I love Nightmare Before Christmas. It's one of my favorite animated films ever. It's probably the last great movie Tim Burton made. Today I got to see it again on the big screen in digital 3D. It was amazing, and easily the best 3D movie I've ever seen. This new 3D technology they're using is absolutely stunning.
Before the film they showed Pixar's first short, Knick Knack, which had also been converted to 3D. Then the new Disney Digital 3D logo appeared. It seems that Disney is really getting behind this new technology and I'm very excited about that. All the 3D movies I've seen in theaters before this were a lot more primitive. The only time the 3D was evident was when something would extend from the center of the screen. But now it's reached a point where the visual quality equals that of huge amusement park 3D movies, like Muppets 3D. The visuals in Nightmare didn't just pop out occasionally. Every frame was layered from the foreground to the background. I was blown away by how good it looked, especially considering that none of the film's content had been altered. Nothing was added to Nightmare to give it an extra 3D kick. Still, it looks like it was made to be in 3D. The camera is constantly moving through something or switching to a point of view shot, characters often lean in towards the camera, random objects are flying all over the place. The Oogie Boogie scenes were especially beautiful.
Do yourself a favor and go see this if it's playing near you.
