Jack Skellington the pumpkin king of Halloween Town is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats ghouls and goblins of Halloween town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas they cant get it quite right.
Review
Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the nice animated movies not from Disney. It is about Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King who lives in Halloweentown. One day he goes through a door in a tree and arrives in Christmastown and sees how happy and beautiful it is over there. When he is back in Halloweentown he shows his friends what Christmas is like and he suggests to do Christmas this year instead of Halloween. Things do not go as planned.
Everything is beautifully animated and although the story is not that great it is entertaining the whole way through. I liked all the songs in the movie and there are some good laughs as well. Definitely worth watching.
