One of the Greatest Stop-Motion Animated Movies Ever Made!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2014)

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" is one of those movies that is part of my childhood, and never I find this movie boring or get sick and tired of it. The movie is about a talking skeleton name Jack Skellington who is getting tired of Halloween, and is wanting to do something totally different. So, he discovers about Christmas and decides to try it out. Jack gets the people of Halloween Town to make Christmas, and does for what he has to do on his own. I really love this movie, and it is a heck a lot of fun to watch. I always remember this movie from beginning to end. Tim Burton has created these extraordinary characters that are fun and interesting to look at; so, here he really achieves it. I know he didn't direct this movie, which, of course, the movie is directed by Henry Selick who would go on directing "Coraline" and "James and the Giant Peach." He does a fine job directing this movie as well as keeping faithful to what Burton envision it. However, when you watch this movie, it really feels like a Tim Burton movie if Burton may have ghostly directed it or something like that. Chris Sarandon does a great job for voicing Jack Skellington as well as Catherine O'Hara for voicing Sally. Everyone in this movie for voicing these characters all did great on their own. The designs of the sets and characters are so darn remarkable, and the the stop-motion animation is incredibly well done. The songs and music by Danny Elfman are really far beyond from being good; they are so memorable like "This is Halloween;" "Making Christmas;" "What's this?;" etc. Many of you would like to know if this movie is either a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie; it just depends on what you make of. To me, personally, I think its both and I always get in the mood when it comes to both Halloween and Christmas at the same time. If you haven't seen this movie, check it out! "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is one of the greatest stop-motion animated movies ever made, and it is one of Burton's greatest achievements! I give it a perfect 10 out of 10.
