Best Film Ever!
By Dan Haslum from Leicester, England , 31 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favourite film. Considering it was made over 10 years ago now the animation is still outstanding. The story tells of Jack The Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. Every year the residents of Halloween Town, which includes everything from vampires to witches to little mummy boys,come up with plans for Halloween and how to scare everyone in the real world. But Jack is tired of the same old holiday and longs for something else. At night as he walks through the forest he comes across a gathering of trees with differnet doors representing the different holidays, but the one he is drawn to the most is that of Christmas Town. Jack is amazed by the idea of Christmas and soons decides that all his fellow residents of Halloween Town should stop Halloween this year and make Christmas!. Aided by all his friends Jack's dream starts to become reality but one resident, Sally (who is a ragdoll made by the mad scientist Dr Finklestein) isnt so sure. She has a secret love for Jack that knowbody knows. She doubts Jack's idea of Christmas is going to go according to plan but he doesnt listen and so starts The Nightmare Before Christmas. Filled with brilliant songs composed by the excellent Danny Elfman, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is a ghoulish tale for all the family.- Was this review helpful to you?

Boring and so overated!
By a customer , 17 Dec 2012It's so overated, there is just far to much singing. I think this is way to grown up for children. I find it a little to scary for my daughter. Find it a little boring also.- Was this review helpful to you?

By McHazel (11 reviews) from Weybridge , 24 Nov 2011Very good surprisingly different animated film, which is right for viewing this time of year. Even my husband whose first choice would not be an animated film, managed to watch it to its conclusion.- Was this review helpful to you?
