ABOUT "THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS"
First released in 1993, Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was directed by Henry Selick ("James and the Giant Peach"), and based on a story and characters by Tim Burton. The film follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King, as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of Sally, 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. Driven by an unforgettable Grammy-nominated soundtrack featuring songs by Oscar nominee Danny Elfman, Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" at El Capitan Theatre in 4D promises to be fun for the whole family.
