Product Description
Bluray Disc

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

 Blu(ray) Christmas November 21, 2009
Timothy P. Hilliard (Oak Harbor, WA)
I love this movie, so does my daughter and now my grandkids. Now on Blu-Ray, it is astonishing!
The Best Halloween Film of its Generation November 16, 2009
Troy C. Mcclure (Los Angeles, CA)
I don't think any other movie has come around in the last decade that has impacted our culture like this, especially during Halloween. This film is always a pleasure to watch during the holiday season, the music, songs and animation are just remarkable. I love the characters and all the creepy humerous things that they do.
If you truly want to blow your kids minds with a Halloween movie I always suggest this one, it will leave them wanting more and next thing you know you'll know you're adding it to your DVD collection.
Nightmare Before Christmas Blue Ray November 16, 2009
R. Borquez (Nashville, TN)
This movie is not just a cult film but has become a Halloween and Christmas animation classic.
The music soundtrack should be on Broadway; and the stop motion animation is awesome.
Once again Tim Burton tackles one of his favorite subjects as only he can, the magic of Christmas...but this time, it's viewed from a darker fringe. Of course, It looks incredible in Blue Ray; thank you for your creativity and talent Tim Burton!
Worth It November 16, 2009
Za (Oklahoma City, OK)
My husband recieved a gift card for Amazon.com. Neither one of us had ever purchased anything from Amazon before. I found this dvd collection and thought it would be a good fit. It arrived 3 days after I ordered it and I had no problems with the website or the purchase.
One of the all-time best Disney movies. November 15, 2009
Holly (Dallas, TX)
The combination of Tim Burton's vision and direction, Danny Elfman's score and the outstanding stop-motion animation plus the enchanting and original story make this one of Disney's all-time best animated stories. It has been my favorite since it was released, but I introduced my 2 and 4 year old grandchildren to the video when I purchased this copy. They are totally mesmerized by the story and the music. The more they see it, the more delighted they become with the characters and their personalities. They've started to be curious about the way the animation is done, as well. As a bonus, it's an all-purpose holiday film which lasts the entire season from Halloween through Christmas!
