[Rumor] Disney looking to revisit The Nightmare Before Christmas, possibly live-action

Ah yes, the Disney train of "let's take magical animated films and remake them as mundane "live action" properties no one would watch if not for nostalgia".
Can't say I'm excited, but I also can't say I'm mad or anything either. Every Disney live action film thus far has kind of been just there. Glad some animators are going to get paid though, so that's a plus.

"why bother when the only good one is the jungle book" "wow shut up shill" is not the exchange I expected to read this morning
THen in another 20s years time they will all be remade once again.
He's also someone talking about brown people diluting the American gene pool, just in case you were interested lmao.
To be fair, Favreau's Jungle Book is likely better than the original animated film. Beauty and the Beast certainly wasn't better though.
Nah. The original Jungle Book is a classic, and Favreau's version was eh at best. Definitely the best of the Disney CGI films thus far, but that ain't saying much.
Yeah, fuck all these mediocre Disney remakes. They getting the bag tho
Wow, that "New Disney's Rennaissance" was shorter than expected. Now we are back to where we were before during the late 90s/00s, but instead of needless sequels, it's "live-action" remakes.
Is Disney going to actually do it live action, where you see actual real actors, or are they going to do it all cgi and then say it's live action?
Disney needs to make live action movies more like "Enchanted" and less like Jungle Book/Beauty and the Beast, that are like 90%+ full cgi.

Disney wouldn't even think about doing this unless they know they can profit from it.
There's absolutely enough within that world to explore but it really should just be a sequel / prequel rather than a live action remake
We've always enjoyed it but after going to Disneyland for the first time and seeing Haunted Mansion Holiday I'm now down for anything we can get!
On that note just give me the Del Toro Haunted Mansion film or revive the Haunted Mansion cartoon that was planned

Stop motion makes fuckall money. Disney live action remakes make all the fucking money.
Do you really think a stop motion sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas would flop? That movie is beloved and people have been wanting more in that universe for a long time.
Get Del Toro to do it. You have to go ALL IN though.
Disney is just looking for an excuse to make more merchandise for it.

They're not going to stop doing it until the movies flop consistently. Disney can't hear all the wailing and teeth-gnashing online through their money phones. :p
I really enjoyed The Jungle Book but this is going too far.
It's like that time Disney released direct-to-DVD sequels to all their older cartoons and they were fucking awful.
Why take a risk and make something new and exciting when you can just keep remaking the same shit over and over again.

Well if Disney doesn't let Danny Elfman sing all the songs they need to burn in hell.
Actually I won't accept anything but deaged Danny Elfman playing Jack.

I mean the original is just Tim Burton's brilliant aesthetic and some good songs mixed with a pretty boring and predictable plot and character dynamics. It's not that interesting a film beyond how it exploded in pop culture relevance again.
It's not the worst idea to try and get more out of the concept or aesthetic if you have a good idea for it.

The Lego movies are CGI. I don't like the extra detail they put on the bricks. You'd have to run all of your bricks through a cement mixer full of sand to get them looking remotely like that.
I've mentioned it a couple times but I'm almost positive you're correct. I know for certain based on people who've worked for Disney that they have wanted to make a sequel, I believe the reasoning they haven't yet is because they can't unless Burton gives the ok.
Let's not kid ourselves that Disney wouldn't have run it into the ground by now if they could have, TV shows, sequels, you name it. They already made video game and comic book sequels, they just can't make another movie.
Edit: Whoops somehow quoted the wrong person, sorry!

Some Goth's will be happy with this news, but some Goths will call it a sell out no doubt. đź’€
Eh sure why not, Disney are about to remake everything anyway, the original doesn't disappear if this comes out, I mean I don't like the look of the new Aladdin, so instead of watching it, I can just put the Animated version on again to watch.
As already suggested get Doug Jones in whether for CGI capture or Actual live Action acting and then you get whomever to do his voicover & singing.

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see this because Jack and Halloween Town would look creepy af in live action (if they did it properly of course). And I wouldn't mind a sequel in general, because there are other holiday towns they can go to.
This'd be a good starting point, but live action Jack would need to be even taller and thinner
Actually, rather than full live action they should do some partial live action and partial CG. Basically try and tap into some uncanny valley with the designs

I wish we could somehow decide as a society to collectively stop seeing these live action remakes. They're almost all garbage and do little to nothing to improve their source material.
But as long as people keeping seeing 'em Disney will keep making 'em.
