Great news Tim Burton fans: Jack Skellington is back! No, not another sequel, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is coming back to theaters. It's being re-released in Disney Digital 3-D this fall. Oh, and yes, 3-D does mean those awesome looking glasses. The 1993 original has been given the 3-D treatment and will hit select theaters on October 20th of this year.
This is one of my favorite Tim Burton movies, and obviously my favorite of his animated ventures. The fact that it's coming to 3-D makes me excited, especially because it's the "Disney Digital 3-D", because it seems so right for a 3-D flick. It almost seems like this movie is restricted by it's 2-D medium, so if they add that next dimension, I think it will benifit the look of it. If nothing else, it will look cool.
The Disney Digital 3-D technology uses (duh) digital technology to "remaster" the movie and then shows it on digital projectors. All that "digital" makes it sharper, gives the creators more control over how it looks (ratios and colors and stuff), and gives it a general leg up. Yeah, that's great, but the clincher on why this Disney version is better than just any old 3-D is because Industrial Light & Magic does the "remastering". That's George Lucas' FX company, which, by the way, is undisputedly the very best in the business.
This is the second movie to be shown in Disney Digital 3-D, Chicken Little being the first, but it's the first that will be "remastered" in 3-D, as Chicken Little was created in both 2 and 3-D. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to go to the theaters and see this.
