I adore the Nightmare Before Christmas movie. That being said, I planned a trip to the bookstore to pick this up the day the hardcover came out. After reading it, I dropped it disgustedly back on the shelf and left the store. I understand that it's supposed to be Burton's 'original' version of the story, and in such a way it's a good collector's item and concept in its own right. But without Oogie Boogie, Sally, (and I belive much of Lock/Shock/Barrel) it just wasn't worth it to me. I want to share Nightmare with a girl I babysit who doesn't do TV yet (which I think is great) and I was looking forward to having a picture book to share with her before playing her the music. It ruins it if the story is entirely different or missing most of the elements I found most enchanting. I guess my end result is that it still has good pictures and is a cute story in it's own way, but I much prefer the fuller movie version of the tale. Now I'm off to look for a version of the book that tells the whole story, though it would be nice if they did a similar well-drawn picture book with the movie version of the plot in the future.
My best advice is that if you're a Nightmare fanatic this might be a good collector's item. If you have a younger child unfamiliar with the story (and undisturbed by creepy elements) who you don't plan on immediately sharing the movie or songs with, this would be a fine purchase. But if you're getting it for a kid who likes the movie already or is going to be able to watch or listen to it soon, don't waste your money or even a trip to the library.

Tim Burton The Nightmare Before Christmas Disney Book Group Tim Burton 9780786849086 Books Reviews

Tim Burton does not disappoint with this little story (except that he leaves out Sally). It is very well written and fun for my daughter to listen to. The biggest disappointment is that half the pages do not show the entire image. More than half on the right page is cut off every time so on one page I can see Jacks arm but not Jack. The page where Zero is guiding the sleigh is missing Zero. Not sure if I could read it on a app other than with better results but the formatting on the app does not work.
This is one of my new favorites. I've seen the movie a thousand times but never knew there was a book. It's so well done! The pictures are adorable and the writing flows beautifully. My 3 year old daughter is gonna flip when she unwraps it on Christmas eve and I look forward to reading it to her for many years to come.
The artwork is insane in this book. So beautiful. The Story is a shorter, rhyming version of the movie and more focused on the Christmas part of the movie (skips over the Halloween section). But seriously such a great book.
Bought this item as a gift for Christmas for my girlfriend that's loves anything NBC definitely a great item for anyone who collects or loves NBC. Personally the item was in amazing condition came extremely fast the art work on this book is amazing. All around 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keeps my girlfriend happy and that makes me happy so thank you again!
Most people who follow Walt Disney Studios' films know about the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". A stop motion masterpiece directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton (unavailable as he was filming Batman Returns), this fable is the third part of a trilogy Tim Burton did I personally call "The Christmas Trilogy". One that started with Edward Scissorhands, continued with Batman Returns, and finished with this story. That of Jack Skellington who, tired of the same relentless life as Pumpkin King in the world of Halloween, wishes of something new and inadvertently stumbles unto the world of Christmas. Uncovering a culture he wishes to share his own take to all the children in the real world. A good intention that brings forth more trouble than what he intended.

Let's make it straight, this book is not a direct adaptation of the movie. Instead, this is the original poem Tim Burton had written and proposed to the Studios when he worked as a Disney Animator in the late seventies and early eighties. A poem with his original illustrations accompanying his stanzas. Artwork that is instantly recognizable with its German expressionism and its faerie colors, and character designs. Regarding that last aspect, it is interesting to see that although the characters of Oogie Boogie and Sally are absent, characters with their eventual designs do appear in the background at a certain page. As to whether or not Tim Burton had done those paintings in the seventies before he even got to produce this movie in the nineties, it would be wonderful if he had done that art in the seventies as that specific illustration would foreshadow Sally and Boogie's eventual presences in this story.
Among my favorite artworks, I particularly adore the two-paged painting that presents Jack falling down into Christmas town, and also the last one as Halloween land is.... no, I won't reveal that spoiler. Would ruin the story's punch.

Personally, I know a video version reading of that story also exists on certain DVD releases. Narrated by Christopher Lee, his voice has the perfect tone acting skills to give the story the emotional reading it deserves. Not only that, it also ties in with what Burton did with Vincent Price for his first short film, "Vincent". A masterpiece that was the best love letter a fan could give to his favorite actor, this special reading is another tribute to another actor Burton respected.

In sum, the "Nightmare Before Christmas" book is the perfect classic for Christmas and Halloween time. The universe for which Tim Burton shall always be fondly remembered of.
