Tim Burton, the creator of the iconic "The Nightmare Before Christmas," has firmly stated he does not want any sequels or reboots of the beloved film. In an interview with Empire Magazine, Burton expressed the movie's importance to him and his disinterest in revisiting the property with new films. Despite being open to other adaptations, such as the 2004 video game "Oogie's Revenge" where he was a creative consultant, and the expansion of Sally's story in the 2022 novel "Long Live the Pumpkin Queen," he remains opposed to a film sequel.

The movie, hailed as a Christmas classic, follows the story of Jack Skellington from Halloween Town discovering Christmas Town and trying to spread Christmas joy with unintended consequences. It originated from a poem Burton wrote in 1982 while working at Walt Disney Productions. Fans of stop-motion animation and Burton's distinctive style have made "The Nightmare Before Christmas" an enduring hit, with IGN even rating the film an 8/10, commending its characterizations and animation. While Burton has rejected the notion of a sequel or reboot, the film continues to captivate audiences and holds a special place in the holiday horror genre.
