Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the most unique, dynamic and refreshing of the animated holiday film staples. The art design sets it apart: with beautiful stop motion animation, dark color palette and macabre stylistic tinge that permeates throughout the world. Is it a Christmas film or a Halloween film? You decide!

Enter an extraordinary world filled with magic and wonder, where every holiday has its own special land. This is the heartfelt tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town and all things that go bump in the night. Bored with the same old tricks and treats, he yearns for something more, and soon stumbles upon the glorious magic of Christmas Town. When Jack decides to bring this joyful holiday back to Halloween Town, his dream to fill Santa’s shoes unravels, and it’s up to Sally, the rag doll who loves him, to stitch things together again.
