Reasonably entertaining.
Halloween has just come and gone and for Jack Skellington, the King of Halloweentown, it was the usual success. However, for Jack it is just more of the same, and is becoming boring. Then he stumbles across Christmastown...
Reasonably good fun. I don't care about Halloween so much of the ghoulishness in the background was wasted on me. However, the whole ghouls-take-over-Christmas theme was quite original and lead to some quite funny moments. The music generally keeps the movie rollicking along and it is quite short, thus does not overstay its welcome.
On the negative side, the plot does seem rather random and silly at times. Some scenes just go nowhere.
Overall, more hit than miss, but it was close.
