Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning. But as Christmas approaches, Jack's rag-doll girlfriend, Sally, tries to foil his misguided plans.

This will always be one of my #1 favorites! The songs and music are amazing, but I did not expect anything less of Danny Elfman. Summing up; I love Disney, I love stop-motion, I love 'monsters' with a kind heart, I love Tim Burton.. Can't get enough, this will live on forever.

The Nightmare Before Christmas was really good. I mean, the music and songs were fun and that's 90% of the movie, so it obviously must be pretty good at the very least, right? The stopmotion too was fantastic, and the premise was interesting enough for a Christmas movie. I probably would have loved it as a kid.

OK...........this film was underwhelming to me and I don't know if it is because I am a little too old for it as I don't feel the usual Disney formula of trying to appeal to kids and adults, do not get me wrong as this is still a good film but in usual Tim Burton fashion, it is style over substance. Still think it is enjoyable enough but it isn't a Christmas classic like a lot of people like to think it is, but this is just in my opinion. Ain't gonna lie though, has some pretty catchy songs and it is worth a watch just for the animation alone.

Tim Burton is one of only a few creative minds who's able to handle creepy, adult material in a way that's not just appropriate, but also downright appealing, to younger audiences. Beetlejuice, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Edward Scissorhands are all great examples of this trait at play, More

This is a cracking animation fantasy centring around "Jack Skellington" - the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. When he feels all just a bit deflated after one celebration, he happens upon Christmas Town and encounters Santa Claus preparing to bring jolity and happiness. "Jack" sends a few of his rath More

I suppose I missed watching it at the proper time so I will explain it as not surviving well after all these years.

The idea is daring, the stop motion is OKish and Danny Elfman's OST is quite good but even being only 70 min they were still too many for me. Specially, the songs were to close one More
