The film that changed animation for ever

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2008)

Childish in the surface, but very mature on the bottom. Stop-motion animation finally became a reality and a success on year 1993 with Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas". This movie was destined to reach the top, it had a high-grossing feature manufacture and a critically-acclaimed film nature. Burton's dark and unique view of reality was fundamental and, maybe, the element that made this movie work. Nevertheless, few people give credit to the real element that catalyzed the whole project: Danny Elfman's beautiful soundtrack. Songs were catchy, were deep and were a total hit, not only on movie music's world, but on international level.It was Elfman himself, that gave the unforgettable voice to Jack Skellington. Even though, much of this film's economical success was a consequence of Disney's publicity. "The Nightmare..." has become an unconditional classic, being recommended from generation to generation since the 90's.
