I remember it very well, more than 20 years ago, I saw ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and I thought it was really awesome.

"FORMAT: 35mm PRINT QUALITY: ★★★½ NOTES: A cut or two during a couple of the musical numbers, a rather irritating cut during the changeover as James and the peach fall into New York, a severe cut during the credits and the reel ends right before "Spike the Aunts", but a decent print nonetheless. DATE: September 23rd 2018 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank"
