How do you make a Tim Burton pack and not include The Nightmare Before Christmas?

I think this pack is somewhat made to hit a price point. They know they can charge more for Nightmare. Who knows for sure. At least it doesn't have Dark Shadows.

Agreed. I would easily substitute PeeWee for Nightmare...and I would bought this deal.

50% off list price by the way.

There's also no Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, etc. I could do without that atrocious version of Willy Wonka and substitute any of the above for it

I think Nightmare being produced in association with Disney probably is the reason you wont see it in any special bundle such as this. Disney is pretty proprietary about their products, in case you couldn't tell. I ordered one. I already have Nightmare, and sleepy hollow. I was looking for a good deal on the Batmans, and I enjoy most of the other movies as well. I'll end up with a second copy of corpse bride, but I'm sure I'll find a good home for it.

It also might be that Nightmare isn't technically directed by Burton.

This set starts out good (Pee Wee, Beetlejuice) and just gets worse and worse.

Ed Wood should also be on here. That's kinda where his career took a turn for the worse.

Tim Burton didn't direct A Nightmare Before Christmas

Edit:

syuzhet, looks like you beat me to it!

He did write and was a producer for it though. Oh well.

Dammit I bought this at Best Buy less than a month ago. Knew I should have waited.

FYI, for those complaining about the selection included, and lack of certain titles, this review explains the reasoning:

"This set is being released by Warner Brothers. All of the films in this collection were productions made with Warner Brothers Studios. The Tim Burton films that are missing from this set were made at other studios.

For example...

Edward Scissorhands? 20th Century Fox
The Nightmare Before Christmas? Disney (Orginally a Touchstone production)
Sleepy Hollow? Paramount
Big Fish? Dreamworks
Ed Wood? Touchstone (aka Disney)
Sweeney Todd? Dreamworks
Alice in Wonderland? Disney"


HTH

That makes sense. When I saw the title of this post, I expected at least these titles:

Nightmare before christmas (pretty much everyone who hears burton thinks this)
Beetlejuice
Edward Scissorhands
Corpse Bride
Alice In Wonderland
Sleepy Hollow

I would buy a pack of the above bluray movies for $50.

I caved and bought it since I didn't own any of these on blu-ray anyway. Good find OP.

Well, if we're getting technical here, he actually wrote the original poem of which the screenplay was adapted by Caroline Thompson.
