Gives You Exactly What You Would Expect From Tim Burton,But With More Heart And A Beautiful Christmas Theme,

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2012)

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a terrific movie with a great story,some amazing characters and a nice Christmas theme that make it a very enjoyable movie to watch during the Christmas holidays.I would say you would have to be a little older however,at least older than seven,as this movie can be very dark and might frighten a younger audience,as there is a strange mix of Christmas and Halloween and some of the characters are very strange,but as you are older you can understand the mix of themes and enjoy the movie.I am not a huge fan of Tim Burton,I find his movies very dark and creepy,I don't like his remake of Christmas stories,like Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Alice In Wonnderland,but when he contributes to the script,he usually adds some heart that makes it enjoyable,the last two movies I mentioned are just dark versions of light hearted stories.The Nightmare Before Christmas,the story and the characters,was all made by Tim Burton,and that makes the heart involved in this movie,and I would say the greatest movie Tim Burton was part of is this.
Jack Skellington is tired of celebrating Halloween every year and when he stumbles upon a world that celebrates a holiday he has never heard of called Christmas,he decides to take over the holiday along with his gang from Halloween town.
