I don't usually mind song remakes since it's nothing like remaking a movie, that's whole big ordeal all together. Song remakes are not often anyway, and sometimes it's usually much older songs like from the 80's or something.

Like how Disturbed did Tears for Fears song "Shout" or the Ataris remaking "Boys of summer" from....I don't know

. I think the only real reason the songs were remade were simply to add to the whole publicity of the movie's release.

Movies don't get jammed back into theaters with 3D effects after years of DVD shelf life around their belts. My guess is remaking the 4 songs was a means to attract popuarlity and just a means of getting more money out of the film.

Considering that I just download music anyways and not buy CDs that often, it's not a problem I really worry about since I know I can get it for free without feeling ripped off. But remakes are either absolutely amazing or totally craptacular.

It's all in the matter of what you like as far as taste goes in the end.

See, you can always trust Manson to do a good job at covers. No matter who you are.

As Rob Zombie would no doubt say, Hell yes to that!

I looooooooooooooooooooove this movie! I really wanna see it in the theater. I didn't know it was in 3-D! I just figured they were showing it again for the holidays. Yay!

You will not be dissapointed.

I loved this movie.

I called it "Jack" when I was little... Heh.

I can remember being really little and saying, "Mama, I want to watch Jack! Jack! Jack!"

It's interesting, though- it seems to have become a... er, goth (for lack of a better word- I hate labeling, as anyone who has read the Emos thread knows) icon.

I'm just glad that I could get my friends to see a musical.

Ha.

As for the remakes discussion... Hmm... Well, it depends on the song. I mean, I think that No Doubt's cover of "It's My Life" rocks as much as Talk Talk's original. But those stupid Disney CDs of all covers? Cut me a break.

It really has, I'm just glad it has survived for 13 years.

I actually sat back and watched it today. Definitely brought back warm memories. It's been so long since I've seen it, I had absolutely forgotten how sweet and romantic the very last scene with Jack and Sally was. :3 That's my type of happy ending.

One of my favorite holiday movies ever. I remember being frightened of seeing it when I was a child (I was about six years old when it first came out and back then, well, I was pretty much afraid of anything), but I loved it when I finally got to see it. The story is sweet and the soundtrack is incredible ("Making Christmas", "Oogie Boogie's Song", and "Kidnap Sandy Claws" being my personal favorites, though really the entire soundtrack shines). I'm just glad that the movie caught on, because it really does deserve to be preserved.

I think "Boogie's song" is fantastic, we learn everything about who he is, what he likes to do, how he talks, everything about his character in that song. And what a song it was, the piano/gambling beat was just perfect for Oogie Boogie.

I also think he's a fine addition to the vast assortment of famous Disney villains. Oogie Boogie was original, creepy looking, and had a great appearance with the whole bag of bugs thing. I was so happy he came back for Kingdom hearts 2.

Halloweentown is one of the BEST levels in the Kingdom hearts game series, I totally loved it all over again when they came back in KH2.
