A beautiful building attached to the Gharadelli chocolate ship on Hollywood Boulevard (the two shops have a heavy Disney tie in (El Capitan is a Disney owned building I believe).

We saw Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas in 4D. Was a great experience. Started with an organist playing music live on stage. Then the organ lowered below the floor of the stage.

Main feature was 3D and on occasion there were physical effects such as lighting, some fog and even snow falling in the theatre whilst it was showing on screen.

Was also supposed to be the smell of pumpkins but we didn't notice that one (also I did notice the strong spearmint smell of the woman chewing gum next to me!)

$14 for adults, $11 for kids (with a premium package that includes popcorn and a drink)

We were in row H, seats 9 10 and 11 and I don't think you could have gotten better seats in the orchestra section. There's also a balcony section but the ticket guy said orchestra get a best 4D effect.

Next movie coming was Hocus Pocus with others coming.

For a 3D or 4D experience, it's a must as it's a one off experience for most kids!

We saw it at 10am but if you see the evening show, drop next door to Ghiradelli for a chocolate sundae or banana split
