It's worth noting that "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is not the first Disney property to fall under Dynamite's creative spell. In 2022, they enchanted audiences with an ongoing "Gargoyles" series, brought to life by the brilliant minds of creator Greg Weisman and artist George Kambadais.

At the heart of it all stands the timeless masterpiece that started it all—a stop-motion film that stole hearts and continues to inspire generations. Directed by the visionary Henry Selick and with a compelling story by the unparalleled Tim Burton, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" first graced the silver screen in 1993.

The tale revolves around the enigmatic Jack Skellington, brought to life with the voice of Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman's hauntingly beautiful singing voice. As Jack stumbles upon the wonder of Christmas for the first time, a series of hilariously disastrous events unfold, making for an unforgettable and heartwarming adventure.
