Although Tim Burton has been involved in a long list of memorable films, there’s no denying that one of the director’s most beloved films is the 1993 cult classic, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. However, despite the acclaimed director having his name plastered all over the film, his role in its production wasn’t quite what many people assume it was.
Tim Burton originally conceived and produced The Nightmare Before Christmas, but he never stepped behind the camera to direct it. This honor instead went to another esteemed director: Henry Selick. While not nearly as well-known a name as the man who formerly directed Batman and Edward Scissorhands, Selick has helmed a series of underappreciated films. However, Selick’s most unique accomplishment will always be directing the movie that many people believe is Tim Burton’s greatest film.
Burton initially intended to turn the story into a holiday special that his favorite actor, Vincent Price, would voice. He even went so far as to create concept art, storyboards, and character sculptures with the help of Rick Heinrichs. Disney was originally behind the project every step of the way, but once Burton began turning in materials, they got cold feet, deeming that the tone of the film was “too weird” for the company.
