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.

New Bedford, MA is an average sized city in southeastern Massachusetts
Highway Route 18 takes you from North to south ends.
Known for its history in whaling and and underground railroad also 18th century imigrants from Portugal, cape verde and French Canada.
The late 1980's is when the city was overcome and multiplied with Quatemalans, hispanics, etc.. etc.. where their claim to success is gangs and selling drugs, and everyone wants to live on welfare and do drugs.
now there isnt much more than abandoned buildings with no one that wants to work. and the city is struggling to upkeep its undergrowth of filth.
There are 3 high schools:
Voc- Tech - go there to learn how to work in the real world
new bedford high- where some get an education and gangs try to be cool but get demoted to
west side high school- with juvenile law breakers
Dont listen to the mumbo jumbo about gangs and whos reppin where. its all just to indimidate the hard working individuals. while the welfare crowd stays at home and deals drugs out of there over-filled 1 bedroom apartments.

Get the New Bedford mug.A very good Tim Burton film. It has a cute, juvenile charm to it due to the fact that the main character Jack Skellington (the Pumpkin King) is child-like and unaware of anything outside Halloween Town. (Please note that I did not see this movie until I was twelve, and have only actually liked it since 09's Halloween, so if my definition seems a tad off, that's why.)
The animation is beautifully done, and the music is fun to listen to (except Sally's song... That was just annoying.) Again, the juvenile charm of the whole film is so endearing it's hard for me to imagine why people hate it that so many kids in their early teens enjoy this movie- it brings out the inner child that kids 11-14 know they need to hold onto, even though they want to grow out of it.
All in all, an enjoyable film with a very creative idea, and a main character who is likeable, if a bit naive.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a movie that anyone can enjoy upon seeing it the second time (or third. Or fouth. Etc.) Much like Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
