The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Cast: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Nightmare Before Christmas page.

Tim Burton at his best! This Halloween/Christmas story is wonderful! Jack Skellington wants to try to be more like Santa Claus and hand out gifts instead of scaring kids. He's been the Pumpkin King for so long and he wants more. Of course, he doesn't quite understand how Santa does it, but that makes for a great story! This is the first fully stop motion animated film and it's amazing.

The Nightmare Before Christmas shows a lot more heart and feeling than most animated movies, since there is real sadness. The characters in this movie really seem to go through a lot. Sally's plight to try to escape the doctor and Jack's search for something more in his life are really well depicted. It's a great Halloween/Christmas tale for the whole family.

Grade: B+
