Nearly Perfect

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2005)

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" gets better every time you see it. It's a little masterpiece of an animated film from the imagination of Tim Burton, and it's for people who want to gag whenever they see previews for the T.V. show "Seventh Heaven." This ain't your standard Disney fare, but is rather a morbid and hilarious movie that I watch every Halloween season. The songs by Danny Elfman seem so-so upon a first listen, but they get better on multiple viewings too. If you like Edward Gory, you will like this movie (though he's not credited as doing so, his artwork *had* to inspire the people who designed this movie).
Grade: A+
