Know I am a huge fan
of Tim Burton’s classic film, But i have not seen the 3D re-release. Has anybody seen it yet? What did you think
about it? I probably see it tonight though.
I just recently saw it at my local theater on Saturday,
with my dad and sister, Leia. One hour of torture. 
Heheh – I’m not a big Tim Burton fan. Even though
I absolutely loved Corpse Bride, all of his other
productions just weird me out and scare me to bits. As of today, I still have that [i]"What’s
This?"[/i] song stuck in my head… 
However, I do have to admit that it was a
very interesting film to watch. Stop-motion animation is something you hardly ever see anymore, with the
exception of Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit shorts and feature length film. The 3-D
format is the only version of The Nightmare Before Christmas I have seen, as I had
never seen the film before until recently (Saturday). The very beginning of the film is wicked cool in 3-D,
but…other than that…it is nothing spectacular. In some shots, you can tell that the movie is in 3-D, and at
other times…the change is almost unrecognizable. A friend of my dad’s saw it and didn’t know what all the
fuss was about; neither, for that matter, can I. 
But…I’ll let the rest of you Burton-fans judge
for yourselves whether the film is worth watching in 3-D or not. As for me? I was just glad to keep the glasses
after the film was over…
Edit: In case any of you were wondering, the
edited version of Knick-Knack was shown before the film.
I am not
really a fan of this movie, nor a fan of Tim Burton films. I hate to say it, but in my opinion, I pick
niether.
I haven’t actually
seen the 3D version, but, being a fan of NBC, I feel that this 3D version would probably spoil it. It actually
sounds pretty pointless to me- I’d rather they just left the film alone.
I’m a
fan of Burton’s work - I love Nightmare Before Christmas, I think the Corpse Bride was weaker in terms of plot
- if it had been fifteen minutes shorter, it would have been a perfect hour-long short film, but at the 76 minute
mark it felt stretched, and that’s actually pretty short for a feature XD Anyway, I’d like to see it in 3D,
but I doubt it’s going to appear in the UK (any word on that, anyone?).
Vim: It lists opening dates worldwide at IMDb so check
there.
I was skepticle about it being in 3D at first too but after listening to Lasseter’s interview I’m
now very anxious to see it.
That was my same
reaction. It’s a good film, but I just didn’t understand why it needed to be put into 3D thirteen years later.
However, that interview made it a bit more exciting. I’m going to try and see it on Nov. 3rd… too much work
this weekend.
vimfuego- It’s out in the UK on the 17th of November! Whooo! 
I’m a huge fan of the music and animation in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I’m very curious how they could make 3-D possible in a 2-D film and how well executed it looks. I don’t plan to
see any 3-D films in the theaters anytime soon. In all honesty, I think 3-D is a gimmick.
But I would LOVE
to see Knick-Knack in 3-D!!!
I’m a HUGE ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ fan. I’ve yet
to see the 3-D version, but I know someone who gets loads of discount DVDs and rarely goes to the theatres- he
saw it, and plans to go again. I might see if it’s showing after Halloween- it’s going to be very crowded in
the theatres around here. It’s flooded with fans! 
I’d like to catch it in 3D, but only because I haven’t
seen it in so long, I can’t remember what happens in it.
And let’s not forget, people, rumor
has it that Burton is working on a project at everyone’s favorite CG animation studio…
