A Sequel for ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’ … ?
During an interview with ShockTillYouDrop.com, Henry Selick was asked about the possibility of a sequel to ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’ …
["There has been discussions over the years about a possible sequel. When those discussions came up about 7 years ago it was unsettling that it was suggested this time it would have to be done in CG. I'm glad that did not happen. But as far as coming up ideas for a sequel, you have to admit there are a lot of other great holidays for Jack Skellington to take over".]
Personally, I say let the legend be. This is a classic and needs no sequel. Sure, it has plenty of sequel possibilities, but none of them would catch fire quite like this one. Besides, the fantastic traditional animation techniques used were a major part of why the film was so magically awesome. To go full CGI with a sequel would truly be a shame. I certainly hope they do not tarnish this incredible film with any sequels, and certainly not any remakes.
Let it be!!!!!!!
Not every successful film needs a sequel. Have an original Idea and animate it..the corpse Bride was a great film so do something original, no sequels!
I’d hate for them to do a sequel — I’d love to see it as a stage production. I know every word of every song and about 99% of the dialogue. Love this movie. NO SEQUEL — stage it !
Agreed. There are just some films that should not be “sequelized”. I say the same for The Goonies. It’s a great film on its own. Let it be.
I do’nt know about that. There have been some big hits that have had some sequels that did better than the first. Take The Lion King 2 for example. It was way better than first.
