In an interview with CNN, Tim Burton reveals why there likely will not be a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas– or at least one that he is involved in. As Burton says, “What would it be … ‘Thanksgiving World’? Or they go kidnap Uncle Sam on the Fourth of July? That wouldn’t go over too good these days.” Tim Burton also speaks about The Corpse Bride, a stop-motion animated movie that he is producing, based on the Eastern European folk tale about a man who unknowingly marries a dead body. “Rather than make it this dark, unspoken thing — which is kind of how I grew up — I always liked the idea that it was more a celebration. It feels more positive, somehow, and more spiritual and right to me,” says Burton.
