I think the reason why its had a bit more of a boom recently is because the 30th anniversary was last year.

*sweats* Quiet you, the 90s were only 10 years ago!

OP
I think that’s the reason Lego/Disney decided to make the set. It’s from the Ideas series, models created and submitted by fans. If they get 10k votes, they’re considered for becoming an official set. The designer for this set had gotten 10k votes before and they decided not to make it. He changed it up a little, resubmitted, and got the 10k votes in less than an hour, which is only a bit faster than the first time around. The designer hasn’t said anything specific but it sounded like Disney didn’t think it was the right time the first time but did the second, that the rejection was actually on their side and not Lego’s.

TBH my experience has not been that it has had a boom recently. My experience is that it's always been popular and beloved for reasons that are inexplicable to me.

That’s been my experience too.

Yeah, it's a meh movie. It's not terrible, it's not fantastic. It's fine. I don't get the love for it, then or now.

Fond childhood memories, I suspect. (Not my excuse; I was 20 and an enthusastic dork.)

In the end, it is flawed, like all movies Tim Burton's directed or been involved in; the trick is whether you think the merits outweigh the flaws or not.

I have a family member who is one of those people that made Nightmare Before Christmas their entire personality, so I actually first saw it this year. It was fine!

I had it on vhs as a kid and rewatched it to the point that I can recite the songs and the general dialogue - plus Jack Skellington was kind of iconic for a lot of emo kids in the 2000s (not just for merch, but the famous line in the Blink 182 song 'we can live like Jack and Sally if we want// where you can always find me - we'll have Halloween on Christmas').

But I understand not everyone has to like this movie, which is fine \o/ hope you enjoy what you enjoy OP!

I'm a big fan of NBC but to a degree I understand where OP is coming from. Somewhere in the 2010s I felt like the merch market was overflooded with NBC merch. I used to buy random trinkets or NBC themed things as part of fandom stuff I like to get, but now I just look at the stuff.

I actually like the film a lot, and I'm tired of seeing NBC everywhere.
