Button Moon was originally conceived by Ian Allen as a stage show for Playboard Puppets in 1978. It was soon adapted into a TV series and has now become a household name. It is loved by both the very young and grown ups!
As fresh, engaging and original as it was when it was first released over 15 years ago, Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas is a showcase not just for the creative work of Mr Burton himself, but also the directorial genius of Henry Selick. For while its often assumed that Burton directed the film, its actually Selick behind the camera calling the shots. The same Henry Selick, incidentally, who directed the equally stunning Coraline more recently. Thats a film worth picking up too. But its, with some justification, Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas for which hes best known. It almost feels like a timeless tale already, as Jack Skellington, bored of arranging his usual successful Halloween, has a stab at Christmas instead. As you might expect, things dont go quite to plan, which gives Selick and Burton the chance to introduce a macabre set of terrific characters. And, set to some superb music from Danny Elfman, one of the more unusual festive fairytales goes about its business. And for such a visually striking film, Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas benefits heavily from high definition. The attention to detail with the stop motion animation is gloriously highlighted here, and with Elfmans aforementioned music eating up the breadth of the soundstage afforded by Blu-ray, its a genuine home cinema treat. Its also the kind of film that, as the past 15 years have proven, is set to be spun again and again. And this Blu-ray edition is unquestionably the best version of it you can have in your home. Whether you find it a Halloween or a Christmas treat, its strongly recommended. --Jon Foster
