Episode 709 – Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Visual Companion

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s show, I’m very excited to bring back author Dave Bossert to talk about his new upcoming book “Tim Burton’s The Nighmare Before Christmas Visual Companion”. Thirty years ago, Dave had the distinction of earning a credit on this fan-favorite holiday classic as an effects animator. Years later, he decided to interview Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, Henry Selick, and many other talented individuals who all worked together to take “The Nightmare Before Christmas” from the Christmas poem written by Tim Burton to the classic film it is today. After recording hours of interviews, Dave set out to compile their stories into a single book that would come to be described as the definitive telling of the behind the scenes making of “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas”.
