A classic reappeared on the big screen in 3D. That sounds freaking amazing! Compared to the other 3D movies I've seen, this one should be breathtaking.

I wondered how they were gonna make it 3D. And I somehow knew they weren't gonna be able to do it unless they refilmed the whole picture from scratch. But that doesn't sound feasible. And I was right, it isn't fully 3D, but they did add extra depth to the picture, although very annoying.

Basically, they took 2D images and created depth between them. So while the characters don't have any depth, they do appear to pop off the background, but not off the screen. In fact, nothing pops off the screen. It was very distracting for me, the struggle my mind had, looking at a 2D picture, which is almost 3D, but it isn't and going back and forth. I found it distracting throughout the movie, wanting more consistency out of the Hybrid Dimensions.

There is nothing breathtaking about it. You might as well watch it on DVD if you have it. Unless you're intrigued by the bigger screen, stay home.

I knew the 3D gimmick was a stupid Disney money grab idea. It's perfect as originally released.

Monster house in 3d was amazing. They showed clips of Nightmare Before Christmas 3D and I thought it looked amazing too.

Perhaps they didn't play it on the right projectors or an official dolby 3d theater?

I actually had tickets to this, but my wife caught pnemonia and we couldn't go and I had to eat the cost of the tickets. I can't decide if I want to buy tickets and try to go again.

Then again, we've already seen Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D so to speak, Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland! If you are a Nightmare Before Christmas fan, do yourself a favor and get to Disneyland for Haunted Mansion Holiday, it's awesome.
