Sunday Classics: Tim Burton's ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’

Make way for the Pumpkin King!

When it comes to holiday classics, we can’t help but rave about this dreamy animated musical. Created by the brilliant Tim Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas follows the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town who is named Jack Skellington. He stumbles upon Christmas Town and becomes obsessed with celebrating the festival. However, his plans go terribly wrong.

The revolutionary stop-motion animation film has unique characters like Sally, Oogie Boogie and Dr. Finkelstein, who are a joy to watch. Danny Elfman created the original soundtrack for the film which adds to the gripping, dark aura of the film. Modelled like a musical, the lyrics carry a large chunk of the film's story on its shoulders. Get into the holiday spirit with this classic film that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
