In 1993, though, a Halloween-Christmas film hybrid starring a slightly demented but well-meaning skeleton in a bat bowtie who nearly gets Santa killed was no easy sell. Worried the film would frighten young viewers used to “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin,” Disney released the film under its Touchstone Pictures banner, reserved for titles with more mature themes than standard Disney fare (a few years earlier, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” got the same treatment).

In this writer’s opinion, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. There are plenty of Tim Burton fans on the other side of the country if not more. The need for a Nightmare Before Christmas attraction is long overdue. Fortunately, we might be getting our wish. @disneyparks The film made a modest box office dent upon release. But many viewers who found the film over the years, usually on home video, appreciated its impressive puppets, offbeat rhythm and many seasonal earworms. Audience support led to multiple rereleases, elevating the film from a cult classic to a must-watch movie during both Halloween and Christmas. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released the film on DVD (again, this time with an anamorphic transfer) and on Blu-ray Disc (for the first time) in August 2008 as a two-disc digitally remastered "collector's edition", but still containing the same special features.Books: Zero's Journey • Long Live the Pumpkin Queen • The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Full Film Script

The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to The Nightmare Before Christmas. Trivia [ ] Edward Ivory as Santa Claus: The leader of Christmas Town.

A trading card game is also available. Since 2001, Disneyland has held a Nightmare Before Christmas theme for its Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction. The movie has since become the biggest cult film under the Walt Disney Company, and it has gone from a dirty little secret to one of the biggest sources of merchandise for the Disney brand. With all that in mind, a theme park attraction was inevitable.

Roger Ebert said as much in his glowing three-and-a-half star review of the film in 1993: “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.” In 2006, Disney reissued The Nightmare Before Christmas as a Walt Disney Pictures release instead of Touchstone Pictures. The original theatrical version used the 1987-2003 Touchstone Pictures logo, and later the reissued version with the 2006-2022 Walt Disney Pictures logo. Tim Burton’s holiday classic will hit theaters across the U.S. and in Canada on October 20.

Nightmare” characters now make regular appearances at the Disney parks during Halloween and Christmas, greeting young visitors and appearing on seasonal merchandise. Disney films even more explicitly dealt with death: The popular Pixar film “Coco” starred several skeletons, and the studio even released a fully animated version of “Frankenweenie,” based on Burton’s short film of the same name. Burton has even gone on to direct more children’s films for Disney, including “Alice in Wonderland” and “Dumbo,” his dark streak dampened but still intact. What’s this?? A sneak peak at the NEW Disney Jollywood nights 😉🎄 #DisneyParks #JollywoodNights #HollywoodStudios #Holidays #New #Event #Festive The weird and whimsical masterpiece from the mind of Tim Burton and Walt Disney Pictures has delighted audiences for decades, but the Haunted Mansion Holiday has been the premier Nightmare Before Christmas event outside of the live concert version. However, Disney is finally giving the Florida park a taste of the action, and it’s bound to have a much bigger crowd than the Haunting at Disneyland.

Disney is commemorating the deliciously bizarre film’s 30th anniversary with a theatrical rerelease. Here’s how a small film about a bunch of undead dreamers enchanted viewers — and became an essential offering among Disney’s holiday entertainment. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called it a restoration of "originality and daring to the Halloween genre. This dazzling mix of fun and fright also explodes the notion that animation is kid stuff. ... It's 74 minutes of timeless movie magic." James Berardinelli stated " The Nightmare Before Christmas has something to offer just about everyone. For the kids, it's a fantasy celebrating two holidays. For the adults, it's an opportunity to experience some light entertainment while marveling at how adept Hollywood has become at these techniques. There are songs, laughs, and a little romance. In short, The Nightmare Before Christmas does what it intends to: entertain." Desson Thomson of The Washington Post enjoyed stylistic features in common with Oscar Wilde, German Expressionism, the Brothers Grimm, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Although this is simply a stand in for the Frozen variant, Burton’s holiday tale does lend itself over to a stage adaptation a lot better than some might think. Although some might be disappointed that Disney World isn’t getting a ride, it’s still a heaping helping a fan service.
