Today's movie is -
Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) I have many friends on here who adore this movie. This movie is pure genius! A movie that covers my two favorite holidays! Now just in case there is someone who doesn't know about this movie - here are some summaries:
"This stop-motion animation film features characters created by
Tim Burton, and while he is a producer of the film, does not direct.
Danny Elfman contributes a lavish musical score and the singing voice of Jack Skellington (speaking voice by
Chris Sarandon). Jack lives in Halloweentown and is in charge of turning out a top-notch scary Halloween each year, but he's bored of being the Pumpkin King and wanders into a mysterious forest with 6 holiday-themed doors. He opens the door shaped like a Christmas tree and discovers "the warmth that's coming from inside" in the fanciful Christmastown."
"Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is tired of the same old thing every year. He wanders into the woods and finds some holiday trees and each has a town in it. He goes to the Christmas one and finds himself in Christmas Town. He likes the idea, tells the town to the citizens and they decide to make their own Christmas with their own twist. Written by

Tim Burton is just awesome. Danny Elfman is also awesome. Put them together and you have one of the best movies ever!
