What's left behind the scenes

  • Tim Burton was originally slated to direct the animated film. However, due to his work on 'Batman Returns,' Henry Selick was appointed to the position.
  • Jack first appeared in Tim Burton's 'Beetlejuice' (1988). He spins on a carousel set up on Beetlejuice's extravagant hat.
  • Two toys – a mean duck on wheels and a feral cat – 'arrived' from Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns' (1992).
  • Selick filmed 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' based on a poem by Tim Burton.
  • In the German version of the cartoon, the part of Sally is re-sung by the famous punk diva Nina Hagen.
  • In the original voicing (and also when translated into other languages), the character of Crypt speaks and sings with a female voice. And only in the Russian version was his gender changed: Andrei Makarevich provided his voice.
  • In one of the cut scenes, it can be learned that Dr. Finkelstein in a Boogeyman costume was originally planned as the main villain, but in the final version they decided to make the Boogeyman a separate character.
  • Russian nesting dolls can be seen in one episode.
  • The trees-doors depicted: Saint Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Independence Day, Christmas, and, properly speaking, Halloween.
  • Tim Burton was originally intended to direct the animated film. However, due to his commitment to “Batman Returns,” Henry Selick was appointed to the position.
