Nightmare before christmas, bootlegs?
I need to find Night Before Christmas for a christmas present, it seems that theres 2 releases of that movie, both of which are OOP.
So ebay would be the best way to go for me but I cant tell the originals from the bootlegs, any suggestions on filtering out the bootlegs?

It would be cool if Disney released this on Blu-ray!

Hopefully with the rerelease in theatres there will be a new release on DVD.
I have no idea when it went oop, it wasnt a movie I was very interested in buying until my wife told me she wanted it.

I think it went OOP last year before the 3D re-release. I was sure they were going to release an Ultimate Edition this year. Looks like they're trying to keep it as a Halloween theatrical event for now.
Maybe we'll get a 15th Anniversary Edition next year.

It went OOP a couple of years ago i think 03-05. Sometime around there. I remember because my aunt bought me a copy of that movie for Christmas and then the year after that it went OOP slowly....

This is supposed to get a re-release with an extra disc. Allegedly the bonus disc will be a cd with a bunch of popbands covering their favorite songs. Disney might be waiting until next year since that's the 15th anniversary (and they love that stuff).

I've also seen it last year in 3D and it was gorgeous! Too bad that the home release of the 3d version is currently impossible...
They did re-release the soundtrack last year (with the cool 3d cover), so why not the dvd? Especially since nearly every theater now has Digital Projection and more people can see the movie again/for the first time there's gonna be a demand for it...

So wait, are we saying that the original release is OOP or the latest one? I know the original went OOP just before the movie got re-released. If the new one is OOP, that is news to me.

It's been OOP for a while. I believe it is still available in other countries though and anamorphic no less. I bought the UK release and it was pretty cheap. Can't get enought NBC.

I think what people are saying is correct. Disney probably wants to re-release this in theaters around Halloween every year in 3-D. Without a DVD version, people (including me who DOES own the last edition!) will continue to flock to these annual showing. The 3-D really is just f-ing awesome.

On eBay, be suspicious of any non-USA sellers who are selling a Region 1 NTSC disc. Its probably not legit. You can look at most auctions and tell by the listing. Bootleg copies usually have nothing listed that states is an original, but are vague enough that if you don't ask you may assume its good.
Looks like it going for 40 dollars and up. I glanced at a few auction on eBay and most of the ones I saw appear legit...a couple were obvious "imports" which is usually the same as bootleg....
