I watch this every Halloween.

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2004)

What's not to love? The songs are fun (if not as catchy as the ditties in a typical Disney animated flick), the animation is top notch, and the story is as inventive as any ghost story I've ever seen or read. Jack Skellington is a great character (and his little dog too!), while Catharine O'Hara (who can do no wrong in my book) adds a sweet charm to the story as Sally. What a great film to watch with kids, HOWEVER, the really little ones might be too young for a scene which depicts Santa Claus in jeopardy. This is a blast, and a great video to have playing in the background if you're having a Halloween party. Once again, Tim Burton shows himself to be the master of the macabre. Grade: A
