Description of this The Nightmare Before Christmas Poster
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 American stop-motion animated film directed by Henry Selick (in his directorial debut) and produced and designed by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the king of “Halloween Town,” who stumbles upon “Christmas Town” and seeks to take over the holiday. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and music and provided the voice of Jack. The main cast also includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Ed Ivory. The Nightmare Before Christmas originated in a poem Burton wrote in 1982 while working as an animator at Walt Disney Productions. With the success of Vincent that same year, Burton began considering developing The Nightmare Before Christmas as a short film or a half-hour television special, but it was unsuccessful. Over the years, Burton revisited the project regularly, and in 1990, he entered into a development agreement with Walt Disney Studios. Production began in July 1991 in San Francisco; Disney initially distributed the film through Touchstone Pictures because the studio believed it would be “too dark and scary for children.” The film was a critical success upon its release, receiving praise for its animation (particularly the innovation of the stop-motion art form), characters, songs, and score. Although it initially achieved modest box office success, it has since garnered a cult following. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, a first for an animated film, but lost to Jurassic Park. The film has since been re-released by Walt Disney Pictures and was re-released annually in Disney Digital 3-D from 2006 to 2010. Halloween Town is a fantasy world populated by various monsters and beings associated with the holiday. Jack Skellington, respected by the townspeople as the “Pumpkin King,” guides them in organizing the annual Halloween celebrations. However, this year, Jack has grown tired of the same old routine and wants something new. Walking through the woods the next morning, he encounters seven trees containing doors leading to other worlds themed around holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day) and stumbles upon the one leading to Christmas Town. Marveling at this unfamiliar holiday, Jack returns home to show his friends and neighbors what he has discovered, but, ignorant of the concept of Christmas, they compare everything to their own idea of Halloween. However, they identify with a character in Christmas Town: its ruler, Santa Claus, or “Sandy Claws,” as Jack mistakenly calls him. Jack locks himself in his house to study Christmas more closely and find a way to explain it rationally. After studies and experiments yield nothing, Jack finally decides that Christmas should be enhanced rather than understood and announces that Halloween Town will take over Christmas this year. Jack assigns the townspeople numerous Christmas-themed tasks, including singing carols, making gifts, and building a sleigh pulled by skeletal reindeer. Sally, a female creation of Dr. Finkelstein, a local mad scientist, has a vision that tells her their efforts will end disastrously. Jack, whom she secretly loves, ignores this and assigns her the task of making him a Santa Claus costume. He also tasks the mischievous trio Lock, Shock, and Barrel with kidnapping Santa Claus and bringing him to Halloween Town. Jack tells Santa that he will take care of Christmas for him this year and orders the trio to keep Santa safe, but against his wishes, they deliver Santa to Jack’s longtime rival, Oogie Boogie, a bogeyman with a gambling passion, who plots to play a game with Santa’s life on the line. Sally attempts to rescue Santa to save him and Jack from their potential doom, but she is also captured. Jack sets out to deliver his gifts in the real world, but the gifts frighten the people, who contact the authorities and ask them to seal off their homes and residences for protection. When news of Jack’s alleged misdeeds spreads, he is eventually shot down by military forces and crash-lands in a cemetery. While everyone in Halloween Town believes him to be dead, Jack survives. As he laments the disaster he caused, he realizes that he still enjoyed the experience, rekindling his love for Halloween. However, he soon realizes he must act quickly to undo his mistake. Jack returns home and infiltrates Oogie’s lair, rescuing Santa and Sally before confronting Oogie and defeating him by unraveling the thread holding his cloth form together, causing all the critters within to spill out and reduce him to nothing. Jack apologizes for his actions to Santa, who, though furious at Jack for the trouble he caused and for ignoring Sally’s warnings, assures him that he can still save Christmas. As Santa replaces Jack’s presents with genuine ones, all of Halloween Town celebrates Jack’s survival and return. Santa then shows Jack that there are no hard feelings between them by bringing a snowfall to the town, which in a way fulfills Jack’s original dream and allows the townspeople to finally realize the true meaning of Christmas. Afterward, Jack and Sally declare their love for each other.
