A whimsical musical that puts the "spirit" in Christmas

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2008)

Halloween Town continues to produce the scariest of holidays to their leader Jack Skelington there is something missing, until he stumbles upon the cool world of Christmas where he realizes that this is the time to try out for a change. Will things work out for Jack or will it all lead to disaster? This film is very strange and hard to forget. The animation is very creepy much like Tim Burton himself in many things. It is one truly unique musical that should be seen by everyone at least once. The characters are well acted and this is probably one of the best of Tim Burton's films. Most of Tim Burton's work is of course creepy and such but most of it seems kind of sterile without emotions. Here that quality is not as pronounced and this makes the film far more interesting overall. If you see any of Tim Burton's works then this is the one.
