 Rated 4 out of 5
Good Story; Mesmorizing Detail and Special Effects/Graphics
The Nightmare Before Christmas is original in every sense of the word. The story line--Halloween creatures taking over the holiday of Christmas--has, from what I know, never been carried out before. Jack Skellington is the lead character who attempts to take over Christmas. The irony of this story is that the lead villian turns out to also be a hero. That, again, is a display of sheer brilliance and creativity. And it is true -- almost everyone in our modern era loathes musicals. I do too. But there is something quite masterful and creative about the way it is presented in this film. Although the movie is 10 years old, it will likely be quite timeless. There is nothing about the story that indicates the time period. The graphics are still of very high quality -- to the point that it is somewhat like "eye candy." I was mesmorized by the graphics. Yes, me--an adult. -- Michael Gordon  Rated 5 out of 5!
The best movie ever
I like the music of that movie and it’’s not scary. All the characters are not dressed up, even at christmas they still look like monsters.I like when jack sings the song "what’’s this ?".- Rated 5 out of 5!
A masterpiece
Since this film was released ten years ago, it still garners acclaim the world over, and justifiably it should. Tim Burton’’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is a true feast for the senses, from the atmosphere to the state of the art stop motion animation, this film is pure joy from beginning to end. The story revolves around Jack Skellington, the king of Halloweentown who soon tires of his day in, day out Halloween themed shenanigans. When he stumbles upon Christmastown, he plans to bring his own version of Christmas to everyone by impersonating a kidnapped Santa Claus. While the film is aimed at a young audience, teens and adults will eat up everything that is presented here. And even though some of the film may be too macabre for it’’s own good towards young children, The Nightmare Before Christmas is still a rousing film that actually will satisfy the entire family. This Special Edition DVD presents the film with a fantastic DTS track, and includes a number of extras including two short films from Tim Burton.
