The Nightmare Before Christmas follows
the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king,
who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the
"real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown,
all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to
bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the
role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men
can go seriously awry. With a fantastic story by Tim Burton,
stunning stop-motion animation by Henry Selick (Coraline –
playing here on December 18), unforgettable songs by Danny Elfman (who
also plays Jack), and a wonderful cast that includes Catherine O’Hara, Chris
Sarandon, and Paul Reubens, this has become a beloved classic
for two holidays! (US, 1993,
76min., English, color, PG, DCP | Dir. Henry Selick)
