On October 27, the timeless classic, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" will be re-released in 3D. Tim Burton has always had a way with mystifying audiences; this movie has become an outstanding favorite among many.
The movie follows Jack Skellington, (voiced by Danny Elfman) the Pumpkin King and leader of Halloweentown. Jack grows tired of tricks and scare tactics and goes for a venture through a dark forest. He eventually falls upon a tree which opens up a door to Christmastown, a place filled with happiness and the usual Christmas cheer.
Jack soon decides to kidnap Santa Claus and instate himself as the ruler of Christmas, and Christmastown. He uses some of the usual tricks found in Halloweentown to bring havoc to Christmas.
One thing that has always made this movie stand out is its clean animation and visuals. The character movement is very smooth and lifelike. Behind each character is an environment with so much detail it is clear this movie was produced with tireless skill.
When the movie finally shows, it will give fans an entirely new experience, allowing audiences to become fully surrounded by Burton's world. For those who missed out in 1993, this re-release creates an opportunity for an entirely new audience to become captivated.
