Tim Burton’s The Nightmare before Christmas

Fanciful frights and devilish delights await moviegoers this Halloween season as this stylish stop-motion animated musical-fantasy returns to popular big screen haunts. From the wild imaginations of producer Tim Burton and director Henry Selick comes a visit to a world where every holiday has its own special land. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world”. When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously astray.
