Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my most wanted titles in 3D... me and my wife saw it in theaters every year since they began showing it so to be able to see it at home would be awesome. I was hoping it was going to be one of the initial 2010 releases but as long as they don't cancel it 2011 will work :)
 
I thought it looked great in theaters... especially the Oogie Boogie scenes. It's very similar to Coraline where it is a lot of depth and since the film wasn't meant to be a 3D gimmick it doesn't come out at you, although as mentioned the Oogie scenes were very awesome.
 
According to the blurayregioncodes website the regular USA BD release was locked, so perhaps the 3D version will as well...not sure, but Disney is definitely one of the stricter studios in this regard.
 
I don't know about any of these old Disney titles being released in 3D. I'm going to wait to see how they turn out.
