Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Collector's Edition on … - Bigpicturebigsound.com- Halloween News
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and sparked by witnessing the changeover of a store window from Halloween to Christmas decorations, Burton set off to spin a Seussian tale of his own, but with a macabre twist that could only come from his mind. The Nightmare Before Christmas is the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King and leader of Halloween Town who has grown bored with leading the same holiday year after year. There is but one hole in the plot and that is the obligatory love story subplot between Jack and Sally, which happens too quickly and without just cause, as Sally almost immediately begins daydreaming about Jack, but it’s a minor flaw in an otherwise solid story. Despite his making a hash of the holiday and conspiring to kidnap Santa, Jack never wants to squash Christmas, he only wants to experience the wonderment of it and break out of the doldrums of his own life.
