A holiday tradition continues this Halloween when Tim Burton's classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas, makes a return to the big screen in stunning Disney Digital 3. 

"The dazzling new make-over of the musical-fantasy was led by the film's original filmmaking team of Academy Award-nominated writer/producer Tim Burton (upcoming Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride) and director Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach) as well as the talented technical wizards at Industrial Light + Magic in collaboration with In-Three, Inc.," state press notes.
 
"Audiences will get closer than ever to Halloweentown's beloved Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington (voice of Chris Sarandon), as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday.  Against the advice of Sally (voice of Catherine O'Hara), a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock, Shock, and Barrel – to help him kidnap Santa Claus. Jack eventually realizes his mistake but has to contend with the evil Oogie Boogie before he can make things right and restore the Christmas holiday.
 
"Fueled by an unforgettable Grammy-nominated soundtrack featuring ten ghoulishly delightful songs by Oscar-nominee Danny Elfman (Corpse Bride, Big Fish) who also provided the singing voice for Jack, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D combines the Oscar-nominated artistry of stop-motion animation with state-of-the-art digital technology to create a unique and entertaining movie-going experience that has become annual holiday event for the entire family."
