The Nightmare Before Christmas (2000, DVD)

Movie Description
Tim Burton's stop-motion animated feature finds Pumpkin King Jack Skellington thinking the grass is greener over in Santa Claus's holiday. He marshals all his goblins and ghouls to take over Christmas, but alas--poor Jack belongs to Halloween. An amazing visual and musical feast that should be seen at least twice to catch all the kinks and quirks in the nooks and crannies. Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.

Credits
Producer:Denise Di Novi, Kathleen Gavin, Tim Burton

    In this brilliant tale by Tim Burton, Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King, longs for something else other than Halloween year after year. While wondering through the woods he comes upon a door that leads to Christmas town. Entranced with his find and wondering what the meaning of Christmas is all about, Jack decides to become Santa Clause and mix Halloween and Christmas together. To Jacks surprise though nothing works out as he intended it.
    A great movie for children and adults alike. This movie will capture your heart. Lots of fun!

      Tim Burton Does it Again - Must See Nightmare Xmas!
    Review created: 10/04/05
    6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

    Tim Burton draws attention to any of his work - people tend to love him or hate him... but with the Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton has created a visually stunning masterpiece. The Nightmare before Christmas is a stop-motion animated movie following Pumpkin King Jack Skellington (Love the name!!) who chases what he thinks will be the finer life in Santa Claus's land. But Jack Skellington struggles to leave his world - Halloween!

    The beauty of The Nightmare Before Christmas is that its beautifuly created and assembled. In fact, it was nominated for an Academy Award. This is the predecessor to Tim Burton's 2005 release the Corpse Bride. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a must have DVD as, with each watch, you will find new and special scenes and moments.

      The Nightmare Before Christmas

    The movie is a nice story. Although, I must admit that my 9 year old was expecting a bit more a "bigger" plot. She also complained that there was an awful lot of singing. But, I think she would recommend this movie to her friends even though she mentioned that Corpse Bride was better.
