Tim Burton: Still My Hero


Tim Burton’s holiday classic, "A Nightmare Before Christmas," has received a state-of-the-art makeover and will be debuting its new Disney Digital 3D graphics on Friday, Oct. 20.

"It's almost like being on the set -- you can see the texture of the puppets, and see the characters in the foreground and others in the background," said Movie Writer Tim Burton about the digital reworking. "When we were making the movie, we felt in our hearts like our characters were real. When you see it in 3D, everything comes to life and you can literally see through the eye sockets of Jack Skellington."

You know, I had originally intended to blog about Tim directing the new Killers video, but this is infinitely better. I'm so excited about this that I can't even contain myself. The only thing ruining this moment for me is the fact that the journalist referred to it as "A Nightmare Before Christmas" rather than "The Nightmare Before Christmas." And for that...he should die.
