Had to dig a bit to see what it was you were asking about - when I clicked on your link I saw a google page with a thumbnail of Stitch and a "pardon our pixie dust" page.
Anyway, thanks to your thread title, I found what you're referring to. My guess is that Disney is putting the original film through that new process that produces a 3D version of the film from the regular footage. Don't know for sure, but I think we would have heard about a CG retelling of "Nightmare" before now (which I'm assuming is your concern).
In the 10+ years since the movie was released, Jack has become quite the popular character, especially among the "goth" set. Disney is undoubtedly moving to cash in on his popularity.
Here's a slightly more direct route to the site in question (which has lots of great model sheets and such on it, btw.)

"Nightmare" is in the early stages of being digitally scanned and converted into 3-D by the computer-graphics group at Industrial Light + Magic[/B]. The film represents a repeat gig for ILM's Colum Slevin, who in the summer oversaw the digital remastering of "Chicken Little's" 1,400 computer-animated shots.
Execs were reluctant to discuss the design of the 3-D passive glasses that will be handed out to audiences at "Nightmare" screenings but suggested they will be appropriately ghoulish and collectible.

What a terrible link and confusing thread.
They mean 3D as in 3D glasses.
This is probably the original article:
