What if Walt Disney was the producer of Looney Tunes/Walt Disney Animated Classics/The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 American animated musical dark fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. It is directed by Tim Burton and Henry Selick and produced by Walt Disney, Tim Burton and Denise Di Novi, with Steven Spielberg as an executive producer. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the ruler of "Halloween Town" who stumbles through a portal to "Christmas Town" and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and score, and provided the singing voice of Jack. The principal voice cast also includes Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, and Glenn Shadix.

The Nightmare Before Christmas originated in a poem co-director/co-producer Tim Burton wrote in 1982, while he was working as an animator at Disney. With the success of Vincent in the same year, Walt Disney began to consider developing The Nightmare Before Christmas as either a short film or 30-minute television special.

The film was met with both critical and financial success, grossing over $76 million during its initial run. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, a first for an animated film. The film has since been reissued, and was re-released annually in Disney Digital 3-D from 2006 until 2009.
