The best movie in the world, starring Jack and Sally the Ragdoll. Based on the poem by Tim Burton, which only actaully has 3 characters. (Jack, Santa, and Zero, Jack's ghost dog.)
My dearest friend,
if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we could gaze into the stars
and sit together, now and forever
for it is plain, as anyone can see,
We're simply meant to be

^ Jack and Sally's duet.

A film that has been marketed to death at commercial alternative clothing stores such as Hottopic, The Alley, Spencer's, etc.

Clearly ruined by mallgawths.

Are Sally Lipgloss Mirrors for $10 necessary?

Do you really think that hoodie makes you cool? What about the rest of 98% of the other kids who shop at hottopic and are seen running around malls in them?! Are they cool too?

Films are meant to inspire not to be marketed to idiotic masses.

The Corpse Bride is another prime example.

Mallgawthposer1: I g0t this new Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie for $60.

Mallgawthposer2: o rly?! SO COOL! THAT film was aAMZING! LAWLS.

Unfortunate bystander: Watch it be in clearance in about a week with the rest of the tim burton crap, idiots.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an amazing animation directed by Tim Burton and Composed by Danny Elfman. It is based around a town called 'Halloween Town', where Halloween King: Jack Skellington, decides to take on christmas for the year...but things go wrong as christmas turns more into a nightmare.

Nightmare Before Christmas is a work of art. Came out in 1993 and I have watched it since I was 3 years old. I grew up with the movie, as did many other people I know. Suddenly the 10th anniversary of the film's release in 2003 brings the love for this movie to the public masses, and was every kind of merchandise was sold at HotTopic. Now if it was anything else I would have said they sold out, but it was NBC so I didn't read too much into it, thinking the sales of NBC merchandise would just slowly decrease, but ever since then it has probably doubled. Now every little bull shiting emo asshole, and 12year old kid loves fucking NBC. (most of the time the Emo assholes are also 12 year olds, or just look like it.) So yea it should be amusing to witness the slaughter of Tim Burton's newest film Corpse Bride...ha, don't make me laugh.
Come one, come all, every 10 year old kid will be seeing Corpse Bride and if you don't...you won't be cool enough to be isolated from the popular kids you wish you were!
10 year old kid:NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS ROCKS!
me:*hits child in head with NBC dvd* Here take it, and actually watch it when you wake up.....

Stupid children

Best damn movie EVER. Tim Burton and Harry Selick are some DAMN GENIUSES. Characters ROCK and Nothing can beat it out.
Kidnap the sandy claws, lock him up real tight, throw away the key and then, turn off all the lights!

A good but extremely overrated movie about the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, trying to bring along a new holiday in Halloween Town - Christmas.

However, things go very wrong when Santa Claus gets kidnapped by Oogie Boogie, nearly ruining Christmas in both Halloween Town and the real world. Jack saves him in the end and Santa goes back to his world. Halloween Town... just simply stays Halloween Town.

Like I said, while the movie is good, people should stop calling it "the best movie ever", because yes - it IS very creative, but come on, you have to admit there were some pretty bad parts in it too (like the part before the end, where Jack saves Santa. It was just too.. lacking).

It's also generally loved by the goth/emo subculture.. maybe because of the whole Halloween thing.. and the overall gothic appearance? I dunno.. let them love it as they will.
Retard: omg Nightmare Before Christmas is the BEEESSSTT MOVIE EVERRRRRR!!

Non-retard: ... shut up.
