The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick finds it “a little unfair” that Tim Burton gets all the credit.
If I were to ask you who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, then you would probably say Tim Burton. I mean, the movie is also known as Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, yet Burton only wrote the story, co-produced the film, and came up with the character designs.
Burton was not the person behind the camera, and Henry Selick is getting tired of this misconception.
“That was a little unfair because it wasn’t called ‘Tim Burton’s Nightmare’ until three weeks before the film came out. And I would have been fine with that, if that’s what I signed up for,” Selick recently told AV Club.
