Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 film produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick. The film follows Jack Skellington, the leader of a holiday-themed world known as Halloween Town, who becomes bored of his repetitive lifestyle and eventually stumbles upon the world of Christmas Town; interested in the new world's culture, Jack attempts to combine the two holidays, with unexpectedly disastrous results.
The film was a critical and commercial success, with particular praise awarded for the film's stop motion animation, musical score and original storyline. Following its release, the film has earned a significant following, with merchandise, video games and other media dedicated to the film. The film has been theatrically re-released on several occasions since its original release, including two released remastered in Disney Digital 3-D. It is rated PG for "some scary images" by the MPAA. Michael Eisner, the CEO of Disney, thought the film was too dark for children, so Disney decided to release the film under Touchstone Pictures. However, when the film was re-released in 2006 in Disney Digital 3D, it was released under the Walt Disney banner.

[edit] Plot
The film begins in Halloween Town, a magical world inhabited by various creatures who make elaborate plans for a dark ceremony every year on October 31, hoping for each Halloween to be superior to the last. Though the residents of Halloween Town are always up for a trick or a good scare, they never truly mean to hurt anyone with their holiday. The land is led by Jack Skellington, a slender undead creature who is thought to be the scariest being in the entire world. As the townspeople celebrate their annual ceremony, Jack feels depressed, wishes for variety, and wonders whether there is more to life than scaring people. Meanwhile, Jack's secret admirer, Sally the Rag Doll, watches him from afar, although she is constantly thwarted by her domineering creator, Doctor Finklestein.
While wandering in the woods, Jack and his ghostly pet dog, Zero, encounter portals leading to other holiday-themed worlds. Jack accidentally enters Christmas Town, a land of eternal joy and winter, and is amazed by the population's joyous behavior. Jack, wishing to embrace this culture, quickly returns to Halloween Town, where he presents the townspeople with his slightly inaccurate impressions of Christmas. The townspeople, interested in the holiday, agree to celebrate Christmas this year.
Jack decides to operate the holiday, eventually becoming obsessed with Christmas and deciding to usurp the role of Santa Claus. Every resident is assigned a task, although Sally believes that his plans will lead to ruin. There is some foreshadowing to suggest that she is correct; because the people of Halloween Town have lived all their lives by scaring people, the Christmas gifts and decorations they create are more frightening and grotesque than pleasing. Jack ignores Sally's warning and commissions her to create his Christmas outfit. Jack then assigns Lock, Shock, and Barrel, a trio of mischievous, child-like monsters representing trick-or-treaters, to transport Santa to Halloween Town. They, after mistakenly capturing (and, on Jack's orders, returning) the Easter Bunny, successfully kidnap Santa Claus. Against Jack's wishes and largely for their own amusement, the trio deliver Santa to the lair of Oogie Boogie (aka, The Bogeyman), a sadistic, compulsive gambler who plots to play a game with Santa's life.
December 25 soon arrives; although Sally attempts to stop him, Jack embarks into the sky on a coffin-like sled pulled by skeletal reindeer (all three created by Finklestein), hoping to deliver presents to children around the world; while the townspeople are overjoyed, Sally wanders off alone to be miserable. As Jack begins delivering gifts, children are horrified by their monstrous, animated presents, while their parents believe Jack to be a monster attempting to imitate Santa Claus. The military shoot him out of the sky, destroying his sleigh. Although Jack is initially depressed, he realizes he is still the ruler of Halloween Town and can bring joy to the world in his own way.
Sally attempts to free Santa, only to be captured by Oogie Boogie. Just as they are about to be killed by immersion in a foul stew, Jack arrives and challenges their captor. Oogie Boogie flees, placing his complex, sophisticated, deadly gaming machines in Jack's path as obstacles. However, Oogie Boogie becomes tangled in one of his own machines and is (with Jack's intervention) split open, revealing himself to be merely an animated sackful of insects. Most of Oogie's "bugs" fall into the stew and are boiled alive. The leader bug attemps to flee, but is squashed by Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, freed, reprimands Jack, and then sets off to correct Christmas by exchanging Jack's frightening toys for more pleasant playthings. This he does successfully. Jack and Sally return to Halloween Town, aided by a reformed Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Sally discovers that she has been replaced in Doctor Finklestein's service by another mannequin, leaving her free to pursue Jack's attention. They share a kiss while Zero contently looks on from afar.

On the soundtrack album, Patrick Stewart voices the opening narrative poem. A second poem, also read by Stewart, is included before the end credits music; in this passage, the narrator describes a visit he made to Halloween Town many years after the events of the film, where he finds Jack with "four or five skeleton children at hand".
[edit] Initial conception
The original ideas for the film came to Tim Burton while working as an animator for Disney. While at work, Burton scribbled out the poem on a piece of paper as well as a few drawings. These initial versions only included Jack, Zero and Santa Claus.[1] Burton did pitch the film to Walt Disney Feature Animation as a traditionally-animated project. In the years after Burton left Disney, Disney became more interested in doing the project as a stop-motion film to branch out into other animation fields.
Burton has stated that he was inspired by being at a store and seeing them taking down the Halloween merchandise and changing it out for Christmas displays: the juxtaposition of ghouls and goblins with Santa and his reindeer sparked his imagination.[2] Burton also loved holiday movies such as How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. In an interview, he described The Nightmare Before Christmas as almost an opposite of The Grinch, because instead of wanting to destroy Christmas, Jack accidentally destroys it while trying to celebrate it.[3]
Sally-the-ragdoll character is named after real-life seamstress Sally Lockhart.
Oogie Boogie may sound similar to Oingo Boingo, which was the alternative rock band of composer Danny Elfman in the 80s. Burton was a fan of the band before befriending Elfman.
[edit] Production[4]
The Nightmare Before Christmas marked the first time that a stop-motion movie had been attempted at this scale. Because of this fact, a great deal of imagination and inventiveness had to be used in making the film. In order to produce the film, Tim Burton assembled a hand-picked group of animators, artists, and crew members to work on the film and founded a production company called Skellington Studios. As an artist himself, Burton was very involved in the production process, guiding the production crew as to the way the film should look and feel, even limiting them to orange, black and white as the primary colors of Halloween Town. Burton also encouraged the artists to not use their dominant hands so as to give their drawings his trademark feel.
Once the sets had been approved they were then made into half scale mock-ups out of cardboard. These were then used as guidelines to build the actual sets. The puppets were constructed with a detailed metal armature as a skeleton, and then placed into molds which were injected with a foam latex. From there they were sent to the fabrication department to be painted and finished. Multiple puppets were made of most of the characters so that they could cycle between the set and fabrication for touch ups.
The crew often had to improvise solutions to problems that they encountered during production. One of these problems was to give facial expressions to the puppets and making them speak. This was accomplished in a number of different fashions. Some puppets had mouths that were moved manually while some of the main puppets, such as Jack, were given hundreds of replaceable heads so that they could have a greater range of expression. The puppet for Sally was given interchangeable masks that were integrated behind her hairline because her hair was too long to be sculpted for the number of heads that would be needed. Another problem that was faced was allowing the animators to work on the sets. Because some of the sets were so large, the animators were worried that they would have to reach too far to move the puppets. This problem was solved by building the sets in different sections that could be separated when an animator was working and then placed back together for the shot.
The actual production of filming was a very slow and grueling process, taking over 3 years to finish. The animators worked on multiple sound stages at once to improve productivity on the film but a week’s work was still only a minute’s worth of actual film. The animators had to be very cautious on the sets as a simple thing such as a bump to one of the puppets could ruin a shot and they would have to start from scratch.
At the finish of the production of the film, the sets and puppets all faced different fates. Henry Selick kept a great deal of props from the film in his personal collection, and some of the animators also took home the puppets. Many of the sets were simply discarded as there were so many of them and they took up a great deal of space. A number of the puppets with a more human like structure were cut open and the armature taken out, as they were custom made and expensive. The Town Hall can currently be seen on display by the staircase leading from the ground to the 1st floor at Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney, Orlando, Florida.
[edit] Reception
The Nightmare Before Christmas opened on October 15, 1993 to very positive reviews. Roger Ebert awarded the film three-and-a-half stars (Out of four), praising the film as an "enormous achievement." He went on to compare the film's fantasy elements to that of Metropolis and Star Wars writing that the film features "visual richness so abundant, [the film] deserves more than one viewing."[5] Popular critic James Berardinelli shared this opinion, writing that "The Nightmare Before Christmas has something to offer just about everyone." He stated that "the film is designed for all but the youngest children" and praised the film as "an amazing achievement." [6]
However, a select few critics remained unimpressed, believing the film favored visual effects over a good storyline. Critic Robert Roten awarded the film a C+, believing the film "fell short" of the "warmth and humor" of Burton's previous film, Edward Scissorhands. Although he believed the film to be "very clever," he ultimately concluded that "it never lives up to the promise of its visual brilliance."[7] Even Berardinelli, who awarded the film three-and-a-half stars (Out of four), believed the film's musical score to be seriously flawed. He negatively compared the film's musical numbers to that of Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, writing that "the tunes are uniformly unmemorable." He ultimately believed the poor musical numbers represented the film's "most serious failing."[8]
The Nightmare Before Christmas opened in two theaters and grossed $191,232 for a per-theater average of $95,616[9], which stands as the thirteenth-highest opening weekend average on record[10]. Two weeks later, the film opened in 1,654 theaters and grossed $8.2 million[11], becoming the number-one film in the United States for two weeks[12]. The film eventually grossed over $50 million domestically[13], which would equal over $79.46 million adjusted for inflation[14]. On October 27, 2000, the film was re-issued in 72 theaters but failed to match the success of the film's initial release; it ultimately grossed just $376,586 domestically and did not receive a worldwide release[15].
The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score in 1994, competing alongside Schindler's List and The Piano, though it was defeated by Kitaro's composition for Heaven & Earth.[16] In the same year, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Visual Effects, a rare honor for an animated film, though it was defeated by Jurassic Park.[17]
On October 20, 2006, the film was again re-released in select theaters, albeit in a much different format; the film was converted into Disney Digital 3-D, recreating the film's appearance and attempting to enhance the movie-going experience. Opening in 168 theaters, the film grossed $3.2 million for a per-theater average of $19,505, which stood as the highest per-theater average of any film opening that weekend.[18] Although the film was front-loaded[19], it was still very successful, grossing $8.7 million overall. The film was again released in 3-D the following year, and has thus far grossed $6.65 million in seven days.[20]
[edit] Legacy
Although The Nightmare Before Christmas was a box office success upon its initial release, many critics believed the film would prove too frightening for younger children and would be better-suited among older children. Since its release, the film has become a well-known production, has earned the status of a cult classic, and is extremely popular among American teenagers. Retailers such as Hot Topic and Spencer's Gifts are well-known promoters of the film, offering apparel, music and video games dedicated to the film.
In 1996, Skellington Productions produced another stop-motion musical film, James and the Giant Peach, based on the children's novel of the same name by popular author Roald Dahl. Although the film boasted a more well-known voice cast than The Nightmare Before Christmas (featuring actors Simon Callow, Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon, among others), it failed to achieve Nightmare's success, earning weaker reviews[21] and grossing far below its predecessor.[22]
Tim Burton later produced a third stop-motion musical film, Corpse Bride, which was released theatrically in 2005. Although the film earned stronger critical acclaim[23] than James and the Giant Peach and, unlike its predecessor, was a box office success,[24] it failed to reach the same level of acclaim, popularity or financial success as The Nightmare Before Christmas. Of the three films, Nightmare boasts the highest rating on The Internet Movie Database[25][26][27] and website Rotten Tomatoes.
Since 2006, Matt Eisenmann and Christina Taylor have been working on the script for a Broadway production of the movie. There is no expectation of when they will be done.
Blink-182 makes a reference to this movie in their song "I Miss You", "We can live like Jack and Sally if you want. Where you can always find me, we'll have Halloween on Christmas..."
[edit] Haunted Mansion Holiday

For the past five years, the Disneyland in California and Tokyo Disneyland in Japan have received a Nightmare Before Christmas themed overlay, entitled Haunted Mansion Holiday in California and Holiday Nightmare in Japan, for their Haunted Mansion attractions. The attractions are closed in September each year for themes to be completely overhauled, and open again themed in October until January of the next year. The attraction generally has a one night opening event each year that includes special guests, a dinner, special merchandise, and a ride through the attraction, although the Happiest Celebration on Earth halted that in Disneyland in 2005. Starting in 2001, the ride has included a score that incorporates music from the film, written by film composer Danny Elfman, and adapted specifically for the ride by John Debney.[28]
[edit] Video games
A video game based on the original movie was released in 2005. The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is an action/adventure game developed by Capcom from Japan for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox systems.[29] Intended to be a sequel to the movie, the game features the return of all the well-known characters in a new and arguably darker story with upgraded versions of the film's songs. In the story, Jack leaves Halloween Town to satisfy his curiosity. During Jack's absence, unfortunately, Oogie Boogie is reconstructed by Lock, Shock, and Barrel. By the time Jack returns, Oogie Boogie has taken over Halloween Town and tricked its people into thinking Jack has abandoned them. Now Jack has to stop Oogie Boogie's evil plans as he attempts to take over the other holiday worlds, and the 'real' world. The game features controls similar to Devil May Cry and a weapon known as 'Soul Robber'. In the game players get other costumes such as "Pumpkin King," and "Santa Jack". The game was originally going to have a Teen rating, but upon release received an E-10 rating.
A Game Boy Advance game, The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King came out in fall 2005. The opposite of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions, the GBA game works as a prequel to the movie. The Pumpkin King is a side-scrolling action platformer (similar to Metroid and Castlevania) in which the player controls Jack Skellington and use a number of different weapons to fight enemies and traverse obstacles. The side-scrolling adventure game centers on the first time Jack faced off against his nemesis, Oogie Boogie, to eventually become the Pumpkin King. The game's plot begins with the invasion of some unusual bugs in Halloween Town. Jack soon discovers that these nasty insects are under the control of Oogie Boogie, who's looking to take over Halloween himself.
Halloween Town's first appearance was in the Square Enix/Disney Kingdom Hearts video game series. In this game, Jack tries to create an artificial heart so he can control the Heartless for use in his "Heartless Halloween". His plan goes haywire when Oogie Boogie (one of the Disney villains allied with Maleficent) steals the heart, ingests it, and tries to use it to control the Heartless for his own purposes. Jack then teams up with Sora and the others to stop Oogie Boogie's plans. Jack can also join Sora's party whenever they are in Halloween Town. He was also included in the GameBoy Advance game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories as a Friend Card sporting his own unique Sleights, or combos. In this version, he helps Sora stop Oogie Boogie after the latter drank a potion that shows the true memories of the heart and frightens all but the most pure-hearted. His appearance as a Friend unlocks the availability of the Pumpkinhead Keyblade Card as well. Also, Oogie Boogie appears as an Enemy Card, allowing the player to slowly regain health over a short period of time.
Kingdom Hearts II also features Halloween Town and its residents and is the first appearance of Christmas town. Jack, wearing a Santa suit, wants to run Christmas a second time, showing that the events of the game take place after the events from the movie. In the game, Maleficent arrives to recruit Lock, Shock, and Barrel to help her wreck Christmas Town and make Santa Claus into a Heartless. But when Sora arrives to help Jack as Santa's bodyguard, Maleficent uses her powers to revive Oogie Boogie, who now seems to have short-term memory loss, remembering only his undying hatred of Jack and his "sidekicks". Nonetheless, Oogie Boogie is defeated just as he had been before, with the exception that it is Donald Duck who squashes Oogie Boogie's last bug instead of Santa.
In the second visit, Jack (still wearing the Santa outfit) teams up with Sora to help bring back lost presents to Santa. During their mission, the two learn of a mysterious "gift-thief." While at first Lock, Shock and Barrel are accused, their innocence is later proven. The thief turns out to be a robotic creature created by Dr. Finklestein, referred to as the "Experiment." It is caught and defeated while attempting to find a heart by stealing Santa's presents since it lacked its own. Jack offers to still deliver the presents but Santa tells Jack why he is a leader of Halloween Town while Santa is the leader of Christmas Town, but lets Jack take a ride in his sleigh anyway.
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Oogie Boogie's death is referenced by a trainer who says "My bugs... my bugs!" upon his defeat.
[edit] Comics
The characters of The Nightmare Before Christmas have also appeared in the realm of comic books, more specifically in manga. An adaptation of the movie by Jun Asaga was published by Kodansha and later translated in English by Disney Press. Despite its popularity in the game Kingdom Hearts, the world "Halloween Town" failed to appear in the manga adaptation of the game, causing many to turn away from the manga by Shiro Amano, published by Bros. Comics EX (and later translated into English by Tokyopop). An allusion to the movie is also provided in the manga The Wallflower by Tomoko Hayakawa.
