Wouldn't this make a spectacular musical? I'm currently listening to the cast recording....whoops, I mean the soundtrack. I can see this transferring easily to the stage.

I believe that there actually was a stage version of it in the works, but don't quote me on that
I'd LOVE to see this be a full length musical
It's one of my favorite Disney movies

It's not a Disney movie.

And I think it would make a fantastic broadway show, but maybe a little too season-specific and might have a hard time getting people to go see it in the dead of summer.

Isn't it touchstone?

In CA, the haunted mansion at Disneyland is decked out in Nb4Xmas animatronics
I'm positive it's a Disney movie

That's really really weird - I have the DVD and it doesn't say DISNEY anywhere on it. It says touchstone pictures, which has nothing to do with Disney.

Maybe Touchstone was the distributor?

Possibly - then disney would have been what, the producer?

Disney owns Touchstone, I believe.

YES. I was watching the movie last week, and was actually thinking, "SH*T, this would be an awesome stage show!"

And, yeah, it is a Disney film. I remember it being previews before other Disney releases whenever it came out (also a level on their Kingdom Hearts PS2 game).

Disney's movie studios include Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Buena Vista, Hollywood Pictures, Dimension Films, and Miramax.

I've wanted The Nightmare Before Christmas to be put on stage for sooooo long. I'd see it any time of the year if it happens!

Hot Topic is only in business because I bought everything they have of Nightmare Before Christmas. Bedspread, pillow cover, sheets...everything. It's great!

I also agree that this would make a spectacular stage show. I believe Emerson College adapted this a couple of years ago utilizing black lights. It sounded like a pretty cool show

I watched the movie recently, and thought the exact same thing. The score would have to expanded, obviously, but itd be great.

I think this may very well be a first. Everyone so far has agreed on something like this! lol

Yes, it's Disney and Yes, it would make a fantastic musical!

It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

Now I feel compelled to go out and buy the movie...or at least the score.

Why must Disney insist adapting on the Little Mermaid, when they have this?

I mentioned this idea a while ago, and then (and now) I said it would be GREAT!

I dont know if he can act, but that can be fixed in one of two ways:

1) Robotic Oogey
2) Costume - you wouldnt see him anyway, so make it someone else and a voiceover
