Skellington Productions was a company that was a joint venture between Walt Disney Animation Studios and directors Tim Burton & Henry Selick. The company specialized in stop motion animation and made use of the art in its two films.
Tim Burton and Henry Selick formed the company in 1986 as Burton/Selick Projects, where Tim Burton could direct episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, while Henry Selick could focus on doing animation. After producing award-winning animation for MTV, Ritz, Pillsbury, and more, Tim Burton left to work on Beetlejuice (1988), so Selick renamed the studio to Selick Projects.
In September 1992, Tim Burton returned Selick's studio, renamed it Skellington Productions, and sold it to Disney. The first film produced by Skellington Productions (which gave the company its namesake), The Nightmare Before Christmas, was released theatrically in 1993 under Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner to an extremely positive response and box office, becoming a sleeper hit. Since 2006, The Nightmare Before Christmas has been re-released by Walt Disney Pictures and in Disney Digital 3-D format.
The second and final film, James and the Giant Peach, released to theaters in 1996 while Pathe distributed the film outside the US. It also met with positive reviews but failed to make a suitable profit and lead to the studio shutting down.
