The Nightmare Before Christmas

I just got The Nightmare before Christmas DVD. I always love the movie, but if you are expecting a great 2 DVD edition, sorry to disappoint you. And if you own a Zune, the digital copy doesn't work on it.

I found the movie entertaining, although a few scenes were visually nauseating to look at. The developing love between Jack and the patchwork girl was actually both touching and convincing. I also enjoyed the way that Santa Claus, once freed from captivity, went around the world setting things right at super-speed.

All right, now it's your turn, Timmy: go visit my Don Quixote thread in Other Fantasy Worlds!

I actually saw it in theaters when it first came out. I was ( and still am) a huge fan of Tim Burton's first Batman film and my dad thougth I'd enjoy it. I did, even though dad kept saying that Burton based Jack off of me. It's oen of my favoriets. I even bought a copy fo the roiginal soundtrack with Partick Stewart's original narrations ( he was supossed to nrate it first as well as voice Santa Claus but they scrapped him last minute as his voice was at that point, to noticable as Captain Picard).

I agree completly on Jack and Sally. It's almost even more convincing and touching then what I find in most chick-flicks my sisters make me watch. You honestly care for them and about their relationship. Perhaps it's because they are friends first. It's so convincing you almost forget they are techinically "undead".

That was kind of cool too how quickly Santa could fix things.

I also love the Rankin-Bass style of puppetry they choose. It always amazes me at the dedication and patience the filmmakers had to do stop-motion ( I think it took two weeks to do one scene). Along with puppetry, it's becoming a dying art form.
