Nightmare Before Christmas -3D

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2006)

The movie was beautifully done. The animation, the colors, and the characters were wonderful. The music was unforgettable. I love the 3D format and I believe that this is the future of movie-making.
I would like to make one observation. I wish that the audience had become more involved in the action of the film. This is the magic of 3D. I still felt, watching the movie, that I was on the outside of a window looking in. I have seen many 3D movies where the audience is drawn into the film and experiences what the characters are experiencing. The 3D format is most successful when the movie takes on a Disney ride quality. At the beginning of the movie, a scary lighted Halloween pumpkin jumped out at the audience and almost touched us. Everyone in the theater applauded wildly. It was thrilling. But this is where it ended. Nothing like this happened again. When Jack, the protagonist, was drawn down into Christmas Town, we should have been falling with him. When Jack was riding the sleigh through the sky and going down chimneys, the audience should have been on that sleigh with him and experiencing the sensation of going down the chimneys. Please involve the audience and make us really a part of the action of the movie experience.It is my opinion that if the movie industry does this, the success with 3D will be beyond belief.
