Tender lumplings everywhere - life's no fun without a good scare!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2000)

Has to be one of Tim Burton's best ever films (second only to Edward Scissorhands!) The stop-motion animation is fantastic, and the amount of detail, especially in Halloweentown and Christmastown, can almost convince you that you are watching live action.
The music is simply brilliant - Danny Elfman at his best. And who would have guessed that he had such a beautiful singing voice? The soundtrack CD is an absolute must-have (my personal favourites are "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" and "Sally's Song.")
Quite simply the most fun Christmas film I've ever seen!
