I watched almost every night with my oldest son when he was 4 years old. I once was able to say every word, sing every song! Best part was being with my baby boy.
A fact most people don't know is that *The Nightmare Before Christmas* was nominated for the Best Visual Effects Oscar for its stop-motion animation. No other animated film before or since has been nominated in that category, which is usually reserved for live-action movies. The other nominees that year were *Jurassic Park* and *Cliffhanger.* The winner was *JP,* of course.
I LOVE how Disney has come to embrace Nightmare. As Minty notes, they were too afraid to call it a Disney Film and made it Touchstone. But now its PROUDLY called a Disney Film. And Jack Skellington, Sally and Oogie can be seen in the parks. And the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland has a Nightmare overlay for the Holidays. SO MUCH FUN!
Hmm I'm very disturbed by this fact too! Now they put up christmas before Halloween is even over! And then totally skipping over Thanksgiveing! So yeah i could see that reasoning! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This movie could be a Thanksgiving movie. Thanksgiving is between Halloween and Christmas and the gist of the film is Jack learning to be thankful for who he is.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all-time favorite movies. I love it, my parents love it, my dad's cousin loves it, WE ALL LOVE IT! One reason I love it is that it combines two of my favorite holidays: Halloween and Christmas. Also, Jack would have looked weird and creepy with eyeballs, so I'm glad that they didn't give him any.
You should do these 10 Things You Didn't Know About: - The Polar Express - All Dogs Go to Heaven - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Robin Hood (1973) - Thomas and the Magic Railroad - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
I always thought a prequel would have been cool. That way we could see Jack in his prime for Halloween! Maybe even his first Halloween. Just as long as it has all the same actors and was stop motion.
As a kid, who grew up on Ray Harryhausen movies and would animate my GI Joes (the original 12 inch guys) with my grandfathers 8mm camera, I wasted no time seeing this film when it hit theaters. Along with Wallace and Gromit and the Laika Studio movies, stop motion fans were able to smile again. Here's hoping for more stop motion in the future. It's in danger of becoming a forgotten art form.
Possibly the best holiday movie ever! My wife and I have matching tattoos with the same spooky background. Hers is of Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and mine is Sparky from Frankenweenie. So maybe do a vid about Frankenweenie sometime?
This Movie had such an impact on me in my childhood when I saw it in theaters. I had memorize it line per line after just one watching, then retold it to my mother.
Let's not forget that Jack has beed immortalized ever since he (and Halloween Town) showed up in the always epic Kingdom Hearts franchise. Funny fact. As a kid, I walked out of this movie in theatre. Now, I love it! Lock, Shock, and Barrel take the cake for me.
@@jimmymelendez1836 It's something everyone can watch so they don't have time to yell &/or argue. It's a frickin Christmas movie sent straight from heaven. 🎄
Have you guys seen Danny's newest song "Happy"? It came out about a month ago, but it's got the feel of the '94 album Boingo... If you liked the song "Insanity" from that album, you'll love the new tune. It's the closest thing to new Boingo we'll ever get probably :)

9:00 u missed the thunder, sooooo....all together now: "prince humperdink! " awesome video! And thank 4 highlighting something other than the obvious, refreshing!
Hey Minty--if you haven't seen the Netflix series "The Christmas Movies That Made Us," they did an episode on Nightmare Before Christmas that you might love! I still watched yours tho because a Minty review always has that visible, full-on 'love' for the original that no other reviewer can match :)
Well, to be fair, to them it's easy money, a low risk venture. Not the most creative thing to do, but then again, the major studios aren't really in the business of being creative or making movies, they're in the business of making money and movies are just how they do it. So they do whatever they think will make them money, hence all of the remakes, sequels, and prequels. because they see them as low risk, high return ventures. Plus, Hollywood has always been copycats, if they see one studio do very well with a certain type of movie, then they all rush out to make a movie like that of their own.
@@Utubesanarc I never said that it was genius, just low risk with potential for (relatively) high reward. As I said in my original post, the major studios aren't in it for the art or love of movies and/or a given franchise, they're in it for the money. They couldn't care less about how well liked a remake/sequel/prequel is, just that it makes money.
It was unfortunate that Danny Elfman, in his final years in Oingo Boingo, wanted out. I suppose this movie gave him the perfect outlet for expressing his desires, and while I absolutely still adore Boingo, Nightmare wouldn't have been the same if he had written the lyrics with anything else in mind.
I couldn't stop looking at how your sunglasses were crooked whenever you were on screen. 🤣 Love the channel, and happy holidays to you and your family!
My favorite movie of all time. My family has a Nightmare Before Christmas/Covid 19 themed tree this year. 2020 sucks ass. Merry Christmas and Be safe everyone. 🕸☃️❄🎄
Yea. I got pix. Got Jack grandstanding the tree holding a bottle of lysol, wearing a unicorn mask and pink bunny slippers, and our black tree has gloves, masks, and toilet paper rolls.
@@SkellingtonFan Aww Thanks. I got my Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments on as well. My favorite is my Zero ornament. I lost 2 pittie dogs in the month of October, so they are my Zeros.
Love your "10 Things" videos. Most of the time when channels have "things you didn't know" about movies or music or whatever, most of the time you sit there thinking, "who didn't know that?"! LoL Most of the stuff you talk about is actually stuff that's new and/or interesting information, so.... Thanks!
I love this film it is for both Christmas and Halloween and also request if you don't mind I know you did home alone but could you do home alone 2 lost in New York?
I've always seen this movie as a Christmas movie. It starts the morning after Halloween, so it really has nothing to do with Halloween except for the fact that the residents of Halloween town are celebrating Christmas. I try to watch it every year on November 1st. It's a Christmas staple in my home!
I think it's a bit of false advertising say "Ten things you didn't know..." It's ten topics you didn't know, with hundreds of things inside. Keep it up mate, it's bloody brilliant.
"The Holiday Movies That Made Us". I watched the Elf episode. Haven't watched the NBC one yet. They're in the same vein as Netflix's "The Toys That Made Us" and "The Movies That Made Us" series.
Love this movie and what it every Christmas (not Halloween!). When it came out I was working at an elementary school and all the kids were singing the songs in delight! Great movie for kids and adults!
Best thing on UA-cam I've ever subscribed to Minty love your work mate. Can you do The Fog (1980), The Burning, Rosemary's Killer (aka The Prowler) or Close Encounters Of The Third Kind next please. Cheers mate 👍
Hey Minty, I agree, this movie is fine just the way it is and no follow ups! I forgot about Vincent Price! He was very popular in the 90’s. Didn’t he narrate Michael Jackson’s Thriller?! It would have been cool. And also it was interesting finding out how the whole thing came about, a poem. Who would have thought that??!! Enjoyed your video Mark! Hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas! ❤️💜💚
I was born in 1990 I was 5 when I seen this work of cinematic art and loved and continue to love everytime I see it classic Christmas and Halloween story
Movie Companies "Lets make a remake/sequel!"
Tim Burton "No."
Audience: *enteral love for Tim Burton*
Tim Burton made the right call to convinced Disney to not make a sequel.
@ac Ac I always though "The Corpse Bride" was the sequel, who knew
Fuckin A right he did. Disney is trash.
YES. Who wants a woke version of Nightmare Before Christmas?
Not stopping them to make a stupid live action "remake" however
@@joegahan7055
Hey, Aladdin 2019 was pretty good!
This movie is a work of art.
Absolutely♡
@@magicvampirelver1321 It really is. Corpse Bride too.
And the sky is blue. Duh
The best film i ever seen is this
Absolutely. One of the most beautiful movies that I have ever seen.
“You’re too weird Tim, call us when you can offer us something we can bank on...like turning your weirdness into merchandise”
The use of stop motion and puppetry is why this movie holds up so well visually after all these years.
Minty, you're absolutely right about giving Jack Skellington eyes. That's a visual out of my nightmares.
Absolutely, Jack Skellington with eyes? Sure I'll take that..... WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!!!
I watched almost every night with my oldest son when he was 4 years old. I once was able to say every word, sing every song! Best part was being with my baby boy.
Batman Returns is my all time favorite Batman solely because we got the best Catwoman since the 60s.
I'm amazed you didn't mention Chris Sarandon's role as Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride.
This is inconceivable

I was 16 when this was first shown in theaters. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Can I just say that this movie to this very day still looks absolutely beautiful and the music is still so freaking good
I LOVE how Disney has come to embrace Nightmare. As Minty notes, they were too afraid to call it a Disney Film and made it Touchstone. But now its PROUDLY called a Disney Film. And Jack Skellington, Sally and Oogie can be seen in the parks. And the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland has a Nightmare overlay for the Holidays. SO MUCH FUN!
When I got to “Disney panicked over the lack of Jack Skellington’s eyes”, I thought, “They know he’s a skeleton, right? They just got to know.”
It is kinda creepy looking, but people do know skeletons don't just have black holes in the face right?
🤣🤣🤣💜
30 year later, coco's a thing, and the skeletons look ugly as sin
burton took the future proof W on that one
I remember hearing about how Tim Burton was inspired by seeing the Halloween and Christmas decorations side by side on November 1st.
100% correct 😁👍
Really?! I think of this movie whenever I see the Halloween and Christmas decorations simultaneously!
I think he even says that outright in one of the special features on the DVD. 💀
Hmm I'm very disturbed by this fact too! Now they put up christmas before Halloween is even over! And then totally skipping over Thanksgiveing! So yeah i could see that reasoning! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
😍💖
This movie could be a Thanksgiving movie. Thanksgiving is between Halloween and Christmas and the gist of the film is Jack learning to be thankful for who he is.
Love love love this movie and it's timeless!
Just watched this on the weekend with my 6 year old who loves this film!
A movie that crosses both thresholds; Halloween and Christmas.
Jack with eyes would be terrifying.
My thoughts exactly. 👀
Right?!
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all-time favorite movies. I love it, my parents love it, my dad's cousin loves it, WE ALL LOVE IT! One reason I love it is that it combines two of my favorite holidays: Halloween and Christmas.

Who else loves “Sally’s Song”? What an incredible soundtrack and film. Danny Eldman is a genius!
I always thought a prequel would have been cool. That way we could see Jack in his prime for Halloween! Maybe even his first Halloween. Just as long as it has all the same actors and was stop motion.
It's funny how Disney said the nightmare before Christmas was too weird. But they had black cauldron, Fantasia, Alice in Wonderland.
Exactly. Disney has a history of dark movies
@@andrewgrove1691 yupp. But, if anything it was a mild movie compared to the other movies. Disney is just all types of fucked up and WTF moments.
Anything that could threaten their "perfect streak of success" isn't well accepted until they know for sure it will be marketable.
@@bentramer682 so we stop seeing the remakes.
And "Return to Oz".
What I like about this movie is that it's both a Halloween and Christmas movie! And you can enjoy it on both holidays!
That's one of the reasons why I love it so much. It's a combination of my two favorite holidays.
@tylerjohnson6557 same here! I love the darkness of halloween, and the joy of Christmas!
I love fighting with Jack in the Kingdom Heart games being in Halloweentown and his keyblade you would get from Halloweentown was one of my favorites
As a kid, who grew up on Ray Harryhausen movies and would animate my GI Joes (the original 12 inch guys) with my grandfathers 8mm camera, I wasted no time seeing this film when it hit theaters. Along with Wallace and Gromit and the Laika Studio movies, stop motion fans were able to smile again. Here's hoping for more stop motion in the future.
It's in danger of becoming a forgotten art form.
12:35 LOL that Nightmare Before Christmas Game looks like Jack went into the God of War Franchise
Possibly the best holiday movie ever! My wife and I have matching tattoos with the same spooky background. Hers is of Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and mine is Sparky from Frankenweenie.
So maybe do a vid about Frankenweenie sometime?
Holy shit Jack Skellington with eyeballs is just Sir Daniel from MediEvil.
I thought the same thing!
Thank God they decided not to give Jack eyes.
Or like all the dead in Coco.
Haha damn, good call! It's uncanny, that look almost exactly the same. 😂
Halloween movie or Christmas movie? It's both, and that's the genius of it.
This Movie had such an impact on me in my childhood when I saw it in theaters. I had memorize it line per line after just one watching, then retold it to my mother.
Let's not forget that Jack has beed immortalized ever since he (and Halloween Town) showed up in the always epic Kingdom Hearts franchise.
Funny fact. As a kid, I walked out of this movie in theatre. Now, I love it! Lock, Shock, and Barrel take the cake for me.
There are few who deny that what you do you are the best, for your talents are renowned far and wide!
When it comes to surprises
On a moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying!

So we need to add Edward Scissorhands to the "is it a Christmas movie" list alongside Die Hard.
Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

One of my absolute favorite movies. Love it.
I was just binging Oingo Boingo videos not two seconds ago. How’s that for serendipity?
"Well well
What have we here.
Santey Claus, huh?
Ooooh I'm really scared."
I was just listening to "Just Another Day" when this popped up. I know right?
You should buy a lotto ticket today.
Have you guys seen Danny's newest song "Happy"? It came out about a month ago, but it's got the feel of the '94 album Boingo... If you liked the song "Insanity" from that album, you'll love the new tune.
It's the closest thing to new Boingo we'll ever get probably :)

Perfect episode, sir! Cheers from the states.
This was otherworldly viewing in the theatre. On top of not knowing what to expect story-wise, the cinematography was just alien on that scale.
Childhood classic cos this movie bloody changed me
Bc of this movie I always invasion jack going into the other holidays doors. Lol.
Awesome video Minty just wondering if you could do a video on things you didnt know about The Indian In The Cupboard love your content buddy
Now that's a movie that I haven't thought of in a LONG time. Wow, that takes me back.
Another great video! Big fan of your channel! Keep up the great work and have a great Christmas! 😎🎄
It's one of the best claymations ever made.
I love this film not only is it one of my fave xmas movies but also my fave halloween movie
Love this movie. Will you also be doing "10 things you didn't know about Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" The jim carrey version?
This December, I would love if he did both the original animated version, and the live action Jim Carrey version.
I’m still waiting for DreamWorks to make a sequel for rise of the guardians and Nightmare before Christmas is to be left alone
The sight of that dude in the photo staring all WTF at Tim made me laugh so hard.
Disney (and Hollywood in general): "This is a movie everyone loves, let's remake it!"

One of the best movies ever. My girlfriend and I went to the drive in every weekend to see it when it first came out.
I personally prefer watching A Nightmare Before Christmas in the month of October than December.
answer: watch it in November.
Why not both?
The*
Watch it once in October, another in November, and one more time in December. Problem solved.
It feels more halloweeny!
I remember seeing this in the theatre when it was released. Some young children had to leave because they were too scared...lol
I still remember the first time I saw this, first best day of my life 😁
Lucky you. I first saw it on tv.
I saw this when i was like 3 or 4 in theaters and loved it ever since. Some kids are just lame lol

This and Dutch (1991) are perfect Thanksgiving season films.
Hopefully you can do The Corpse Bride next!
I never going to get tire of this movie every time that's is on tv i watch it and is one of my favorites👍
I love Burton's weird ass movies💞💞💞
Try Kingdom Hearts it's a cross over between Disney and Final Fantasy it features Jack skellington and characters like Sephiroth
I played it and that was my favorite part, I didn't want to leave Halloween town.

We watch this movie every year at Christmas, has turned into a family tradition.
Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
