Will The Nightmare Before Christmas Get a Sequel?  

Recently, NBX director Henry Selick spoke with Collider about the possibility of a sequel. Selick confirmed that a “sequel has come up several times.” He explained, “Initially, they always said, ‘But it will have to be CG.’ And that was a non-starter for me. It certainly was for [producer] Tim Burton.” Selick added making The Nightmare Before Christmas-themed shorts hasn’t been discussed, but he could see Burton liking the idea.

“The idea of a short has never come up in the past… I think that Tim might be open to a short,” the director detailed. “It would have to be so refreshing…such a new take to justify making a sequel, but a short makes good sense.” Selick began to brainstorm, “A short that’s about Zero… his viewpoint of the world or a day in his life … I think that’s a fantastic idea. And doable. I predict Tim would back [it] then.”
