The Nightmare Before Christmas Returning to Theaters for its 30th Anniversary
Guess who’s back after 30 years! Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is set to enchant audiences once again as it celebrates its 30th anniversary with a grand return to theaters. On October 20th, this stop-motion animated classic by director Henry Selick will grace screens across the United States and Canada, three decades after its original October 1993 debut. Adding a magical touch to the celebration, the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, will showcase The Nightmare Before Christmas in 4D—a 3D presentation with immersive in-theater effects. The anniversary screenings at this iconic venue will feature specialty concessions, souvenirs, and more.
To commemorate this special re-release, Disney has commissioned new artwork inspired by the film, created by Shepard Fairey’s Studio Number On (see below).
