Annual Yuletide viewing in my household

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2001)

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a highly imaginative, endlessly watch able and highly entertaining slice of gothic Christmas entertainment. It's full of great and catchy, memorable songs (`This is Halloween', `Christmas Town') wonderful set pieces and interesting characters. The plight of poor Jack Skelington as he longs for something new is something that everyone can identify with. Producer/Writer Tim Burton, Director/Animator Henry Sellick and Composer/Singer Danny Elfman have really out done themselves and created a magical story of the lonely outsider, only trying to fit in, but messing everything up. This modern classic is annual yuletide viewing in my household, and as animation goes, this is one of the best.
10/10
