Okay, here is my official review.
First off, no more of those crappy, paper, red/blue 3D glasses. Instead you are given sturdy, seemingly clear glasses individually wrapped for your protection. Now if you already wear glasses, these things become slightly uncomfortable after awhile.
It's a shame they couldn't have established which previews would appear before the film and had those done up with this effect. That would have been cool. As it was, they provide a warning screen to alert you when to put on the glasses followed by an introduction scene in true 3D. And that was very cool.
The introduction scene (as well as the Disney castle logo ) show what can be done now with 3D technology. Unfortunately, it can't be applied to films not made that way. What you get with the film itself is a depth effect very much like what you see with a View Master. Now this is a very interesting effect. However, you do not have anything coming out of the screen at you. There are a number of scenes that would have been perfect for true 3D (such as when Jack stops Boogie's Boys from fighting).
Whether or not it's in 3D this is still a great film. But if you have the chance, you should definately see this version in the theater.

Hence the phrase "if you have the chance...".
I was wondering if The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D was in 3-D for the whole movie in the select theaters it is in? I know some of the movies that come out that are 3-D like Superman Returns, The Ant Bully, and Monster House only had select scenes that were in 3-D. If anyone knows it'd be of help. Thanks.

This movie is in 3D all through the movie. Superman Return was in selected scenes and The Ant Bully was the whole movie. Not sure for Monster House.

It's mainly IMAX that does the 3D stuff. I know they did that for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last year. Its a pretty cool trend at IMAX.

actually Superman Returns was the first full length feature film to be shown in 3D at IMAX. Normally they have specially made movies for IMAX in 3D. Harry Potter and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were just shown at the IMAX 3D. Not in 3D.

Ah okay. I saw Batman Begins at the midnight premiere on the IMAX. I know they advertised some movie to be shown in 3D. Just thought it was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Its been over a year. heh Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D, but I doubt I'll get the chance.
Snowballman, thanks for the review of the 3D version of the "Nightmare Before Christmas". I've never seen the 3D version in theatres, but I've seen the original 2D version at the Lyceum Cinemas a long time ago. I have it on the original VHS tape.
I know you're talking about the new Walt Disney Pictures logo. The original 2D version had the old Touchstone Pictures logo, but the 3D version had the new Walt Disney Pictures logo, the same thing used in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (which will be coming out on DVD in December) and "Invincible" (which is not on DVD yet). Multispeedo has this same new logo used in "Nightmare Before Christmas" 3D version.

The original 2D version had the Touchstone old logo, but I checked it on YouTube and I don't have the original Touchstone Pictures logo. YouTube has the new Touchstone logo, that's the only one they have. I don't have the old logo with the original 2D version.

I saw the movie last Friday. There was this one scene where a pumpkin or something of that similiar shape looks like it's flying toward you. My friend actually jumped a bit because it wasn't expected. I think the movie is worth seeing, but then again I've loved the movie since I was a kid.
Welcome to my castle.
another example of hollywood rehashing stuff...lame
no time for love doctor jones
Hey retro_junkieee I seen that new LOGO Before from a movie I don`t know where But I like the new disney logo but I better off for the old one.

I might go see it thursday with my girlfriend
My friend has seen this, she said it's awesome. She said you notice things that you can't notice in the original.
...not just the fact that it's in 3d -.-()
I'm visiting friends and relatives in nyc on Friday so hopefully I'll be able to catch it then.
