How can a nightmare be such fun?

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2005)

Tim Burton again. And at his best. Using stop motion for a musical/animation movie is the first of his witty and inspiring moves in this piece of art. It makes the movie look creepy and in some way a little "disabled" which certainly suits the overall thematic. The story is fantastic. Halloween is not evil - it's just...weird. And Christmas isn't any better - it just...different. The music is not annoying as it is in some animation movies (and I'm not talking about Disney, I'm talking about other ones) and it's...well...Danny Elfman. You'll realize: I can't seem to find the right words to say how beautiful I find this movie. It's a ten and one of the best films ever. A masterpiece of entertainment, art, and film-making. Love it.
