Funny enough, Disney fired him for "wasting resources" (when he directed the original Frankenweenie short). Not to mention his "Hansel and Gretel" short on Disney Channel was broadcast there only once due to being supposedly scary. It wasn't until his Batman movie was successful that he came back to Disney to work on this movie and "James and the Giant Peach".
My boyfriend send me a picture of the grinch with max and when he died it show jack skellington and zero He know I like the nightmare before Christmas so I was shook to know that as well
+Courtney Spencer Tim Burton didn't direct this film, he designed the characters and wrote the story on which it was based. He had an influence on the production, bu not to the extent as the other films you listed.
I hear yah. It's so fucking rare to great pieces of art like Raging Bull, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Godfather, Once Upon A Time In The West. It's really a fucking shame!
synecdoche new york, kubo and the two strings, coraline, the lego movie, lots of nolan's work, anomalisa, edgar wrights filmography, t2 trainspotting, silence, nocturnal animals, jackie, la la land, moonlight, arrival, your name ae all fantastic movies that came out recently which I would consider masterpieces. If you look under the radar, you will notice that we live in a new golden age. But everyone ignores it and thats unfourtanate. Not people that watch blockbusters are the problem: YOU PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM!
Tim button wanted such a unique look that when they did sketches he asked the artist to use their left hand for a different and wildly unique character
"I'd like to think our effort to use real lights, real materials, real sets, and real talent will give the audience something special, a certain level of charm" ... well that is the understatement of the century
@@Deew420top Tim Burton didn't direct because he was directing Batman Returns at the time. Tim Burton created the Nightmare Before Christmas story, characters, wrote and drew the book and produced the film, Glenn Shadix, who voiced of the Halloween Town Mayor, pointed out "Tim [Burton] oversaw every detail of that film. Henry Selick was wonderful as a hands-on director of the stop-motion and an incredible group of animators, but the heart and soul of that movie is Tim Burton. He made decisions all along the way. He wasn't at Skellington Productions in San Francisco all that often, but Tim was certainly at the helm creatively and in on all the decisions." Tim Burton explained, "When I wasn't shooting [Batman Returns], I would go up there [to the Skellington Productions studio] because I loved it, but most of the time, Henry [Selick] would just send me stuff - there'd be a few shots during the week - and so over the period of a couple of years, it all came together. Anyway, I would get a reel and I had an editing room and I would edit some shots. I could still affect things as I needed to. When I saw the first shots, I knew that Halloween Town had to be darker and blacker." www.mouseplanet.com/12183/The_Making_of_Tim_Burtons_The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas__Part_One
It's awesome how close to Tim's art the movie actually was. I think that's is what is so great about his work. You can really see his personality in it. So much of him shines through the camera.
8 years late but i’m very interested in seeing this, i tried looking up pictures and can’t find it anywhere. perhaps you have a way to post it somewhere?🙂
This is my reason for having such great respect for Tim Burton and his crew, because they are so amazing and talented. This is my favorite movie ever☺️
This film was truly ground breaking in the stop animation department. It's because of the amount of hard work and detail that these meticulous animators put in that it's such a beloved classic and has survived for 20+ years and is considered a Halloween/Christmas favorite. I love this movie, watch it every Christmas. I only watch the first half up to Jack's lament at Halloween then finish the movie at Christmas. LOL.
I've watched this movie a every halloween and christmas since 1993 around its release and it never gets boring, my favourite movie by far, its good to know this painful effort is still appreciated more than 20 years later. The set art is amazing too, even watching it now after so many years when were spoilt with modern effects, this art work stands out so well. This is work that needs to be done more now.
@@larniieplayz6285 Only in the sense that we never have hand crafted sets much anymore. Miniature or otherwise. They exist, but not in full and such detail as they once did. Usually just enough for CGI and green screens to work around. Stop motion animation is one of the few unique styles that CGI hasn't been able to replicate. As much as I love so much what is done now, my point was that even with all we're capable of now, this style from so far back is still such an unique way of making a film and stands apart as an amazing style that is as beautiful as any special effects to witness. If no more so.
@@Cloudsouth Yes RIGHT, my favorite movie from all time. I still watch but less than usual because it forces me into a nostalgic state that doesn't exist any anymore. I love all Tim Burton movies including BatmanaU
This movie is my Christmas tradition and it always felt real to me. I had no idea how it was made, just considered it real. Now I'm so grateful & appreciate the creativity and patience that went into creating a classic.
An immense level of patience lol. They need to re-release this in theaters. Having seen this in 93, it blew my mind as a kid, and I feel like the new generations need to experience it on the big screen.
@@chscott9525i‘ll be watching it in a theatre at midnight today. i got to see it on the big screen many times already. the perk of having arthouse cinemas with good programs. i hope they‘ll show vincent as an opener, they often combine those two.
14:03 She was my teacher for a pre-college course I took over the summer. She was constantly telling us stories about her time working on the movie and other stop motion projects. It took me forever to find any sort of interview she was in about the movie, finally found one here.
I was curious to watch this feature because my teacher worked on the film. lol she was telling me stories when she worked on the project. I found her, didn't know she would be interviewed.
i watch this movie every single year on halloween and christmas eve and i could never ever get bored of it. By far the best movie ever. I love it! The songs in this movie are amazing they make me so happy somehow. Well done to everyone involved!!😊
@@chscott9525I'm 37 too. Its nice to find someone my age that likes Music from Movies as much as I do. I LOVED playing songs from movies in BAND. Danny elfman and John Williams r my FAVORITE Composers of Movies.
As a kid watching this movie I always got an eerie feeling it was real.. and to know now this was stop animation.. just .. words can’t even describe. It makes it that much more special and the time spent on this will live on for ever especially in my household🎃🥰
Just finished watching it again as Halloween tradition. I’m still amazed by how beautifully made this movie is no matter how many times I watch it. It’s definitely one of my favourite movies, it’s such a classic. All the work that was put into it clearly paid off. ❤️
It’s absolutely AMAZING to see all of the hard work it takes to make these kinds of movies. This is my favorite animated movie of all time. The talent these people have is astounding.
i swear tim burten is the most amazing movie person ever i love seeing how this while prosesse gets done if i had that kind of talent i would be doing this stop motion for the rest of meh life
My Romance23 The director of this movie is not Tim Burton, it was Henry Selick. However, Tim Burton came up with the idea. Henry Selick is a brilliant director who made many several brilliant Stop Motion movies. I would recommend Coraline, it's my favorite movie.
My Romance23 Tim Burton worked on it and gave the original sketches Nightmare Before Christmas was based on, however he went to direct Batman instead. Henry Selick did most of it. Cheers!
The fact that all of these people are spending so much time, creating the sets, creating the puppets and creating all of the environments for the puppets to interact and whatever the amount of time that it takes to do all that stuff is absolutely mine boggling.
I am so glad they made this movie! All the hard work really paid off! It's my favorite Disney movie, my favorite movie to watch for Halloween and Christmas, and one of my favorite movies of all time 💖 I love the art, the characters, the music, and the comedy 😁
greg dykstra is my uncle, I have 3 jack skellington original skin postive models, as well he gave me a sally screen used armature and a zero model, as well i have an oggie boogie sculp that is a little chipped but non the less the original. he had a ton of great stuff he gifted me and family in 1998, then these things started selling for big money. I have 5 tombstones, sallys basket and my favorite the casket sliegh
+Paul Tennis wow lucky ive been looking for a Lock on screen puppet but i cant find one.. only saw a shock up for auction a few years ago on a website. im a big fan of this movie.
REBECCA MAY Just remember that these guys are the MOST patient people you will ever see in the movie industry. (at least thats what Ive seen and heard)
I still love and have this movie on VHS since I was 7 years old, brings me back memories looking back. I also still know the words to the song "what's this" Tim Burton, always know how to make Disney movies and characters look adorable than scary thumbs up if you grew up watching the nightmare before christmas in those days when it first came.
I feel lots of admiration for all the crew involved in this film specifically but after watching this is like ...wow! As a drawer I will tell you that the amount of work and dedication of this animators, sculptors and the story boarder is mind blowing. Incomparable movie
I love this movie so much I have watched it every Halloween and Christmas since I was 9! It never gets old, I have seriously thought about the nightmare before christmas being the theme of my bedroom
I remember watching this movie on VHS just so I could watch this post credits mini documentary and the few Tim Burton short films at the end, pure nostalgia! Thanks for posting ❤
I know some people are sick and tired of seeing Nightmare Before Christmas all over the place, between Halloween and Christmas, but this movie looks so incredible. The team did an amazing job, and it is so cool on how they made this movie 💀🎥✨
I used to have a crush on jack skellington when I was 2 hahaha I also thought of Sally as my kid the fact that I was only 2 and I had a crush on jack was so humiliating to talk about
Tim Burton is amazing with his films from Sweeny Todd nightmare before Christmas even corpse bride Tim Burton has such an awesome imagination and brings them to life!! Can't wait for watever film he has planned next keep on giving us amazing films Tim Burton🥰🥰
They should keep these sets and action figures in a museum or even use them for a sequel!!!! You have everything you need along with making new story boards, then you need lights camera action!!!
I just watched this movie for the first time, and it’s like the best thing I’ve ever seen 🤣 the process of making stop-motion intrigues me so much and the music is sooo on point. “Sally’s Song” has to be my favorite. Probably going to watch this movie every year, right in the middle of the time between Halloween and Christmas.
@@chscott9525I watched it at Halloween a few years ago. I wasn't interested in it when it came out, but now I LOVE IT. I can't wait to MEET Sally and Jack at Disney Halloween party in 2024
If you haven't seen ParaNorman, you should def check that out. It was completely photographed/filmed with a personal handheld Laika camera, with added cg effects.
This is my favorite movie ever. So artistic, creative, creepy, and lovable. I mean , nobody could ever pull all that off making it into one film. Complete Masterpiece! Thank you cause you all made my childhood that much better.
Quick fun fact: the person that narrated this little mini documentary is “Corey Burton” who voiced the person on the “Mickey and friends tram” at Disneyland. He also voiced the ghost host in Disneyland’s Haunted mansion Holiday
"The Nightmare Before Christmas brings to the screen dazzling stop-motion imagery." *Shows scene of Oogie being revealed as a disgusting mass of wriggling bugs* Yes, simply dazzling.
I love Tim Burton ♡♡♡♡ He's one of my favorite movie directors I love Tim Burton's art style and paintings It's creepy and fantastic at the same time! It's like a combination of Fantasy, Drama, Comedy and sometimes including Musical just like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride
Did you know oogie boogie was skinned alive in the desert and left for dead so when maggots came to eat the rest of the meat he sewed himself up with this material that no bugs can eat though
Nightmare before christmas is a stop-motion, puppet animation, not claymation. The characters are built using various materials, mainly latex to allow ease of movement. A claymation would be where the characters are made from clay, or in some cases for example Wallace and gromit, where the characters are made from plastercine.
Such extraordinary talent. I absolutely love this movie. it will always be one of my favorites of all time. thank you for gracing us with this masterpiece!!!!!
30 years old and as timeless as ever It's from the mind of Tim Burton but director Henry Selick is the one to thank for this gem of a holiday flick despite it being only 76 minutes long Jack Skellington embodies a preoccupation common in Burton's work over the years; the terrifying notion of being misunderstood That's something a lot of us can relate to indeed, at times we can be carried away with something new going way overboard with enthusiasm Halloween is special but we're reminded too why Christmas is just as beloved This works immensely thanks to its original storytelling, stellar animation, excellent set and character designs, clever camera angles, memorable songs, a slick villain, and a very good message of not messing with another holiday learning to cope with what we have Danny Elfman's score is unforgettable as well Truth be told the movie made even the executives who worked on it very nervous The dialogue is very basic and it's not that deep as far as character complexity Yet this still worked regardless inspiring all kinds of merchandise from holiday decor to clothing for Hot Topic to video games to board games to housewares to theme park attractions etc. It made over $50 million and winning critics and audiences alike being a perennial favorite for Halloween lovers as well as a hot item for costumes, cosplayers, and conventions 'Nightmare Before Christmas' remains astonishingly imaginative, brisk, beautifully told in its storytelling, and operates as a simplistic fairytale being very accessible to everyone serving as a cautionary fable
It’s 2018 aka the 25th anniversary of this movie. For Halloween I was jack Skellington because I’m so obsessed with this movie! I swear this is one of the best movies ever because they put so much Time in effort into this movie that it is actually insane. This will always and forever be my favourite movie
Tonight my sister was watching this film on TV and when i heard it was released in 93 i shocked and now watching this video.I could never be so patient to work on something like this.There are a lots of small details in movie.Respect for effords.
One clue as to the kind of producer Tim Burton was on this movie is the temperaments of the people who worked underneath him. At 2:49, Henry Selick seems pleased to be directing the movie. But at 3:33, you can kind of tell that Danny Elfman is pissed off about the fact that the movie started production without a script. Elfman has since admitted that he and Burton had a major falling-out on this movie. Elfman was frustrated that this movie (as well as "Batman Returns") consumed two years of his life, and I think he was also annoyed that Burton could never make up his mind on things. That's why Burton replaced Elfman with Howard Shore on "Ed Wood", although he and Elfman later reconciled on "Mars Attacks!". They have since mutually agreed never to speak again about the bad experience they had working together on Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Haunted Mansion is MUCH older than this movie. It opened in Disneyland in 1969. Also, Tim Burton owns 50% of the rights to the film - and he supposedly won't let Disney make a ride of it (so far.)
