Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2006)

I have always liked the work of Tim Burton. I think is one of the most imaginative directors. He had great movies (except "Planet of the apes" and "Sleppy Hollow").
"The nightmare before Christmas" is the story of Jack, a skeleton who lives in Halloween town. But he is so tired of screams, ghosts and monsters. Suddenly, he discovers a new world for him. The Christmas town. Now he want live the Christmas too ... but the problems begin here. With the incredible music of Danny Elfman, the story of Tim Burton is one of the most imaginative tales of all times.
With the wonderful ones Catherine O'Hara and Chris Sarandon, this lovely movie had certain characteristics imposed by various influences. For example, Vincent Price. The short "Vincent" is an ode to his Tim Burton's inspiration. "Vincent" uses the same techniques of "The nightmare before Christmas". I believe in that time nobody saw it come.
The characters like Jack, Sally, the mad scientist, the faces of the mayor, the evil children's, the witches, Santa and the villain Oogie Boogie are unforgettable. The songs are sticky and beautiful too.
So, before you will request candies, before you open your presents watch this movie first. This is a good movie. A movie for all.
