Many of you may not know about Tim Burton, but he is a spectacular film director. He's not a typical director, instead of using people, he uses hand crafted characters and set designs that sprung from his brilliant mind to express how marvelous he really is, the one and only Tim Burton.
In this brilliant movie, he does it again with Nightmare Before Christmas, a spectacular film about a lost character named Skeleton Jack who is the Pumpkin King in Halloween Town. Sally is a ragdoll who wants to be free from her madman master and finds a way to run away from her demanding home. Jack walks away from the life he knows as the Pumpkin King and ends up in Christmas Town, a completly different lifestyle than what he knows in Halloween Town. He brings back his ideas to Halloween Town and declares that he can do Christmas better than the idol of Christmas Town, Sandy Clause himself. Sally finds herself in a preditament of falling in love with Jack who was stuck on the track of taking over Christmas and becoming Santa himself, just in a more scarier way. Sally decides to take Christmas into her own, uh, hands.
Always a great movie right before Christmas, or Halloween. Or right between if you dare.
