Details
Movie Description
Tim Burton's stop-motion animated feature finds Pumpkin King Jack Skellington thinking the grass is greener over in Santa Claus's holiday. He marshals all his goblins and ghouls to take over Christmas, but alas--poor Jack belongs to Halloween. An amazing visual and musical feast that should be seen at least twice to catch all the kinks and quirks in the nooks and crannies. Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.
Synopsis
Tired of being an object of fear for small children, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, sets out to replace Santa Claus and oversee Christmas festivities for a year. A trio of ghastly ghouls is assigned to the task of kidnapping Saint Nick; meanwhile, Jack attends to the Yuletide activities, giving them a frightful new twist in the process.

Industry Reviews
"...Delectably ghoulish....A major step forward for both stop-motion animation [and for Burton]..."
New York Times - p.13 - Janet Maslin (10/09/1993)
"...A rich, inventive score by Danny Elfman..."
Sight and Sound - p.53-4 - Kim Newman (12/01/1994)
"...Charming...A terrific package..." -- Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly - p.81 - Steve Simels (12/23/1994)
"...A feast for the eyes and the imagination..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/27/2000)
"...First, go for the story. Then go back just to look in the corners of the screen, and appreciate the little visual surprises and inspirations that are tucked into every nook and cranny..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/22/1993)
5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] vivid background characters, underplayed by deeply felt relationships, priceless gags and thoroughly hummable tunes which inspire varied and imaginative musical sequences."
Empire - Kim Newman (01/01/2008)
