This is how you make a great introduction. First, a feel for the whole movie. Then, the setting, followed by the characters, and finally the protagonist, who gets a bigger share of the spotlight.
I like to imagine that Jack actually just normally looks like a scarecrow with a pumpkin head but he decided to burn his skin off with acid just for the sake of having a really badass moment at the end of this song
Jack mentions that the town has been doing the same thing for Halloween for a very long time. If you're right, then there's an implication that Jack burns his skin off for Halloween, and then it slowly grows back during the year
@@Saxophrenic25 I mean.. It's not like one can just simply crawl into a acarecrow. Though, honestly, it feels like his skeleton form is his.. "normal form", especially with his clothing being there. Maybe he just turns into a scarecrow a few days before halloween?? Or gradually becomes one over the year. I've also kinda always thought 'pumpkin king' was just a title, tbh.
Jack was also cute in a way to see when he done his big smile its was cute and funny looking and he was dead and still could feel love and understanding and adventure also
The big smile with his mouth open when he sees christmas town its also funny when he does the o shape like hes saying oh whats this and the shape of his mouth is circuler like a o its also funny
I fell in love with this movie when I was just 6 years old when I saw it for the first time while I was carving out my pumpkin for Halloween. *To this day, this is still my all-time favourite Halloween movie.*
I'n guessing you were 6 in 2001, based on your username? I was 6 when this first came out, and I'm 34 now. I still watch this every year on Halloween and Yule :)
A movie that never gets old. Not to mention that you can watch it for BOTH Halloween and Christmas. Tim Burton made this film stand out above other Halloween films and the claymation still holds up today. Definitely gonna start rewatching the movie every year now :)
I can't even imagine how people celebrated Halloween before this masterpiece was created Edit: guys I'm not talking about the whole movie or the Halloween traditions as a whole, I just mean the song 😭
"Tender lumplings everywhere life's no fun without a good scare. That's our job, but we're not mean In our town of Halloween." That's what Halloween is all about.
Modern viewers learn these facts. First off this was NOT directed by Tim Burton. He was only a producer. The actual director was Henry Selick, and this was his debut movie. He later directed James and the Giant Peach and Coraline. Two, This movie isn't CG. It's stop motion. Everyone in this is a clay figure. Every step, dance move, lip movement and effect was done by taking a picture of a figure the slightly moving said figure taking a picture then scrolling through the various pictures like a flip book. If that sounds like a long, tedious and expensive process to you, then you'd be correct. Jack Skellington alone had over 100 differ heads that were swapped out for various facial expressions and lip movements.
@@bensell982 True. But look at the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. Many of those George Lucas executive produced but didn’t direct, but they were still his ideas and his babies. Same goes for Tim Burton and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. TNBC was Burton’s creation and his baby and he produced but didn’t direct it. In certain cases I happen to see people also not give enough credit to the producers. For example, like how I mentioned Indiana Jones, many people only give credit to Steven Spielberg and not enough to George Lucas. I also should mention that Tim Burton CHOSE Henry Selick to direct TNBC. And my last point is that I believe that most people know that Tim Burton didn’t direct TNBC, but he was still a filmmaker involved in it and that it was created by Tim Burton.
There is however a lot of CG added in in the remasters that wasn't there originally. Remasters are pretty wild if you go back and compare the 4k to the VHS version. ^-^
I know how you feel. Some people are truly weirdo's. I know a dude who hated this movie, thought it was the dumbest most pointless thing ever. Couldn't appreciate one thing about it. Told me it was trash. Brother Bear is the kind of kids movie he thinks is incredible. He's the kind of person that's always asking annoying questions when you're trying to watch a movie. He'll ask "is that iron man in the metal suit"? It's like Dude, we've been watching this for an hour... How are you confused about which one is iron man? He's a full grown man, just a total weirdo. He spends most of his time watching Judge Judy. He loves that sh!t.
This has been my favorite movie of all time ever since i saw it. I was 3 when it came out and I was obsessed! Now I'm almost 32 and still just as obsessed, I've loved this movie for almost 30 years. It will forever be a part of my life. I've collected so much merch over the years and i never stop getting excited for finding new things to add to my collection.
@@liamwahl6374 I feel it should be a law that you have to listen to this song as many times as you want to on Halloween. Christmas music can wait until it's the right time.
Its not animated its stop motion. They spent two years making this movie and every week they would do about a minute so impinge this video took about 3 weeks or more to make. Awesome.
I honestly like to say that the scene of Jack jumping into the fountain as a pumpkin in scarecrow and rising as a skeleton is a parody of Jack Napier falling into a pool of ACE chemicals and rising from it as the Joker. But it is as iconic and as unforgettable as it none the less.
You know how Disney hides their villains in the background of the cover/promo art? Well, they kept it going on The Nightmare Before Christmas. On every single version of the poster, the moon is seen. Oogie Boogie himself said that he is the shadow on the moon.
And here we are once again!! Happy Halloween everyone!! Make sure to celebrate it to the fullest despite the pandemic still taking place!! 🎃👻💀☠🦸♂️🧟♂️🧛♂️🦇
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, and I have no idea why. Every year running around dressed like one of my favorite characters or something scary has always brought me such joy to my life. And going to my local Spirit Halloween to pick out who I want to be. Just the feeling of cold wind against my face and the smell of bonfires in the air has always been a nice feeling for me. I don't know why boomers try to ruin Halloween by moving the trick-or-treating to Saturdays instead having it on a Sunday, or hand out bibles instead of candy because of monsters being "satanic", it just sucks the fun out of it. Christmas is too commercialized now, Thanksgiving is kinda awkward, and what's the point of Easter? I mean, look at it. What does a giant rabbit hiding eggs have to do with Jesus? Halloween is the one best holidays, and you can't get me wrong. I'll always love Halloween, even when I become too old to trick-or-treat. I just wish it could be celebrated for the last week of October instead of the last day.
Halloween is a very special holidays, people are more happy around that time. Also may be me but I feel the Halloween songs more cheerful than others, even thought i don't put a costume, I enjoy Halloween a lot, definitely would look for a costume.
What is your favorite Halloween song? 🎃 Let me know below! 👇

I love Jack’s entrance, it is the coolest thing ever!
So it seems. I really need to watch this movies, I think I've never have
Totaly
No kidding
Yes!
I agree. Great entrance and a great way to introduce our main character and the best opening song to start the movie.
I absolutely love “I am The “Who” when you call, “who’s there”?”
Same 💗 and I love the airy voice to go with it 🌬
I am a wind blow through your hair
Always been my favorite line. It's honestly the scariest of all the monsters because, well, who is it?
It's always been my favorite line!
It is really the scariest line👻👻🤣
This is how you make a great introduction. First, a feel for the whole movie. Then, the setting, followed by the characters, and finally the protagonist, who gets a bigger share of the spotlight.
🤩😍😍😍🤑🤑🥰🥰
Add onto the fact that the very first thing we get when being introduced to the place we see a random scarecrow who it turns out to be our man jack
Totally agree. One of my favorite movie openings. This Is Halloween is perfect for Halloween.

Its just that good.
Danny Elfman and everyone who worked on sound/music editing are geniuses!
