A Nightmare Before Christmas In 3D
A Film Review By Clyde Ayles
STILL A GREAT MOVIE
In 1993 TIM BURTON treated us to a very cahrming film all done in
stop motion animation about a group of goulish creatures who try to make
Christmas a scary experience for all the boys and girls. Jack Skellington and
his group from Halloweentown kidnap Santa Claus. Jack takes over the reins and
makes Christmas a disaster. The toys are attacking the children. When he
realizes his mistake, he releases Old St. Nick and things return to normal.
The animation was and still is a delight. The unbeleivable
charming and haunting soundtrack by DANNY ELFMAN and the voices of CHRIS
SARANDON, CATHERINE O'HARA and WILLIAM HICKEY all add to the charm. Now
Disney has rereleased it in a few theatres in 3D just in time for Halloween The
film stiils has all the charm as before, but the 3D leaves something to be
desired. Many times through out the showing the 3D just does not work. But in
the long run, it is still great to see the film again. Four stars for the
movie, two stars for the 3D process. SEE YA AT THE MOVIES CLYDE
