Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D

Adding a new dimension to a tradition that began 14 years ago, Tim Burton’s hippest of holiday classics, The Nightmare Before Christmas, returns to select theaters this year, presented in spectacular Disney Digital 3-D™. The film made its 3-D debut in 2006 to screams of delight from its legions of fans and is now back for more ghoulish fun. This dazzling 3-D Nightmare offers a frightfully fun, eye-popping trip into a universe of magic and wonder that remains unlike any other. The film’s transformation was led by the original filmmaking team of Academy Award®-nominated writer/producer Tim Burton (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride) and director Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach) -- and was turned into reality through an intense, frame-by-frame digitizing process spearheaded by the technical wizards at Industrial Light & Magic, in collaboration with In-Three, Inc., and driven by a passion for the film’s visual splendor and timeless (not to mention occasionally headless) characters.

Donning their state-of-the-art, polarized 3-D glasses, audiences will now have the chance to get truly up close and bone-rattlingly personal with the film’s cast of mischievously macabre ghosts and goblins. They’ll be transported directly into the three-dimensional center of the haunted house-like environs of Halloweentown as its bored Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, attempts to take over the festive Christmas season for a change of pace. Against the advice of Sally (Catherine O’Hara), the lonely rag doll who has secret feelings for him, Jack enlists three trick-or-treaters -- Lock, Shock, and Barrel -- to help him kidnap Santa Claus. But even when Jack realizes his mistake, he’ll have to contend with the evil Oogie Boogie before he can turn things around and restore the holiday’s cheer.

Fueled by an unforgettable Grammy®-nominated soundtrack featuring ten infectiously spooky songs by Oscar® nominee Danny Elfman (Corpse Bride, Big Fish), who also provided the singing voice for Jack, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D remains a madcap musical romp that sets the tone for a multitude of Halloween and holiday fun.
