The 1993 Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) animated family classic The Nightmare Before Christmas debuted as a Disney Blu-ray 3D on Aug. 30, 2011.

The Blu-ray 3D presentation of the film arrived as a three-disc combo pack (Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD/digital copy) and/or a 3D movie download for the list prices of $49.99 and $25, respectively.

Directed by Henry Selick (Coraline) and featuring the voices of Chris Sarandon (The Princess Bride), Danny Elfman (Corpse Bride) and Catherine O’Hara (Killers), the perennial movie favorite (Disney has brought the film back to theaters every Halloween since it was converted to 3D back in 2006) will be released to Blu-ray 3D one month before Disney’s highly anticipated The Lion King: Diamond Edition Blu-ray 3D debuts on Oct. 4.
