Nightmare (1993) is an EPIC stop-animation flick co-directed and written by Tim Burton, and based on a poem of his creation. Like any Burton movie, the visuals are absolutely STUNNING in their dark and dreamy ways, and Danny Elfman, who composed the music and gave our much loved Jack Skellington a voice to sing, just tied together this insane piece of perfection.
TNBC is not just a kid’s movie. It’s a masterpiece that doesn’t know age, because anyone will love its charming story, lovable characters, macabre humor, and kick-ass songs, which have been covered by bands including Marilyn Manson, Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, and Panic! at the Disco and more. Check em out on Youtube!
If escaping off to the worlds of Halloween Town and Xmas Town doesn’t rock your own, you’re not human!
... Pretty damn shitty that people who make subcultures a bandwagon thing cheaped The Nightmare by making it their little icon. How 'individual' to parade Jack merchandise, eh?

I fucking love that movie. Seriously, I've made it a tradition to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas every year around Halloween time!

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick
Lock him up for 90 years
See what makes him tick
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see
Lock him in a cage and then
Throw away the key!

A kickass stop-animation movie, concieved by Tim Burton. He wrote a poem that the movie was based on, but wasnt too closely involved with it otherwise.
Danny Elfman did the music and sang for Jack Skellington. WONDERFUL songs in this movie.
Pitched as a kid's movie, but all can appreciate it.
It is currently the 10th anniversary, so go out and buy it on DVD!

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.

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.

Heading eastbound on SR50 just outside of Orlando FL, the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' is what some people call the town of Bithlo. Shortly after exiting Bithlo, you enter the town of Christmas, FL.
