Unveiling the Hidden Legacy of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'
As "The Nightmare Before Christmas" celebrates its 30th anniversary, the filmmakers reflect on how the unconventional stop-motion animation musical initially unnerved Disney executives. Released under Disney's adult-oriented label Touchstone Pictures, the film didn't fit the mold of their other animated films and was feared to hurt the brand. However, over the years, the movie has gained immense popularity, with live concerts, seasonal attractions at Disney theme parks, and a wide range of merchandise. The film's enduring appeal lies in its memorable songs, unconventional storytelling, and unique design. Despite the success, there are no plans for sequels or reboots, making the original film a one-of-a-kind feat.
