Okay so even though Halloween is over, I have one last Halloween movie that I saw last night a little past midnight, so right after Halloween ended. So here's my review for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Plot: Jack is a skeleton in the last of Halloween Town who is titled the pumpkin king and the main leader for celebrating Halloween. However, Jack secretly admits that he's tired of the same routine of celebrating Halloween every year. One day after celebrating another successful year of Halloween, he wanders off into the forest where he finds and accidentally falls into a portal that sends him to Christmas Town. Amazed by this world, he decides to try to share it with the people of Halloween Town. But the people of Halloween Town fail to understand the concept of Christmas, trying to compare it to Halloween, so Jack reluctantly decides to play along with their ideas and eventually give into the idea of Halloween Town taking over Christmas.
This was a cleverly made movie. I mean the stop-motion animation goes without saying, but I'll say that it's very well made and carried out anyway just for the sake of those who haven't seen this movie. The story is also creative and the characters are fun. And the whole world that they created was very original and they did an excellent job with the design for Halloween Town especially. I mean most of the creatures that live in Halloween Town are most of your everyday kind of monsters when you think Halloween, but some of them are rather uniquely designed like the Harlequin Demon. (That guy that has half of his whole head as his mouth or something... I'm not sure what's the right way to describe it but if you've seen the movie, hopefully you'll know what I'm talking about.)
Music: The soundtrack to this movie is easily a lot of fun. I think it's common knowledge to view "This is Halloween" as possibly the best song in the entire movie. It's just a very fun song that introduces us to all of the creepiest or most creative creatures and monsters that live in Halloween Town.
And that's my review for The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a fun, clever and creative film with well done stop motion animation, fun music, and a good story that is all around a very good movie and is another good film to enjoy watching on Halloween.
