I love this movie, Me and my family watch it every christmas eve. Its so funny and tim burton is amazing. The songs and drawings are so great. All the imagination and creativity that went in to this film amazes me everytime i watch it. My fav icharacter is the boogyman, so well made and is beyond anything that most people imagine.
This movie is hilarious. I have never laughed so much ever. It has great acting, affects, dialogue, and especially superb humour – everything you need in a great movie. The movie does have a few scenes that drag out but all in all it’s a must have for all comedy fans and is suitable for basically all ages. Buy it – You definitely won’t be disappointed!!
After the annual watching of this movie on Halloween I felt the urge to write a quick review. First, the animation is amazing. The effort that went into the making of this movie is definitely felt. The plot is interesting because there is a subtle critique/exploration of how one culture experiences itself and how it views/experiences another foreign culture. Jack Skellington is a great character and the soundtrack is great.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of those movies that you really can watch over and over again. I just love all the characters, and Jack Skellington is just so endearing. The dark humour, the wonderful animation, and the completely original songs...what's not to like? this really is a classic tale, popular with all ages!! a defintie must-see, and a fantastic addition to anyones dvd collection!!
This movie has always been a favorite of mine. I never like holiday movies, because i always find them to be full to bursting with slapstick comedy, or way too sugary-sweet and dramatic. both of these things are okay in moderation, but most Christmas movies seem to go to one side of the spectrum or the other. this wonderful fairy tale is perfect for someone like me, who likes a little bit of a darker movie, but expects a Christmas movie to have a good message. 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. younger children (up to 5 or 6 years) may find this simply frightening, but older children would find it wonderful.
I greatly enjoyed this film. It was so in depth and the detail was fantastic. Great for the entire family! Even if your not sure about it at first, just have a look and you are sure to enjoy it. Definitely one of the best movies of all time. I just loved it. it was so fantastically fantastic. highly recommended. yes i enjoyed this very much, and i think that everyone should check it out! fabulous, i give it 5 stars..

i love love love this movie! not only is it another crack up movie from tim burton but it really caught the attention of everyone in the family! for a week after seeing this movie my son was skipping around the house singing "merry christmas, merry christmas, HALLOWEEN!!!!!!" lmao. definitely recommend you watch this then watch the corpse bride... cause if there is a movie better then this one it is the corpse bride! Go Tim Burton!
Brilliant stop motion film about a Halloween world, featuring Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, who is growing bored of Halloween and has no idea what to do about it until he stumbles upon several trees in a forest that have doors leading to other holiday worlds. He enters Christmas and falls in love with its themes, and decides to do Christmas inhis own world, with disasterous results. Cutting edge stop motion and great songs make this film the classic that it is.
