Genius

Tim Burton would have to be one of the most best directors out their. His works are very good. Nightmare Before Christmas would have to be one of his best movies he ever made.

Jack(King of The Pumpkin Patch) trys to put Halloween and Christmas together which is a big mistake but he doesnt know it. Sally has a crush on him and trys to get him to notice her but hes to busy to notice with all his plans before Halloween comes up. Santa claus mets the boogymen and its just a masterpiece. If you like Tim Burton movies this is a must see movie. Its pure genius.

A must have

This is an all time great movie. I Love love love this movie and I think everyone should atleast see it once. Tim Burton is a genius. He makes things have emotions that you would never think of giving emotions to.

Amazing movie plus awesome bonuses from the DVD

Words fail me when expressing how much I love this film. It first came out when I was in middle school and I have watched the film countless times since then; each viewing as entrancing as the last. I love this movie not only for it's visuals but also for its incredible music. I am a huge fan of Danny Elfman. Had he just put out an album with music like this without being attached to the movie I would have been happy, however, this incredible music is accompanied by spectacular visuals, ultimately creating an amazing experience.

It is obvious to me that Tim Burton is a fan of Edward Gorey; the influence is apparent in his artwork. All of the art in the movie is rather dark, and dreary. The whole movie is stop-motion animation yet the movie takes on an ambiance of being sketched with a pencil. The story is very creative and quit alluring. All the characters in the film are relatable in one way or another. Jack is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. Though he is the King of fright, he longs for more in life, but he doesn't know what will fill that void. Then there is Sally. She longs to be free from her creator and wants to experience life on her own terms. Ultimately Jack discovers that the void he has been feeling is not from lack of fame but from lack of love, which he finds with Sally.

As far as the DVD itself, you get wonderful bonuses with it. The production, commentaries, and creating of the movie is very interesting. It's amazing the amount of work, patience, and talent that went into this movie. Then there is the short film Vincent which Tim Burton made years before his breakthrough in the film industry. Though it is only a few minutes long, it's so cute, creative and well done. I just love everything about this DVD; the movie itself plus all the extras.
