Rezensionen

Dave Bossert has created a wonderful book to commemorate Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, more than thirty years on. He masterfully blends interviews with Tim Burton, Danny Elman, and myself along with many of the talented artists who worked on the film into a very nuanced and personal picture of how the movie actually came together, was made, and went from a cult favorite to a holiday classic. It's a remarkable book about a remarkable, one-of-a-kind renegade project that has stood the test of time.
Henry Selick, Director, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

"Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a cult-film favorite for fans of Tim Burton, Halloween, Santa, and Disney .

. . now Dave Bossert gives us the must-have bible about the history and making of this legendary animated classic."
Don Hahn, Producer/Director

"Dave Bossert's research is impeccable, his text is an easy read, and the selection of illustrations is stimulating from start to finish. This is the book I always wanted to own about a movie that has haunted me ever since its release."
Didier Ghez, Author of the book series They Drew As They Pleased The Hidden Art of Disney

"What a pleasure it is to be transported back in time by author Dave Bossert and given this fascinating, hands-on ride through the making of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. With meticulous attention to detail combined with an incredible amount of research, Bossert's passion for our little movie shines brightly as he adroitly shares our creation story with the reader. It is a joy, and an honor, to see this beautifully-documented and insightful book, as it reveals the commitment of our close-knit crew to elevating the art of stop-motion and crafting the timeless story of Sally and Jack."
Eric Leighton, Animation Supervisor, Tim Burton s The Nightmare Before Christmas

"I love it when Dave Bossert writes about all things Disney. As Danny Elfman's agent and a hardcore Disney geek, I was around from the earliest moments of the creation of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, yet for all I heard and saw and thought I knew, I am stupefied at how much deeper Bossert digs and unearths. Nightmare is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. So glad the story of its birth has gotten the full Bossert treatment."
