Ask TV Squad: Who is broadcasting The Nightmare Before Christmas

TV Squad reader Steve Ely hasn't been able to see Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas for the last few years. And, while he knows it is being re-released in theaters this Halloween season (in a 3D format) he wonders if it is being broadcast anywhere on television.

Well, fear not, Steve. After some extensive research (about 10 seconds) we discovered that Nightmare will be appearing on Cartoon Network October 29th at 7:00 pm and again on October 30th at 5:00 pm. For those not familiar with the movie, which was released back in 1993 (holy crap!), it stars Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown. Jack discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept. However, once he does, he kidnaps Santa and makes himself king of Christmas Town so he can have the happiness of Christmas all of the time.

In 2005, Burton followed up Nightmare with another animated feature entitled Corpse Bride. This movie, which involves a shy groom and a young woman who rises from the grave thinking she is married to him, airs on ABC Family Monday, October 30th at 8:00 pm.
