Tim Burton Doesn't Want Sequels Or A Reboot For The Nightmare Before Christmas: 'Get Off Of My Land!

Dating from 1993, if you know anything about 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' then you will hopefully agree with me that it is a quite marvellous stop-motion animated musical short-film produced by Tim Burton (but not directed by him).The second manga, a fully colored series illustrated by Kei Ishiyama and titled Zero's Journey, chronicles the adventures of Jack's dog, Zero, in his experiences beginning in Christmas Town after accidentally getting separated from Jack, who tries to find him, and acts as a sequel to the film, with Tim Burton's story approval.

The budget was less than any Disney blockbuster so it doesn't have to earn Aladdin-sized grosses to satisfy us. It is the kind of 3D presentation which, despite it being a conversion rather than filmed in 3D, shows that when done properly an excellent film can be improved further-still (and with other offerings I've seen, eg cinema 'Gravity' or 'Dr Strange', make an average film very acceptable ! Unknown to the citizens, however, he has grown tired of the same annual routine this year and wants something new ("Jack's Lament"). On July 19, 2023, Disney announced that it is partnering with Dynamite Entertainment to publish new comics based on the film, with the first project being written by Torunn Grønbekk. In 2017, Tokyopop secured exclusive licensing for two manga adaptions for Nightmare Before Christmas, with the first manga being an adaptation of the film's plot line, with art by Jun Asuka, released October 17.After completing his short film Vincent in 1982, [17] Burton, who was then employed at Walt Disney Feature Animation, wrote a three-page poem titled The Nightmare Before Christmas, drawing inspiration from television specials of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

To adapt his poem into a screenplay, Burton approached Michael McDowell, his collaborator on Beetlejuice. On August 26, 2008, Disney re-issued Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in a 3-disc Collector's Edition DVD. On August 2, 2022, a young adult novel titled Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw was released. It consists of a Premiere set and 4 Starter Decks based on four characters, Jack Skellington, the Mayor, Oogie Boogie, and Doctor Finkelstein. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, a first for an animated film, but lost to Jurassic Park.With dialogue that is largely sung and/or in rhyme, a marvellous Danny Elfman musical soundtrack, the look of the scenery, range/look of characters and the little details presented to us as the plot evolves is masterly; the quality of the animation is excellent. It was re-issued in 2000 as a single-disc “Special Edition,” replicating many of the supplements from the movie's lauded laserdisc of yesteryear.
