NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Henry Selick has admitted he thinks it’s ‘unfair’ all the credit for The Nightmare Before Christmas went to Tim Burton when it was him and his team who helped bring the characters to life on screen.
The 1993 animated film is a fan favourite, but Selick, 69, revealed he never signed up for it being labelled ‘Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas’ when he directed it.
He told the AV Club: ‘That was a little unfair because it wasn’t called Tim Burton’s Nightmare until three weeks before the film came out.
‘And I would have been fine with that, if that’s what I signed up for. But Tim was in L.A. making two features while I directed that film, and I mean, Tim is a genius – or he certainly was in his most creative years.
