“I love the story. I’ve been familiar with it since I was a little kid - it’s just one of those great American stories. And I think the character is very interesting. It’s a challenge to play someone who fills the role of the leading man, but to not play him as a standard hero.”

- Johnny Depp

“What you can do in stop motion is that there is purity to the emotion. The black and white also added to that for me. If the studio had said to me, ‘Well, you can do the movie but only in color,’ I wouldn’t have done it because it was that important to me to impart that emotional stripping away of things so that you get that simplicity and the strength of what it’s about.”

Behind the Scenes of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

20 years ago,
This October,
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” was released.

Let’s just allow that to sink in shall we?

“I’ve never seen a movie like this one; it’s like no other. It’s like five movies in one. It’s a comedy, it’s a romance, it’s got special effects, it’s got action, it’s got some horror elements of a kind. I think it’s got a lot of great things going for it.”
