Why haven't you watched it before now? blink.gif It's much better than Corpse Bride, that was pretty disappointing to me...

I liked both of them too. XD

My favorite Nightmare Before Christmas songs are "What's this?", "Oogie Boogie's Song", and "Poor Jack". happy.gif;;
I also really just love that there are two people playing jack... Danny Elfman sings all of his parts, and some other actor does the Speaking roll. I can't even tell.

And you know, a lot of people were disappointed in Corpse Bride, but I thought it was a good movie. There wasn't as much to sing over, but that made sense with the film's setting.

They're both good stuff. happy.gif

I found a pretty cool Marilyn Manson version of "This is Halloween" xD

It's a good movie, though, and I love nearly all the music from it. In my opinion, that is one of the most appealing parts of the whole thing.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they come out with a 3D version recently...?

What about Beetlejuice? I'd say that's on par with a Nightmare Before Christmas personally, both great films.

Haha I know what you mean a bit....I've seen a lot of those movies...I just don't remember them.

I recently saw Boondock Saints for the first time! It was soooo good...I'm glad i stayed up till like 5am to watch it. Very violent and full of cuss words though tongue.gif

I LOVE Tim Burton films.....and I adore clay animation. Sweeney Todd was really good too...saw that this weekend.

Yes. There has been a 3d version.
I believe it first came out in 2006.
I was unable to see it.
The DVD of the original version is no longer being made. Which leads me to
believe eventually another edition will be released with the 3d version.
Gheys.
I remember buying TNBC on VHS in WalMart when it came out....
I was just a wee leetle babehh!

What happens is Disney puts movies back in their "vault", and then take them out every so often. Like, can anyone find a copy of Sleeping Beauty? I sure can't. XD

Anyway, it's sort of a patent thing. It's a sneaky way to renew the patent (or perhaps it's a licensing issue?) before someone takes it.

Rest assured, it'll be back on the streets if it's gone now.

Um yeah. I know they do this.
I've been a Disney movie buyer for a while.

I wouldn't've thought anything of it if you hadn't put the "not to be mean" in there. D:

unsure.gif
Anyway, I didn't assume you didn't know, I was just putting the information out there for people who Don't know. Reason being: I'm about to become an Aunt, and the mother to be had no idea that you can't just get whatever Disney movie you want in the stores all of the time--which I thought was common knowledge. I was just talking about this on Friday with her.

So uh... sorry I made you feel weird by discussing Disney's Licensing/Patent Renewal schemes? blink.gif

*edit: I mistyped About D:

I work in our local music//movie store.
People come in looking for all kinds of Disney movies but I have to explain that they're
put back in the vault for a while. They still don't understand. But I live in the south where not
many people understand much of anything. Haha!
>.<
&& yeah. It does get on my nerves.

As far as Tim Burton goes, Sweeney Todd keeps with his demented film making style smile.gif I enjoyed it...

And yes, TNBC is and shall forever be INCREDIBLE.
