You forgot about the 1982 short film Vincent by Tim Burton Where there's a scene where we see Monsters Circling Vincent you can see in the Very very Top Left Corner we see Jack in a VERY VERY VERY early Concept Idea for him just thought I would let you know Your Welcome :)
Where did you get that puppet because I wanna get one like it
@@avocadoqueen4503 right
@@thetobytylergamingchannel6625 It's pretty about a Tim Burton short film about Vincent.
It looks very scary about this short.
@@thetobytylergamingchannel6625 It barely even looks like Jack
That life-size Jack puppet from the fireworks show further convinces me that Nightmare Before Christmas could work as a Broadway show, with puppets instead of awkwardly-costumed actors, Lion King-style. What a cool puppet. Great video Dan!
Ooooooo that sounds amazing! I'd totally pay to see a Nightmare Before Christmas Broadway production
Dude, i would love that.
True. Heck, Disney currently has a new version of Winnie the Pooh in New Yorkdone in an incredibly similar way to shows like Finding Nemo, but with slightly larger scale puppets that look incredibly similar to the Christopher Robin versions.
YEEEES! I'd love that
The costumes of the Lion King reminded me of the Nightmare Before Christmas more than they did Lion King. I think there was a Nightmare Before Christmas broadway show once...or at least a stage version of it.
My family spent 3 hours in the frigid cold at Disney Paris to meet Jack because my mom really wanted to. It was well worth it
every time dan makes himself laugh, a year is added onto my life
Blessings.
You are practically immortal 😆
I agreee
So true…..
@@kristenamendola5922TRUE
The first time I met Jack, as well as Sally, was on the inaugural Bermuda cruise of on the Disney Magic, I met him after their first Nightmare Before Christmas sing along and was surprised by Jack and Sally popping out of the stage at the end and outside the theater they held a little meet and greet. So I met them and he asked what I was gonna dress up as, now I brought a shark onesie from the year before and my mom made a little sign that said fish are friends not food, but I just said I was gonna be a shark. And then the night afterwards which was the costume night they did the sing along again, which I didn’t attend again, and got in line to meet him and Sally again. As I walked up to him he said this, “You’re a shark, just like you said!” That one sentence made my entire cruise, true Disney and Halloween magic.
lol cute
awww
AAAAAw
@@FormalFilmsProductions Zero is so lovely!
Did you at least use the sign
Fun Fact: Japan LOOOOOOVES Nightmare Before Christmas, *that's* why it was featured in Kingdom Hearts. Disney didn't mandate they put that property in the game, it was all Nomura who wanted it.
Jack & Sally are definitely two of the characters I'd love to meet the most at the parks, he always seems so eccentric and fun and Sally seems so sweet and timid, at least in the videos I've seen.
We usually go to Disney World for the Very Merry Christmas Party and we got to meet them once. They were awesome. Definitely some of my favorite pictures.
I've only gotten to meet them once, I think in 2014 or so, and they were a ton of fun, they loved my skull-print scarf and the guy playing Jack sounded JUST like the movie
0:45 "Jack Skellington is the Mickey Mouse to Tim's Burton's Walt Disney"
And Henry Selick is the Ub Iwerks.
Tim burton came up with the plot and that’s about it. Should be called Henry Selick’s The Nightmare before Christmas
@@poppinfresh5261 Just like how Walt came up with character of Mickey, and wrote most the shorts, while Ub directed and did most of the animating.
Dan’s puppeteering of Jack was actually REALLY good!
Starting to feel like Dan might be having TOO much fun making these, but that's not a bad thing. So many yters try to be calm and composed and Dan's over here like "I GOT A JACK PUPPET"
I want a Jack puppet. I have no need for it, but I want it.
You put into words on why I like Dan!
@@idunnobutyay2520 same
@@SupaidaFan Hypothetically, I’d use it for Halloween/Día de Muertos in my classroom (I want to be a teacher)
fun fact, Jack actually debuted as a costumed character in 2001 at the premiere event for the opening of Haunted mansion Holiday, along with Sally and even characters exclusive to the event that have yet to be seen again like Behemoth, the witches and even the clown (who could ACTUALLY TAKE HIS FACE OFF).
I think Dan would get a kick out of watching the 2003 Haunted Mansion Holiday event where all the characters from the movie sing broadway songs...
Well magnets are always fun
may i also add that (as far as i know) dr finklestien, the mayor, lock, shock, and barrel were featured in the 2003 event and then never seen again (i really wished the brought the mayor costume back it even has the spinning 2 faced head)
@@dapperloser3025 i wish they'd have him back as well. i can understand the other ones not being brought out (they look a little tacky compared to Disney's usually very fine detailed costuming, not to mention they'd probably terrify children)
@@dapperloser3025 that is so cool! I never knew that! I soooo wish they would have meet and greets with the other nightmare before Christmas characters. Sure, they are quite scary for the younger audience. But…I don’t think it would be that difficult to revise the costumes for the parks to make them more friendly for all ages. Have those characters plus the hitchhiking ghosts, Constance, and the caretaker.
One can dream!🤗
I really wish the Mayor of Halloweentown would be made into a meet and greet character, I mean imagine what could be used to do the two faces.
I was reading somewhere in the comments that they did have a short lived meet and greet mayor character for a 2003 special event…I love the mayor. He’s the best!
Making Jack a face character I think was the best route to take. While it’s very tough to make his appearance believable, his personality and charisma really makes you forget about his weird head. If he was just an silent, unmoving face with overly dramatic arm and leg movements, that would have been freaky af.
Jack also made a “cameo” in Coraline! He is the egg yolk from the egg the mom breaks! I guess it’s more of a “hidden Mickey” in a way.
I love how the red ariel wig is still on the country bear
Just recently the Jack Puppet from 2019 was used in the Danny Elfman Nightmare Before Christmas concert on October 29th and 30th 2021.
There’s also a full walkthrough ride in Disney China.
Jack can also be briefly seen in Burton’s first short, Vincent (near the end when Vincent’s creations are falling on him).
I knew a friend of Jack Skellington and they really moved like Jack irl, dramatic hand movements and everything. Perfect casting.
Huh
That’s amazing! Bravo to Disneyland casting! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A Jack Skellington deep dive is perfect to kick off Halloween weekend! I would love a deep dive of the Glow in the Dark parade. I’m always amazed at how next level the Asian parks get with the characters we know and love.
After seeing that Jack puppet in the background of Foolish Mortals, I thought it was a doll. I finally found out that it was (in fact) a puppet.
Danny Elfmans voice and music style from Boingo is what truly made all of it work.
If you love this movie, but not Oingo Boingo then somethins wrong.
They must bring The Nightmare Before Christmas to Broadway! I saw a video excerpt of a musical version of it and it was so good!
I am being Sandy Claws Jack Skellington on stilts for Halloween. Costume took weeks to make, but it’s perfect. Hopefully I don’t fall on the stilts around town haha
edit: it went really well, i probably had 200+ people ask for photos. was a really great night! made a lot of people smile
Cool
That's so fucking awesome
I love Jack interactions at the parks. He and sally were at the mansion just about to head back for break, and Sally and I had the same color hair then, Jack asked where I got mine and it must have been from the same graveyard 🤣
Ever since I saw this movie in theaters, I always wondered: is jack wearing a white buttoned shirt underneath the black jacket or is that just a cleavage? Anyway, perfect timing dan. I really appreciate your existence and happy halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 :)
It's a white shirt :)
@@galaxyskeleton Nice :)
@Rocko hi
This is the same question I've always had and I've seen the movie a lot. I always assumed he just wore his suit open chested but I started thinking it might be a white shirt. But there's no collar on the shirt if it is a shirt? This is the biggest question I have about the movie
@@vee8080 it’s a shirt! you can see jack give zero one of his ribs to play fetch with towards the beginning fo the movie when they’re in the forest that leads to the holiday doors. he reaches under his suit jacket and shirt to get it.
First of all: Yeah, I always find it weird how the costumed character is categorized as a villain. I'd wager he's far less evil than Darth Vader or Maleficent, the two people who have attempted child slaughter. The dude wasn't even the one who threatened to EAT Santa Claus!
Second: People fell in love with TWO things? Does the soundtrack not count anymore, Dan? Heck, you didn't even make ONE Hot Topic joke, sir!
Third: Tupperware Scar, Vader Bulge, and Spooky Goofy. Have I mentioned how much I love this videos? DRINK JACK'S BLOOD!
Fourth: I know it's early to think about this, but is there any possibility you could do a Grinch video for the upcoming Holiday season? Quality control on how the Grinch looks at Universal is insane and I bet you could have a fun time ripping some of the weirder looking costumes a new one.
I definitely want to see a Grinch video!
I kind of get Jack being lumped in with the villains. If I was writing the show, I’d say Jack was hosting a Halloween party & invited all the Disney villains because he heard they were the scariest guys around. The party goes well as each guest gets their own segment to do their thing, but when Maleficent shows up she rallies the others into conquering the Magic Kingdom. Jack’s all “WTF, this is supposed to be FUN scary, not legit evil,” the villains kick him out of his own party, he sings a variation of his Lament song from when his sleigh got blown up, regains his confidence, and goes back to the villains to stop their evil plans & save Halloween.
@@the-inatorinator You liked to see the grinch during Christmas.
The mask for meet and greet gives me
"Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me" vibes lol
Having seen it in person as part of Jack’s cavalcade at Boo Bash a few weeks back, I’m still not a fan of the walk around version of Jack. I’d hoped pictures and videos didn’t do it justice, but nah, it’s just terrible. Grey man alien is a good description 👽.
Also, that buff Jack cup is clearly because Disney sent Jack over to Universal to learn from their Horror Nights scareactors. First thing they teach you: you scare with your core, Dan. You scare with your core.
That weird sequel to the original movie video game actually IS good, it's also effectively a baby's first Devil May Cry, considering it uses a lot of the same basic gameplay systems and was also made by Capcom. It's nothing like.. outstanding or anything, but a lot better than most would give it credit for
The Jack puppet made an appearance at Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas Live Concert in LA on Friday night. He co-hosted with Danny Elfman and I imagine he’ll be back for the second show tonight. So happy he’s not in storage, because he’s amazing!
Not only is Jack Skeleton a goth icon, but he's also the start of Tim Burton's obsession with having his protagonists be lanky pale dudes played by Johnny Depp.
But he's played by Chris Sarandon
@@Protomorfid That's why he's just the start
didnt edward scissorhands start that though?
@@orcasplayhouse yes
Nawh that's Scissorhands, Burton did so little on this film it's almost a fucking joke that his name is in the title.
Met Jack at Disneyland Paris recently. All I can say is that it was very odd with him being a talking face character. I kinda wish that he wasn’t able to talk because he didn’t sound like Jack or say things that Jack would say. He just kept saying that everything was terrible. Glad we only waited 10 mins to meet him.
Odd universals megatron is better it seems... he actually interacts and plays on the audience like you're supposed to. If your jack you PLAY on the audience....you interact and be that swave gentleman
Jack Skellington is one of my favorite Disney characters, I always looked forward to going to Halloween Town in Kingdom Hearts
That enormous puppet was used last night at the Banc of California Stadium for The Nightmare Before Christmas Live-To-Film Concert Experience. I was there last night and saw it!
Oh I think we need a full review on the glow in the park parade. This is something I never knew I needed before today!
Actually, it's one puppeteer with the 2019 Jack. They used the same exact thing for the Muppets with the Bossmen. ua-cam.com/video/_RKQI5P7GAU/v-deo.html The rods controlling the arms usually have a mechanisim in them so the mouth and head can move, and the feet/legs are connected to a special footwear on the puppeteer's feet. Also, wasn't there's a Jack that was a guy on stilts? I just remember a fan screaming at him, and then Jack just releasing this high pitch scream in response.
Edit: Actually, you're right, I can see a second guy. Just ignore my muppet nerd out Dan. ;_;
The jack puppet was used this past weekend in Los Angeles at the Nightmare before Christmas Concert! I thought they made it specially for the concert and then came to this video to find its a few years old! It was amazing in person.
Here Comes The Pumpkin King thanks Disney Dan! Jack Skellington is one of my Favorite Halloween characters 👻👻🎃🎃
Of course you have to deep dive in the Glow in the dark parade!
Jack Skellington is scary awesome! I haven't met the Pumpkin King himself or his Spooktastically lovely Queen of Halloween Screams, Sally, yet at Disney World, but I would love to.
Lol the Kitetails shade😂
Also that Jack Skellington puppet looks amazing
I was so happy when I learnt Jack Skellington was added in Disneyland Paris 😁 best part of my trip was seeing him outside the phantom manor
Now all they need to bring along with him is the Haunted Holiday Mansion takeover 😁
The jack puppet looks amazing
I'm not a lover of Nightmare Before Christmas but the Jack puppet for the fireworks looks *be-a-utiful*!
The puppet was so good that they literally used it for the live concert this year.
theres nothing i would love more than to go a front row performance of disney on ice with dan. it would be the most fun night ever.
We not gonna talk about how PERFECT of a jack impersonation down to the mannerisms that was in the opening
With Dan mentioning the lines on Jack's suit, it makes me want to see a comparison between this design and a design with the stripes horizontal. I want to see how much on an impact these vertical stripes have on jacks arms and legs.
Seeing Santa at the mall being happy, seeing Santa jack at Disney world:”honey get your shotgun!”
I've only met Jack and Sally in the parks once but it was one of my all-time favorite meet and greets, and while the mask may look strange I'm glad park Jack can talk because his banter is always so good, I love watching videos of people meeting him
In 2019 I saw that puppet of Jack Skelington and I had no idea how they did it but this video has shown me how it was worked ( seeing him live shows way more less of the puppeteers and more of Jack because he is all you want to look at
You know what would be cool? If they kept notes from the Jack puppet in 2019, and made an interactive meet and greet somewhere in the park during Halloween! Someplace indoors, like the Princess Fairytale Meet & Greet or Main Street Town Hall; guests could journey through the Halloween Town forest, and as they turn a corner, he's just hanging out in front of the curled hill, and the performer could have a microphone to talk to visitors! They could even dress him up with a special "Sandy Claws" outfit during Christmastime!
Jack also made an extremely brief and blink and you’ll miss it cameo as an egg yolk from the 2009 stop motion film Coraline.
I love you puppeteering Jack skellington! It was so perfect! I could watch that all day!
I'm in my second year of studying animation and we are doing Stop Motion shorts this year! Very exciting stuff, I think creating the puppets was the hardest thing to achieve haha-
I love skeleton characters and naturally Jack is high on that list~
Where do you study animation?
@@kmckissick4642 SAE Institute, it's an internationally based University and there is one based in my town in South Africa 💖
Wow! My dream is to study animation. Any tips?
@@britneybritney Never be afraid to use reference and it always helps to film yourself when you're trying to animate a convincing performance and plan out the various key poses. Also never be afraid to ask your lecturers for feedback because they will show you issues in your work that you wouldn't have picked up otherwise. Most of the fundamentals will be taught to your in your classes from figure studies to drawing from life which are a necessity. Don't forget to enjoy the experience, it may get stressful at times but you're doing something you love and it makes it all worth it ♡♡♡
When you mentioned Doug Jones I litterley screamed and got so so happy that my parents looked at each as in "wth" I'm so happy that you mentioned him!😭😭😭😭thr started crying😭😭😭
I have several friends who skated in Disney on ice, and I’m just waiting for the day I see one of them in your videos. Hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
My absolute favorite thing about this movie is how cool all the characters look. Like you said, it’s claymation. It’s so well detailed, beautiful characters, and the story is great. Plus Zero is such a cute dog😂
I have that folkmanis jack puppet and it is FANTASTIC definitely my favorite puppet I own.
Love this evolution
Thank you to Jack for co hosting!
Yes! My favorite character of all time and a character evolution video! I'm so happy you did this! I had no idea he was attached to Beetlejuice's hat either! Nightmare Before Christmas has been my obsession ever since I saw it for the first time. Still wanna get my first tattoo of the Haunted Mansion Holiday crossover since it's my two favorite things combined!!! 💀💜
Congrats on the subscriber milestone too Dan!! 🥳
The most recent puppet for real looks like its straight out of the movie itself. They would be INSANE to not ever bring that back. WE NEED IT
I rewatched James and the Giant Peach last night and I was so excited to see Jack! I knew he was in it but I completely forgot!
Love the 2019 Puppet and yours as well! All of your puppets are spectacular my friend!
14:32 This absolute madlad is recording the performance with his 3DS. What a legend.
Dan is like the Dad of UA-cam, he be out here making the jokes and giving us the gift of his glorious laugh.
Deep dive into the Glow in the Dark Parade would be awesome!!
You rock Dan! You have been so inspiring to me and my love for Disney, costumes, and all things Jim Henson. I’ve been interested in puppetry and costume design my whole life but I grew up to think I am not enough being myself. Thank you for showing me people will support you when you think you are enough! Keep creating and you rock!
The pose at the end with jack killed me
I ADORE THIS SO MUCH!! I love the huge Jack on the Pumpkin in Hong Kong! Also, the overlay is fantastic! My best friend loves Jack and her now fiancé proposed to her using a ring box in a shape of a coffin and a NBC quote!
The pure joy you are able to emulate from just talking about Disney lights a spark in my heart 💜
The last time I was this early we could get autographs from the characters in the parks
9:50 actually that costume was made back in 2001 for the press event of the first haunted mansion holiday, interestingly enough there were FOUR of these events from 2001-04 (and I highly recommend looking up the 2003 one here on UA-cam, that is some fine cheese that must be treasured)
I love Jack Skellington!!! Do Glow in the Park parade that you’ve mentioned! And do an evolution of Casper the Friendly Ghost!
4:32 (Teddy Long voice) “Jack Skellington, for ruining Christmas for all the boys and girls, tonight…you will go one on one….with…DA UNDATAKA!!!”
That 2019 puppet Jack is going to live in my head forever now...I don't wanna talk about anything else but that for the next 10 months
this was cool! Jack Skelington is one of my favs! I'd love to hear more about that halloween parade you mentioned with that awesome puppet of Jack!
Can you do an evolution on the big bad wolf please? I would love to see some more Distory costume evolutions
During one Halloween fireworks show at Disneyland they had a floating Jack Skellington head where Tinkerbell usually is. It was amazing.
0:13A legend was born JACK SKELETON
Perfect for spooky season
I would LOVE for a Glow in the Park video!!! More parade videos always!!!
Also not to skip Halloween but since we are kind of talking about Christmas are you doing Charityland over at Defunctland this year??
HEY DAN!!!!! I went to The Not So Scary Halloween Party a couple days ago and THEY BROUGHT BACK THE JACK SKELLINGTON PUPPET TO HOST THE EVENT!!!!! It was so cool to watch!!! I fricken love The Nightmare Before Christmas and Tim Burton. The puppet was even better to see in real life ❤❤❤
Edit: I recorded the whole thing and I could here how excited I was when I saw Jack 😂 I was literally jumping up and down lol
I'm gonna say the Jack puppet is amazing it looks so real and I'm very impressed
Perfect because my boyfriend and I are being Jack and Sally from the nightmare before Christmas
You’d think they could make a better looking meet and greet character design then that lol
My favorite series on UA-cam!!!!
I have NEVER seen Dan with this much energy. Great vid, dude!
You wouldn't think there'd be that much evolution in such a short time lol.
Omg FINALLY I’ve wanted Dan to do this for ages
I actually really like the puppet gimmicks. Dont you have a figement one? Absolutely use it more often
Oogie’s revenge was good though… why you hating on it and then say “I never played it”? It was a lot of fun to play.
Edit: and also Cruella was really good. Everyone that I know loved it.
For the costume they should’ve just made the head a puppet mechanism where the mouth just flaps up and down while keeping the shape of the head from the film. Alien Jack just looks like cosplay that came out a bit wrong, and considering what Disney has done with costumes like Mickey Mouse just making a mechanism that moves a mouth up and down shouldn’t be too hard
Wow. I genuinely think you could do a very good Jack Skellington impression... if you did a serious one. Lol. Great video!
I legit screamed out loud when you mentioned Oogies revenge!!! That game was my brother and mine childhood!!! The PS2, we played this game religiously! I remember my brother was so scared to face oogie boogie that he would throw me the controller to beat the level 😂😂😂😂 brought back so many memories! I was hoping you would mention the game!!
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I don’t think Disney knew how big nightmare before Christmas would become like there is a heavy heavy strong cult around this one movie
Favorite Nitemare before Christmas is zero. So cute character design
I'm actually going to be him for this year, although it mostly consists of me and a walmart kigu..i still love it!
yes !!! dan please cover glow in the park parade,halloween is my fave!
Make an Evolution of Hades please!
