It's October, so I figured that there would be no better time to read about Tim BUrton's crossover holiday movie the Nightmare Before Christmas and I was definitely right! I enjoyed delving into the making of the film so much so that I just had to go and rewatch it. Knowing all the nitty gritty details about how it was made actually made the film even more enjoyable to watch, since I started noticing all the production details and could appreciate the huge amounts of effort put in by the crew to make the first feature-length stop-motion animated film. As per usualy with these types of book, I was left wanting more, but Thompson collected an admirable amount of material and presented it in a highly accessible (and readable) manner. ( )
