"Lets be honest, Jack is a bit dramatic" has to be the undertstatement of the century.
I love the guy, but he is a Drama _Queen_
This is the definition of a passion project. It took over two years of pre-production and over two years to film, cranking out about one minute of footage per week. Tim Burton wrote a poem that this film is based off, and he was in charge of design and artistic vision. Tim Burton is one of the most brilliant men of our time, his style is so strange and beautiful.
Ah that's so neat Tim Burton writes poetry too! And I agree, his style stands out and is easily recognizable, and I really love that about his films... so happy that this movie was a success for him
@@nickreacts6394 this film was a huge success Wich is funny because at first Disney didn't want to make this film, but after Tim had major success with Batman Disney finally realized his genus.
Didn't Tim Burton come up with the idea after seeing a bunch of Christmas and Halloween stuff next to eachother in a store somewhere?
@@matthewkalasky2891 yep!
"Tim Burton is one of the most brilliant men of our time, his style is so strange and beautiful."
Even though 99% of this movie is actually the work of Henry Sellick
To clarify
Burton created the story, the character designs and the look of halloween and christmas town, and wrote part of the lyrics together with danny elfman, but was top busy with batman returns to direct it, so selick, who was a friend of burton and had a similar visual taste, was chosen to direct the movie
There's easter eggs of his movies in this one
Wasn’t it originally based off of a poem or something too?
@@itsjustmaddisen yep, written by Burton
@@michelerusso9745 I thought so, just wanted to make sure lol. I’m sure I’ve heard it too.
Guess thats why the movie is underwhelming.
I was working in a movie theater when this movie first came out and we decorated our lobby for it, spider webs all over we made a graveyard in the lobby with real dirt and I made the Christmas tree doorway out of cardboard and made a cardboard body of Jack wrapped it in black cloth and a white plastic bag for his head and i took a wire coat hanger and stretched white cloth acrossed it to make Zero and had them crawling out of the Christmas tree door, our lobby looked pretty cool. Great movie.
that must have been quite the sight! it's so strange to me how originally this movie kinda flopped
@@jolliwoodstudios uh no, back in 1993 it's opening weekend gross at the box office was 50 million which was good for an animated movie and Demolition Man did 58 million for it's opening weekend that same year I think it did pretty good.
@@Anthonylokison what i meant is that it originally pretty much came and went without much fanfare, until the early 2000s where it had a massive surge in popularity
This was my daughter's favourite film when she was 3-4 years old. Only she called it Halloween, which gave us some funny looks at the playground.
My son always called it the Halloween, Christmas movie. It somehow took ne forever to know what he was talking about. One day after wracking my brain, told him that there aren't any Halloween/Christmas movies, but then immediately figured it out as quickly as I said that.
My daughter called it the Jack skeleton movie.
Yeah, same when this film came out my parents bought me this film at 3 years old. They also had previously watched other Burton films before I was born,and from that day forward his films were staples in our home. They still have the original VHS copy of the film, the one I received as finding the pickle prize in the Christmas tree that year (1993).
You said this was made by Henry Selick and my immediate reaction was “Coraline!”
"He's just a theater kid" YUP THAT'S IT!!!! THAT'S JACK!
This my sister's favorite movie!
And it's one of mine, too!
It was all done by stop motion animation, took 2 years to make the film happen.
It was a box office and critical success, making $95 million dollars against a $13 million dollar budget.
It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to JURASSIC PARK.
I mean, it doesn't get much tougher competition than Jurassic Park.... but I love the dedication to the craft and it's awesome that it paid off!
The guy who sang for Jack was the also the lead singer in Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman.
I would do some research into the production of this movie, it’s truly a labor of love. I saw this movie as a child and was obsessed with it, I still have family members who send me NB4C stuff every christmas. Which is fair because I still love it.
Chris Sarandon was The Speaking voice of Jack Skellington, and Danny Elfman The Composer was The Singing voice of Jack Skellington. Paul Reubens was Lock, and Catherine O'Hara was Sally. It's Based on a Story and Characters Created By Tim Burton. Henry Selick The Same Guy that Directed Coraline, Directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. But Tim Burton Helped with The Writing and Producing. That's why it's called Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
@@Kaijufan360 Thanks I do my Research.
They say that the most difficult moment to film in this movie was the one with Jack's reflection in the doorknob. No wonder...
Why doesn't Finklestein keep Igor around to be making his soup?
20:03 in Jacks defense, that brother and sister who got the Scary Mickey toy and Zombie Duck seemed to like them at first until they came to life to 'play' so maybe it could've worked out.
Also 'The Walt Vault' had asked this question on their podcast: Who ruined Christmas more? Jack Skellington or the Grinch?
The mayor is a two-faced politician.
Oh man, this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I watched it so many times I wore out the VHS tape. 😂
Tim Burton wrote the original short story / poem that the film is based on, designed the characters, and he's the producer. Also he told Danny Elfman the story piece by piece before there was a script so the songs were ready before there was a dialogue script.
I've always loved the imagery of Jack being draped in tattered reds being held by an angel, almost as if he is being brought back to life. I like to think he is being reborn in the sense that he has refound himself.
It truly is a fantastic image.
if you’re into the music, they did an 15th anniversary album called A Nightmare Revisited, which has songs covered by different artists. it’s really fun.
and the evil scientist is dr. finkelstein.
when they filmed they had over 200 sets, and jack had more than 400 heads.
the movie originated as a parody poem written by tim burton (which he based off an actual christmas poem, “a visit from st. nicholas” aka “the night before christmas”), and originally had sir patrick stewart reciting it in the intro.
I remember getting this movie on vhs for my 6th birthday as a kid! My mom and me would watch it every Halloween and Christmas. So now, I carry the tradition with my daughter. lol She will sing "This is Halloween", or "Making Christmas" while running through the house, or in the bath. XD
This movie was my childhood! I still watch it every yr with my kids and it's still my favorite 😊 so happy you are watching it! Also how they made this movie and the time it took is amazing, if u ever get the chance to check out how it was made I highly recommend it's so interesting
Love your aura man! I can tell you're a kind guy, keep being you ❤️
Thank you!!
You're nuts. He's a monster. Probably watches Buffy to avoid suspicion.
@@tornadochaser2457 proof? Oh you have none lol conspiracy theory is false and dangerous...do better.
The haunted mansion in Disneyland does a nightmare before Christmas overlay every year for Halloween-Christmas. It’s amazing
3:05 Disneyland actually does a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay of Haunted Mansion every Halloween/Christmas season
Really? Seems kinda pointless and a waste of time and money. Since when does anyone go to a theme park in December or October? I live in Colorado and the only real theme park in Denver is only open in June, July, and August.
My local cinema shows this movie every year the day before christmas
Funny story, as a kid, I was terrified of this movie. Eleven years later, it's in my top 10 favorite movies. Hasn't been dethroned since high school.
0:48 Tim burton wrote the story and was the animator. He even made all the clay figures himself
I'm not gonna lie this movie always creeped me out (like a lot haha), it's still one of my favorite movies to watch when its dark and cold out. I mean it truly is a comfort movie, the characters, the songs, the atmosphere it's understandable why it was so popular
Really the only way to describe the style of this movie is Burtonesque. He has his own unique look and feel. The mind of this man must be an interesting place to spend time.
My #1 all time favorite movie ever… I absolutely adore Tim Burton 🖤🫶🏻🤍
I saw this film for the first time when I was a toddler and I was fascinated by it. I always had a fascination with claymation and how much effort is put into it. Claymation is such a gorgeous work of art.
On Netflix they have a series called the movies that made us and they have a whole episode on this movie.
Favorite film
The style is unmatched!
This is my 3 year old son’s favorite movie. We’ve gone to the 4D showing of the movie at the El Capitan theater. So much fun!
0:45 tim burton composed the original poem (yes it was a poem first). he had very little to do with the production itself but he wrote the source material
If you look close Zero's nose is a tiny jack-o-lantern. 🎃
Sally's song one of my favorite scenes. Also had a cover done by Amy Lee, absolutely amazing.
How have I missed so many reactions lately?! I am about to watch all your Tim Burton reactions and not just because I have absolutely loved his style since I was a little kid. You just always have interesting things to say and I love that you're watching so many different genres of movies and shows. Keep doing what you're doing! Much love ❤
Aw, that's so sweet thank you! I just added a Tim Burton playlist, and you can always turn on notifications if you need a reminder when I post videos :)
I have now turned them on! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
This movie really has my heart. And I love how Danny Elfman got to shine
I loved this movie when I was younger. I showered it to my son when he was young. He wasn't scared but he did cry when they kidnapped Santa. I had to calm he down and told him that it would work out in the end.
Brought to you by Disney in this animated stop-motion animated film written by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick starring Christopher Sarandon as the speaking voice of Jack Skelington whereas Danny Elfman who composed this was also the singing voice. Also featuring Catharine O'hara as Sally and Ken Page as the villain Oogie Boogie Man and Santa Claus. This is about a leader of Halloween Town and gets bored and wants to be something else. Enter Christmas Town and Jack loves it so much that he wants to emulate the festive holiday
Fav movie
When Sally was picking the flower petals off the flower a thistle it turns into a Christmas tree that catches on fire its foreshadowing that it’s going to go wrong
Billie Eilish performed this song live in concert once
God, I love Tim Burton. He's partially why I'm aspiring to get into making cartoons.
As for the whole Burton/Selick situation, Burton had the original idea and wrote the original story the movie is based on. While Burton wanted to direct it, he had his hands full with Batman Returns at the time, so he entrusted Henry Selick to direct for him.
Tim Burton wrote the poem it is based on.
When this movie first came out, my mom took me to see it in theaters. I was only about five at the time, so my mom was a little worried it might be too much even though it was claymation and seemed like it would be kid-friendly from the trailers. I remember her leaning over to tell me in the seats, saying, "If this gets too scary for you, tell me and we'll leave okay?" and kept reminding me of it, even during the movie. I remember telling her it wasn't scary for me at all, but I don't actually know if I just said that to sound ~cool~ and ~mature~ or if I really felt that way, but we did watch it every year on VHS after as a tradition!
I’m so excited you did this this is one of my favorite Disney films
Tim burton is my all time favorite director though he just wrote the story and did the stop motion for this one he’s a genius
Originally Disney didn’t want to work with tim burton he showed them a film and it was to dark for Disney taste but once they saw how successful beetlejuice was they decided to hire him to do this movie
I don't know if you're into music theory at all, but this film actually dabbles in it a little, with every time Jack sings, and when Sally sings.
There's what's called the Phrygian stank note that they both hit when they sing. It's basically a note that sounds slightly off from the rest of the notes being sung in a lyric.
You can hear it in Jack's lament, and Sally's song.
It's used to show their connection, even on the most basic musical level.
The movies that made us, a show on Netflix, has an episode on this movie.
My favorite mask has Jack and the grinch in a stolen sleigh with Zero and Max in the back.
Now THAT sounds awesome!
I would love to see you react to "Big Fish" directed by Tim Burton, and of course, if you haven't seen them yet: "Edward Scissorhands" and "Beetlejuice" are must-sees! 😉😁❤🌟
Hansel and Gretel would be interesting. Especially since it's one of Burton's early works that was lost for years.
Oh my God!!! I love this movie so, _so_ much!!! I'm a big fan of all things creapy and mysteriously spooky
@@Kaijufan360 ?
I don't know if you've already seen it but I would love you to react to Edward Scissorhands, it's an amazing Tim Burton movie 😍
Even if it was Henry Sellick directed this movie, Tim Burton made the poem which was the starting point of the story (the movie follows it quite basically even though some things were changed or added, the only characters mentioned in the poem are Jack, Santa and Lock, Shock and Barrel, though the last ones were unnamed), went through the songs with Danny Elfman and approved them.
Not sure if anyone else has commented this, but it’s funny that you mention the grinch.
There’s this theory going around that 4 movies are about the same man.
It starts with a movie I don’t remember the name of, but it’s with a boy and his dog. Then there’s the grinch. After that comes Corpse Bride, followed by Nightmare before Christmas.
4 men. 4 dogs.
If it was possible to insert a picture here I’d show you the epic one showing some of the stages of him.
Anyway. Great reaction! I love this movie, and have been watching it every Halloween and Christmas since it came out when I was little. And to answer your question - No. I was not scared of it. Although I never got (nor get) scared of anything, so I might be the wrong person to ask, lol. I’m actually a bit bummed about it, as it appears to be a great thrill and fun to get scared sometimes. But I’ll just keep enjoying watching others get scared instead 😃
This is my favourite movie!
I'm really happy that you enjoyed this one!
I grew up watching this movie every Halloween 🖤
I have all of the songs memorized 😈
Originally, the movie was distributed by Touchstone Pictures! Disney later acquired the IP.
Touchstone was created and owned by Disney.
A must see for me between Halloween and Christmas since I first saw it in 1994
There's a version of Sally's Song out there that's sung by Amy Lee, aka lead singer of Evanescence.
And Kidnap the Sandy Claws by Korn
And This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson
And What's This? By Flyleaf.
Tim was writer and producer. Tim was also Zero the dog
The fact that you sort of guessed Zero becoming Rudolph randomly at 9:49 ... Not quite there, but so close lol
This is one of my favorites. Can't wait for Corpse bride. I think you'll love it.
This and the Grinch are my go-to movies for Christmas. You should also check out Nightmare Revisited if you want rock covers of the songs it’s an official soundtrack to the original songs. I’d highly recommend Korn-Kidnap the Sandy Claws that is one of my personal favourites and a real banger.
I'm pretty sure Sally has vision of the future
You should react to coraline it’s so good
At the time the movie cam out stop-motion was seen as a thing of the past. Since then stop-motion movies are made from time to time. Often they have their own style which is a good way to start to make them memorable. Just as 'The Artist' showed that even today a silent movie can be successful.
Even if you just imitate it like the Lego Movie did.
I'm really looking forward to your Corpse Bride reaction!
I hope you'll check out even more stop motion and/or Tim Burton movies afterward
I definitely recommend Frankenweenie (stop motion & Tim Burton), Edward Scissorhands (Tim Burton), Beetlejuice (Tim Burton, has some stop motion too), Big Fish (Tim Burton) and all the stop motion movies from studio Laika (Coraline, ParaNorman, Boxtrolls, Kubo and the two strings & Mister Link)
Great reaction! This movie is pretty good!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
(Reads the title)This is not *A* musical,this is *THE* musical!🤩🎃🎄You'll have to react to"The Corpse Bride"next!😘☠💙00:53 - 00:56 *YES!* 😍
03:11 - 03:16 The very 1st time I watched this movie as a kid I couldn't go past the 1st song...I was too scared!!😰(And I wasn't in theater,it was in my home..in broad daylight!!😫)I couldn't get past the Shadow Monster on the Moon...I turned it off and didn't dare watching it again for I don't know how many years!X"-S Then one day I decided to give it another try,since I was grown up in the meantime,and... *I'M SUPER-GLAD I DID!!!* 🤩 I'm in love with this movie,I know it all by heart in Italian and I also know many songs in English!!🥰I suggest you to check out the Marilyn Manson's version of"This Is Halloween"...it's super-badass!😎
05:48 - 05:51 Fun fact:Jack's italian voice actor(both in the speaking and singing parts)is a famous italian singer(that kinda looks like Snape from"Harry Potter";-P)and he's called Renato Zero.😄
07:10 - 07:11 That would have been cool!😆It would be an interesting crossover.
09:50 - 09:54 Unintentional spoiler!😂
11:26 - 11:29 Nothing good,I guess!;-S 🎄🔥
20:35 - 20:38 I love how badass this moment is!🤣With the music and Jack's position!😎
tim Burton's Batman was not the original. The original Batman was the one made in the 1960s starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
The origin story movie of many current and/or former goths. XD
funny the nightmare before christmas [1993] film : first time watching -reaction !!!!
Hey Thor... any chance you've seen Edward Scissorhands?
I read on Internet there's some easter eggs to Tim Burton's movie in this one even he didn't directed it.
The moment with the Easter bunny always make me laugh because in France, it's the Easter bells (even if we know the bunny).
You should react to " Coraline " it's another stop motion movie.
What holidays, the bird represents ?
It's a Turkey. It represents thanksgiving
@@freakda96 ahh thanks you
You definitely need to see VoicePlay’s take on OogieBoogie’s song… and this is halloween… but mainly oogie boogie
Well, technically Jack IS already dead but he could become COMPLETLEY DEAD like he says in his song, he would turn into dust which eventually will happen to a skeleton that is not properly preserved, or his bones could be ground into powder or the explosion could have destroyed him completely.
Hi! maybe you'll be interested: a-capella group colled VOICEPLAY did covers almost all the songs from this movie. It's great!! I also highly recommended cover Jack's lament by Geoff Castellucci (bass from VOICEPLAY).
Could you react to Beetlejuice? Unless you've already seen it.
How about Tinkerbell and the Nightmare Before Christmas.
You should watch Turning Red next. Very cute movie. ❤️
Thank you for your reactions; I love them.
Maybe you could react to 'Inside Man'(2006) about a brilliant bank heist
or 'The Wave'(2008) original title 'Die Welle', a serious movie about how easy people are radicalized (read up on in).
Hi im so happy that you reacted to this movie cause this is my favorite timburton/Disney movie ever and its the best movie of all time. This movie is very beloved so as you can see. But anyways can you please react to fright night. Chris sarandon plays jack skellington in thus film so I thought maybe do fright night and if not can u do alice in wonderland also tim Burton/disney movie please
Every time I sub to a reactor I have to request A Tale of Two Sisters. A s Korean horror drama. Someday someone will react to this highly rated film!
Tim Burton wrote the original poem and it was adapted into a movie. Yes others wrote the screenplay and it was directed by Henry Selick but it was Tim Burtons original idea ans poem and influenced by the Tim Burton style. Its kinda like Where the Wild Things Are being adapted into a movie, another children's book. As much as I agree that everyone involve should get more credit with this film I also do not agree taking away from Tim Burton as being the creator of the original poem and idea. If we go down that rabbit hole all children book stories creators should not be credited for anything when their books get adapted into films. Not right either.
Where's Marie?
Can you watch studio Ghibli movies??
This is okay, but Corpse Bride is far better.
Perhaps Thor could do some matchmaking with Angel.
