Both Disney franchises are celebrating their 30th anniversaries this year.
The Big Picture Disney doesn’t have many horror franchises to light up the Halloween season with. However, what they lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality with The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus franchises. Both spooky pop culture phenomenons are celebrating their 30th anniversaries in 2023. Because of that, Disney’s pulling out all the stops with new merchandise to honor the Sanderson Sisters and Jack Skellington’s legacy.
The Hocus Pocus set features all three Sanderson Sisters Winifred, Sarah, and Mary while Nightmare Before Christmas includes Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie, and Zero the ghost dog. Like most Little People sets, the figures come with a film specific background. The Sanderson Sisters are in their witchy cottage brewing up a deadly potion while Sally and Jack can be seen on the famous moonlit twisted hill from Nightmare. The Hocus Pocus set is going for $19.98 while the Nightmare set is $24.
Disney’s Family Friendly Halloween While Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Before Christmas are geared more towards family audiences, that doesn’t diminish their importance in the genre. Both remain amazing gateway horror films for younger viewers and serve as great nostalgic relief for an older generation that grew up on them.
Whether it’s the brilliant stop-motion animation and musical score of Nightmare or the classic performances and absurdly charming writing of Hocus Pocus, the Sanderson Sisters and Jack’s friends in Halloween Town have become horror legends. Plus, each franchise has kept pop culture relevance thanks to their various Blu-ray releases, endless sea merchandise, and, in Hocus Pocus’ case, a long awaited sequel.
Where Can You Stream ‘Hocus Pocus’ & ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’? The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus are currently streaming on Disney+. However, both films are coming to theaters this October with new special 30th anniversary editions. Until then, you can grab your Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Little People on Amazon now.
