The Nightmare Before Christmas Review: This Delightfully Dark Animated Classic Is Still One Of The Best Holiday Movies Ever
The Nightmare Before Christmas features incredible stop-motion animation, with a deliciously dark story for the whole family. Unlike many of Disney's best-known animated films, The Nightmare Before Christmas has a markedly darker and more twisted approach to storytelling. Everything from the stop-motion animation to the gruesome characters and the narrative, which is designed to be off-beat and unique, come together beautifully.
Henry Selick directs The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop-motion fairytale from the mind of Tim Burton. Jack Skellington is the king of Halloween and one of Halloweentown's most beloved citizens, but he longs for something more. When he stumbles across a magical door that leads him to discover Christmas, he makes it his mission to replace Santa Claus and bring festive cheer to his perpetually spooky hamlet.
