Nightmare Before Christmas 10th Anniversary
 

Believe it or not Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is currently celebrating its tenth anniversary! ((I feel old...)) The brainchild of the great Tim Burton, with music from the genius of Danny Elfman, Nightmare is the only full-length claymation (or stop-motion) movie ever made. It is pure genius.

At any rate, if I seem particularly morbid for a while, this is why. I am totally obsessed. Like I needed another obsession. :roll:

And to make things worse (or better, depending on how deep your pocketbook is...), there is a TON of new Nightmare merchandise appearing in stores such as Spencer's Gifts and Hot Topic.

I spoke with one of the guys working at Hot Topic (with the fairly typical Hot Topic staff appearance -- lots of piercings, tattoos, etc -- and the greatest, friendliest, most hyper personality of anyone I've ever met there :lol: ), and he told me that they were supposed to eventually get in ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY Nightmare items!!

Many of these items are absolutely exclusive to Hot Topic, which leads me to believe that, hopefully, Spencer's will have some other 'exclusive' items as well. However, Spencer's website is crap, so I didn't bother to link to it. But Hot Topic has all its inventory viewable (and buyable) online.

Also, the soundtrack has been re-released (definately worth the money!), and the movie has been re-released on a special edition DVD (again, worth the money, especially for the extras!). Much to my suprise, Border's Books seems to have the best prices.

So... anyone else as big a fan as I am? :D

Definitely one of my favorite Christmas/Halloween/any day movies!!!

When I first saw it 10 years ago I was mesmerized. I just saw it again a couple of weeks ago and the magic is still there.

I have it on VHS, but I do want it on DVD. I just wish that I had picked up the action figures. Those puppies are expensive today.

*cringe* I never felt comfortable watching that movie...the way it looked is the same way all my nightmares look, seriously...

Wow, I never knew it is the only full length claymation film ever made. I only saw it once like 9 yrs ago and I really don't remember that much about it. Maybe as soon as I get some $$$ I'll buy it....

I love that movie! I saw it this Halloween, and yeah, it's still amazing. One of the few movies I want on DVD.

The beauty of that movie: it's the only holiday movie you can watch on more than one holiday...:D

10 years? I remember seeing it on opening night. Wow times flys.

Re: Nightmare Before Christmas 10th Anniversary
 

I entirely agree, to a point.

But what about Chicken Run? That's a full-length claymation/stop-motion film, too.

I'm gonna get this soon, hopefully. If not, this will be the first thing on my christmas list :D .

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!
Jack taught me that it was ok to be weird.... :evilgrin: :D

I hope Tim Burton rots in hell.

LOL not a fan then, Brodie?

Personally I adore Tim Burton's work, and "NBC" is one of my favourite movies. Jack's an awesome character and Sally's great too. Such a cute lil' couple. :P

[insert cat hiss here]

Man, you've never seen any of the first 2 Batman movies, have you?

my friend is a NBX-MAs master. He has collectible clip on pins of the movie and he knows the songs and charaters by heart. This movie is pretty enjoyable and a film best in Musical and Clayamation pupets. One of Burton's best films.

This movie is unlike any other stop-motion film.

Happy 10 years.

If you're going to get the DVD, get it at Best Buy.

Best Buy, eh?

I can't believe this movie's 10 years old already! I really like this one. I gotta go buy it.

Man, ten years...

*suddenly feels very old*

Machi....would a mango of youngnessnessness make you feel better? :lol:

you know claymation movies became quite popular after this movie came out. in fact, i can remember seeing it when it first and even then the magic is there. call me morbid but i was thought of jack as a cutie...*looks at all the stares* ok...next ademdum

this movie deserves much props...i mean...you cna't beat a movie capable of holding its own on Halloween or X-mas:) way to go Burton!!!!

hey this guy directed Planet of the Apes...Sleepy Hallow...list goes on...so yea

much love to this movie:)
