the unexpected in his movies, but this was
even more
than anyone anticipated. Now,
it’s back
in 3-D, and looking more amazing than ever.
Based on his characters and
story, The
Nightmare Before
Christmas
is a twisted, imaginative holiday musical about the
Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon, singing by
Danny
Elfman), growing tired of Halloween, and finding new life and spirit
when he
accidentally wanders into Christmas Town.
With a heart full of joy, but not an exact knowledge
of how Christmas
works, Jack recruits the people of Halloween Town to
seize Christmas
and make the holiday into their own, with unforeseen consequences.
Sometimes, converting a popular
movie into 3-D for re-release can be a cheap, cynical
corporation’s attempt to
wring a few extra dollars out of a property (not that I would EVER
accuse
Disney of that, no way, nope, couldn’t happen), but The
Nightmare Before
Christmas feels like it should have always been in 3-D. I even remember back in
1993 how many of my
friends felt it almost looked like it was in 3-D already, but they
could have
never imagined it would look this good and crisp.
Instead of exposing flaws,
the 3-D effect gives the audience a new appreciation for the animation
and shows
you incredible, mind-blowing detail in each character as they are right in your face throughout the movie (you’ll
never look at
Oogie Boogie the same way again)
Plus,
the music sounds better than ever as each character reaches out to the
audience
with their tale. Best
of all, the 3-D
effect does nothing to remove the heart and soul of the movie, and it
still
feels more original than almost anything else out there.
