"Nightmare Before Christmas" Turns 25 Today

25 years ago, "Nightmare Before Christmas" premiered, on Oct. 13, 1993. And now, all these years later, it has become a cult classic.

This is an interview with animator Henry Selick, who directed the movie.

Speaking with Yahoo Entertainment on the 25th anniversary of Nightmare Before Christmas, Selick went in-depth about the process of creating his characters, his disagreements with Disney (the studio wanted Jack to have eyeballs) and Burton (who hated one of Selick’s favorite scenes), the twist ending that didn’t get made, and whether the glorious, laborious art of stop-motion animation will survive this century. 

You gotta read it.
