However, his success was undeniable since he managed 24 million.

However, although the artistic part of the ideal, the interpretation of Jack's role left much to be desired. Thus, Tim Burton decided to fix the problem by trusting another man, Chris Sarandon. A fact that Elfman would not forgive him, refusing to participate in the following installment of "Ed Wood".
4- Patrick Stewart was also part of the filming
The initial idea of "Nightmare before Christmas" was that he was narrated with the voice of off of Patrick Stewart. However, although the British artist was included at first, everything remained at all and the film decided to eliminate this possibility.

The film, being a Stop Motion, I had as the main character the anguish Jack Skellington, who would appear in most of the scenes. This fact caused the need to create different designs of Jack's face to make a natural movement of the character. The truth is that the figure of 400 different expressions, a need rather than a whim.
