	The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
		The combination of Christmas and Halloween is nearly ideal, though, so it's unlikely other variations will be attempted; really, the most interesting ones mix Halloween and something else, so they'd just seem like remakes of this film.
		TNBC has successfully made the transition to DVD and actually stands as one of the best examples of some aspects of the format.
		It's a Christmas film that stands up nicely to repeated viewings and also is one that you can watch any time of year and not feel stupid doing so; the same cannot be said of most holiday programs.

	Movies - Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas
		Burton returned to animation with his next feature as the producer, creator, and guiding sensibility behind Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), a wildly imaginative excursion into the macabre.
		Nightmare Before Christmas also had the distinction of being the first full length stop-motion animated film produced by Disney.
		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 can't get it quiet right.

	The Nightmare Before Christmas
		When I saw the first pictures from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” a few years ago, I knew this would be one of the greatest Tim Burton movies ever.
		The world of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is odd, yet beautiful; haunting, yet mesmerizing, filled with visual surprises and eye candy.
		Unfortunately, the well-meaning Jack and his buddies don’t quite get the meaning of Christmas; when Jack is riding through the skies in a coffin-shaped sleigh pulled by skeletal reindeer, he delivers presents to the children of this world that are wildly inappropriate.

	Filmtracks: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Danny Elfman)
		The Nightmare Before Christmas: (Danny Elfman) Once in every full moon, film music fans receive a score which is just so unconventional that it's hard to place in context with the average run of the mill soundtrack.
		Even the release date of the album was out of whack; for a film released two weeks before Halloween, the album hit the shelves ten days after the pumpkins had been packed away.
		So ultimately, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a sort of cult phenomenon for a people of a select age group.

	Reviews by Ken Priebe: The Nightmare Before Christmas
		Nightmare is one of my favorite films, and one of the films that made me want to be an animator.
		This is one way to look at a film like The Nightmare Before Christmas, as a commentary on how our culture robs symbols of their meaning and mixes them together until they serve a different purpose all together.
		If only Jack could have discovered the meaning behind the Christmas wreath, or found a nativity set to ponder over… Anyway, his misguided conclusion behind all of his searching is that he is being called to “improve” Christmas by taking it over, and getting the whole town involved.

	The Nightmare Before Christmas
		On the face of it, an exquisitely different Christmas story, but with a lot of depth if you wish to delve.
		It is also a supreme homage to the art of stop-motion animation, which has to some extent fallen out of use due to advances in computer animation.
		The Nightmare Before Christmas is, in my view, one of the best animated films around and, despite the high price for such a shortish film and no extras, is a DVD that I would recommend to all.

	The Nightmare Before Christmas (2000): Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, Danny Elfman, William Hickey - PopMatters Film ...
		When The Nightmare Before Christmas was first released in 1993, I recall a reviewer saying, "This is the kind of story Dr. Seuss would have written if he had grown up on heavy metal and horror films." I must say that I agree.
		The results are predictably disastrous, as the horrors of Halloween are mixed unevenly with the joys of Christmas: Jack, as Santa, delivers shrunken heads, large snakes, goblins, and other frightful things to the children of the world, and is eventually shot down (in his coffin-sleigh) by the military.
		The real Santa is left to fix Christmas, as Jack realizes that all he really wants and needs to be is the best pumpkin king in the world.

		His art brings the world of The Nightmare Before Christmas to life, and his assistance has allowed the artists at Capcom to recapture the film's highly unique feel using the PS2's capabilities.
		As this was a premier event, there wasn't a playable version of the game and the clips shown were on the brief side and confined entirely to Halloween Town.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "The Nightmare before Christmas"
		The lights, the joy, the happiness of this town burn the dimmed light within Jack's head, and lead him to attempt a Christmas parade of his own in Halloween Town.
		Nightmare is not a bad film, but it just doesn't deliver for me. A straight face for this one.
		All I have to say is that THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS has to be one of the best clay-animated movies ever made.

		Vincent is clear predecessor of Nightmare before Christmas using the same stop-animation style and voiced superbly by Vincent Price himself; and Frankenweenie--a BandW live-action flick--takes you back to early B-movie territory seen through the eyes of a boy.
		The Nightmare Before Christmas is an fanasty film that tells the story of Jack Skellington (a skeleton) who longs for a more meanful existence in his home of Halloween Town, and desides to spread his version of Christmas to all, but his well meaning plan goes wrong.
		Nightmare before christmas was an astonishing film when it was first released over a decade ago, and nothing of its genius or calibar has come out since.

		One day, he literally stumbles into Christmas Town, and is delighted beyond the telling -- so far beyond the telling, in fact, that he can't make the other denizens of Halloween Town understand.
		He finally decides that he has to be part of Christmas, and so he hijacks the entire holiday -- which allows Jack's rival, Oogie Boogie, to kidnap Santa Claus and Jack's friend Sally and try to take over Halloween.
		From the opening scene in Halloween Town, to Jack's discovery of Christmas Town, to his experiments in the lab, to the final fight with Oogie Boogie, things are wondrous.

	BBC - Films - review - The Nightmare Before Christmas
		Jack Skellington (voiced by Sarandon), the pumpkin king of Halloweentown, has grown bored with his lot in life and the repetitive nature of giving people a scare each Halloween.
		From an original fairy tale poem and the fertile and febrile imagination of Tim Burton (the film was also known as "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" in the hope of lending it some extra commercial cachet) comes a wickedly dark and decidedly alternative look at every child's favourite day of the year.
		From a script by Caroline Thompson, director Selick moves the action along at a brisk pace but it's Burton's characters and superb production skills (as one would expect, the confection is a truly visually sumptuous affair) that really delight.

		Touchstone Pictures is rereleasing one of its modern classic this holiday season, "Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas," in which Jack Skellington (speaking Chris Sarandon/singing Danny Elfman) yearns to ditch his Halloween gig and dispense gifts from a sleigh, even if it is drawn by skeletal reindeer.
		Tim Burton's 1994 production was directed by an animation friend of his, Henry Selick, from 10 yrs before when Burton was a Disney animator but it has Burton written all over it.
		Skellington, voiced by Chris Sarandon, is the Pumpkin King and ruler of Halloween land, where the Halloween holiday is worked on all year by its strange inhabitants.

		Jack is amazed at what he sees, and soon he tries to convince Halloween town to mix Christmas and Halloween together, and it takes off from there.
		It was a tragedy that The Nightmare Before Christmas never got an anamorphic transfer on DVD, but this is one of the rare occasions that the UMD surpasses the DVD in terms of picture quality.
		First up in the extras is the 25-minute The Making of the Nightmare Before Christmas, which is a great in-depth look on the making of the movie and the team behind it.

	Hollywood Gothique: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) - Review
		As a film, The Nightmare Before Christmas is probably the greatest achievement of Tim Burrton’s career, but that credit must be shared with his many collaborators, including director Henry Selick, composer-lyricist Danny Elfman, and screenwriter Caroline Thompson.
		The making-of documentary helps gives some insight into the various contributions of these people, while tracing the origin of the project back to Burrton’s days at Disney (when he hoped the project would be a half-hour holiday TV special, along the lines of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer).
		Burrton’s “Vincent,” in particular, reveals a visual style that is strikingly similar to Nightmare (there is even a briefly glimpsed cat that looks the same in both films), and the fl-and-white Universal horror pastiche of “Frankenweenie” also foreshadows some of the monochromatic imagery of Halloween Town.

		both of these things are okay in moderation, but most Christmas movies seem to go to one side of the spectrum or the other.
		the darkness in the movie is not without cause-it shows the joy of Christmas in great contrast to the scariness of Halloween, and it made me love both holidays all the more for that reason.
		i don't know, maybe that's just because Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays, but i really feel that this movie is great for older children and adults.

	The Nightmare Before Christmas movie review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Infused with the Christmas customs and spirit, he decides to kidnap its fearsome ruler (with a deep mighty voice and great bulging arms, whom they call Sandy Claws (Ed Ivory)), and appropriate the Christmas holiday for his own.
		In addition, he has also created a Halloween and Christmas Town (the latter clearly influenced by Dr. Seuss and the former could've been influenced by Edward Gorey's macabre style) that inspires the imagination.
		From the initial Halloween song to Jack's lament, his discovery and obsessions of the wonders of Christmas, to the kidnapping of Santa Claus and the confrontation with Oogie Boogie, each piece of music heightens the magic in this fable.
