The Nightmare Before Christmas To Have a Sequel? Director Henry Selick Spills the Beans

The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop-motion animated musical feature flick, completes 30 years of its theatrical release. Directed by Henry Selick and written by Tim Burton, the film was a sleeper hit at the box office but has been appreciated by critics and audiences over the years.

As "The Nightmare Before Christmas" turns 30, director Selick looks back at the movie as a perfect one with the perfect timing. "A perfect movie came out of the perfect time, only to grow into something far bigger over the years," Henry told People Magazine.While discussing the idea of a potential sequel, he said, “I think Tim in particular feels like, Why mess with that? He certainly doesn’t need to make more money from a sequel. He has had so many other successes, and so far, nobody’s come up with a great idea for a sequel. And I still think that Tim gets to decide. I don’t think there’s any idea that would convince him.”The Nightmare Before Christmas has been one of the most popular and most loved Disney animated flicks in the last three decades. The voice cast for Henry Selick's Halloween-Christmas musical included Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Ed Ivory.
