Video for Nightmare Before Christmas

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 animated musical film written and produced by Tim Burton, directed by Henry Selick and scored by Danny Elfman. The film was based on Burton's characters and original story. It was released alongside The Wrong Trousers, a 1993 short film.

The film was a critical and commercial success, with particular praise awarded for Tim Burton's original storyline and stop motion animation, combined with Danny Elfman's creative musical score. Following its theatrical, and home video release, the film has earned a significant following, including merchandise, video games and other related media dedicated to the film. The film has also been theatrically re-released on several occasions, including two remastered 3-D versions released in Disney Digital 3-D on October 20, 2006, and October 19, 2007. It is rated PG for "some scary images" by the MPAA. Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, commented that the film was "too dark for children"[citation needed], therefore it would be decided that Disney release the film under Touchstone Pictures. However, the 2006 3-D version of the film was released under the Walt Disney banner and the upcoming Special Edition DVD is released under the Disney banner.

Box Office
The film eventually grossed over $50 million domestically, which would equal over $79.46 million adjusted for inflation. On October 27, 2000, the film was re-issued in 72 theaters but failed to match the success of the film's initial release; it ultimately grossed just $376,586 domestically and did not receive a worldwide release
