the Nightmare before Christmas 3D
I was more than curious of this new re-release. I was more glad that I got to see this movie on the big screen theater again. But I wasn't prepare for the majestic sight. The 3D technology did come a long way, although I still had to wear a black plastic glasses.
The original animation is a visual treat regardless it was in 3D or not. However, when it did get this 3D makeover, I didn't think I saw this movie properly, although my count of watching this movie is nearing two digits. The level of details that popped into my eyes were astounding. It's not one of those 3D animation that tries to poke-your-eyes-out, even though it did have one in the intro. Regardless, I felt like I was watching these figures coming alive before my eyes. More apt description would be like having these character animated before my eyes, as if I was following their movements with a camera.
The movie is a treat, the magic is still there, and the fans came out in drove. The theater was packed in a Sunday afternoon in the Union Square theater, only one of two theaters that featured this unique technology and this special animation. Although I had to pay $13!-a price that's almost there with a discount of new release DVDs, I came out enchanted and enriched with the 3D experience like no other. Do yourself a favor and catch it before it's too late. I hope they would re-release this in DVD so that I can watch at home, with the plastic glasses I left with from the theater.
I wonder if they'll do Corpse Bride next? Corpse Bride is not up to a par with the Nightmare, but the stop-motion animation in that movie is fluid.
I came back home, humming to all the great songs in the movie once more. Yes! I'm Jack, the Pumpkin King!
