Notes

The Nightmare Before Christmas, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, is a stop-motion animated musical fantasy that has become a beloved holiday classic since its release in 1993. The film follows Jack Skellington, the "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town, who grows weary of his usual spooky routines and stumbles upon Christmas Town, a vibrant place filled with holiday cheer. Enthralled by this new holiday, Jack decides to take over Christmas, leading to a mix of dark humor and heartwarming moments as Halloween Town’s eerie residents attempt to recreate Christmas—with eerie and often humorous results. Known for its haunting visuals, unique characters, and a memorable score by Danny Elfman, The Nightmare Before Christmas captures Tim Burton’s signature style and storytelling, merging the macabre with a sense of whimsey.
