One of my favorite movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

I have watched this movie every Halloween since it came out. Some great quotable lines ("And...frog's breath!")...amazing songs (what else would you expect from Danny Elfman?)and truly unique characters. While Toy Story and other animated movies may have generated more box office success, they shouldn't have. The set design, animation and storyline make this a top-notch production. I absolutely love this movie. It's great for the whole family. My wife and I watch it while carving pumpkins each Halloween. It's a tradition! There may be some scenes that are a little too scary for very young ones. But kids 8 and up will absolutely love it. The storyline has Jack Skellington, the hero of Halloween, deciding to spice things up this year by trying his bony hand at Christmas. So, with good intentions he has Santa Claus kidnapped and Jack sets off to give Christmas a unique twist this year. Only problem is, no one is ready for a Skeleton Claus in a thin red suit and fake beard. Not to mention the horrifying gifts left under the tree! Jack's nemesis, Oogie Boogie is a great character and provides one of the most memorable songs/scenes in the movie. You'll have to watch it to find out how Jack saves Christmas!
