Happy Halloween. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@Harri927]

One of my favorite movies of all time and it never gets old. The music and songs are iconic. It's a perfect movie for both Halloween and Christmas.

7:40-14:28-17:05 are my favorite tv spots with this 90's music.

The movie that began the debate: Is it a Christmas movie or Halloween movie? Some will say it's both, but why not watch it whenever you want? I'll watch it on Valentine's Day because I can! Hahahaha!! 😂😂

[@Jurassic1993Park]

To quote an underrated Dreamworks animated flick: "Both? Both. Both is good."

Christmas. The plot revolves around Christmas. If Santa Clause was bringing Halloween to the North Pole that would be a Halloween special to me

[@eleanorhogan8643]

I would like to see a sequel where he goes to the other worlds, does this sound like a good idea or a bad idea?

[@RustyDoggosDragons]

It’s both

[@BowserMovies1989]

Looks like you got them all except the one that was in the 1993 VHS release of Disney's Pinocchio (1940). That one was my favorite.

[@Jurassic1993Park]

There were a LOT of these, so yeah, I don't doubt some previews might have slipped by. KZbin's search system nowadays is crap, so that probably didn't help much either.

[@BooBanana]

The commercials at 7:42-8:45 were the ones I always remember playing on tv and had me thinking it was the coolest looking movie ever. To this day I don’t think I’ve seen a trailer that hit me quite the same way.

[@Jabberstax]

I miss the 90s

[@nilesclifford9704]

Me too, and I also miss the 2000s.

[@coca-colatrackhousewarrior9925]

Disney after their first trailer pushed it to Touchstone Pictures

[@Princess_-gp3ep]

That’s because they thought was too scary for kids.

[@superjackster0165]

Disney was originally going to release the film under their name back in 1993. But Michael Eisner (the CEO at the time) considered the film to be “too dark and scary for children”. So they put it under their Touchstone banner. In 2006, Disney re-released the film in 3-D under their name. That included plastering the Disney logo at the beginning and changing the credits to say “Walt Disney Pictures Presents”. So now Disney owns the rights to the movie and it’s considered to be an official Disney movie

[@andrewscungio3200]

Well, except for the end credits that have the Touchstone Copyright on non-3D and current prints of the film, but for the 3D end credits, it has the disney Copyright.

*"The creative genius behind Batman, Beetlejuice, and Edward Scissorhands."* It's weird hearing a Disney ad mentioning movies from other studios. Especially ones that aren't family films such as those ones.

[@tammyjej]

Why didn’t you add the trailers for the 3-D re-releases?

[@Jurassic1993Park]

Like with the Exorcist promos, I usually just keep it to the promotional material that was mostly released before the movie's premiere, VHS commercials not withstanding here. On a sidenote, it's interesting to compare the difference between the trailer editing in comparison to subsequent re-releases.

i love this its perfect

[@popoff21]

30 years of this great film I really enjoyed seeing it at the theater I was 8 at the time, does anyone know the name of the song at 7:40

Not my favorite of Disney’s catalogue, but when I watched Full House on TGIF back in 1993, that was my first time seeing an theatrical TV spot

[@sllawson6]

During the Full House episode “Yours Mine and Ours” re run in 1993 I saw a TV spot for this movie 😟

Truth be told, it doesn't ring a bell. 😅

Why did Santa Jack Skellington hire Zero to light his way up into the real planet Earth world from 14:00 to 14:06?

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Because of the fog, Zero's nose lights up, a bit of a parody of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
