These two claymation films, directed by
Henry Selick and produced by
Tim Burton, make for an engaging twin-pack of DVDs.
The Nightmare Before Christmas and
James and the Giant Peach are both presented in their original theatrical aspect ratios. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. The =Nightmare disc contains a commentary by Selick, deleted scenes, storyboards, and a making-of featurette. Best of all are the inclusion of Burton's early short films
Vincent and Frankenweenie. The =James disc comes with trailers, production stills, and a making-of featurette, as well as a video by Academy Award-winning songwriter
Randy Newman. This is a superb package for children as well as Burton fans. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
