“Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector’s Edition” on DVD August 26

Is it just me, or is there a new “collector’s edition” of The Nightmare Before Christmas released every year? I’ve done no research to back this up, but it seems like I get word of a new one about this time every year.

No matter. It’s a great story with drop-dead animation and awesome music. I expect nothing less from Tim Burton.

The official title is The Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector’s Edition, and it will be available on Blur-Ray Hi-Def and 2-Disc DVD August 26, 2008. Check out the official site here.

More after the jump…

To celebrate, Disney has created a cool new Dr. Finkelstein widget. Create your own Nightmare Avatar and watch the days count down to August 26.

As for the story, it’s been digitally restored and includes all-new bonus features, including Tim Burton’s original “Nightmare Before Christmas” poem performed by Christopher Lee (that alone is worth the price of the DVD), animated story boards, and a new film commentary by Burton, Director Henry Selick, and composer Danny Elfman.

Fans of “Nightmare” rival The Rocky Horror Picture Show in their cult-film passionry. Yeah, that’s a new word I just made up. Hey, I’m just trying to blend in with the Tim Burton crowd. Got a problem with that?
