Too good to be animated!

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2005)

One of the best animated movies of all time, by the amazing Tim Burton. It's not actually directed by him, but it's still really Burtonesque and, anyway, he wrote the story. It's basically about a skeleton called Jack, who lives in Hallowe'en Town. Eventually, he gets bored of the same old everything, everyday, and goes wandering in the woods. There, he finds Christmas Town. He loves it so much he decides to bring it to Hallowe'en Town and have a different holiday. The rest involves skeleton reindeer, an evil wreath, a kidnapped Santa, Igor, and, of course, a fat kid, running down the landing. The movie's a musical, a comedy, a stop motion animation, and a Christmas present or Hallowe'en treat for everyone, except little kids who might get frightened by the brilliant, Gothic characters and sets. There's even an old woman getting attacked by a wreath! Heh.
