24:48 *_"Did he just blow his nose and then fly into the air?"_* It's actually from the original poem, *‘Twas the Night Before Christmas:* _And laying his finger aside of his nose,_
_and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose._ 🎅🏻
“But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight: ‘Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.’
(Sorry. I couldn’t resist.) 😂😂
The reason why Zero's nose glows is that the nose is a little Jack O' Lantern that glows. Also, fun fact when the vampires were playing hockey with the pumpkin, it was originally a human head but they had to change it.
Specifically Tim Burton's severed head
@@Ceej87109 That is right
OHhhhhhh
@@Ceej87109 one hell of a cameo
Fun Fact: Jack’s singing voice is Danny Elfman, the composer of all the music in the movie.
He was also the singer-songwriter for Oingo Boingo.
And Jack's speaking voice is Prince Humperdinck!
@@katrinalehto8767 I actually didn't know that!
the voice of the mad Scientist is the Old man that burned the tree from Christmas Vacation.
*composer of all music in every Tim Burton movie ever >.>
(exaggerating but you know lol)
The whole film is stop-motion, which is what claymation is a form of, although clay is not really used in this film. But almost everything in this movie was captured in camera.
Also, as others have said, Tim Burton conceptualized and designed the film, but it was directed by Henry Sellick.
I was about to comment this lol
“Why does the dog have a glowing nose? He’s like Rudolph.”
Hold that thought, Natalie.
The sweet irony of this movie is that all this time, Jack THOUGHT he needed Christmas in his life, but what he REALLY needed, only Sally could give him at the end...
A bone?
@@MrCheenibum64 Does Jack Skellington appear to you to need any extra bones?
Perspective?
A life outside of work
And he still got Christmas too, as Santa was kind enough to bring Christmas to Halloween Town in spite of everything Jack did.
No, he didn't blow his nose. LOL In the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas" it says:
"He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!"
Beat me by 8 minutes. *chuckles* I always thought that was pretty clever, though, the idea that laying his finger aside his nose was what gave him the power to fly up and down chimneys.
I was going to write this same comment and wanted to have the exact, correct words. I googled Twas the Night Before Christmas and found nothing. I was really startled, at 53 years old, to find out the poem is called: A Visit From St. Nicholas.🙀🙀🙀
Historical footnote: laying a finger beside your nose is an old way to signal "I've got a secret" or "this is just between us" and probably was not intended as a magical gesture in the poem. But because of the poem's popularity the original meaning has been totally eclipsed by the idea that this is Santa's magic gesture.
False. Finger to nose to indicate secret is incredibly common to this day.
@@docsavage8640 I wouldn't say it's "incredibly" common. Maybe to people who watch "The Sting". On the other hand, just because that's what it means doesn't mean it can't also be Santa's magical "up the chimney I go" gesture.
Jack didn't realize the towns people of Halloween town were making scary toys. I LOVED the concept of the scary/creepy toys and gifts.
Doctor Finklestein created Sally, she's like his daughter, yeah he is over-protective, but once he created his wife "Jewel" that has half his brain, he was fine. The halloween people didn't understand that Christmas was about happiness and togetherness and not about being scary or scary tricks for fun. They weren't being mean, they just very much missed the whole point of Christmas is all. This film is very mucg inspired by the late Victorian, gothic, macabre comics of Edward Gorey and Germen Expressionism of old black & white German films of the 1920s...
You really shouldn't judge all of Tim Burton's film works on his weakest movie Willy Wonka!
he has far far better movies, so I recommend you watch Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, and his 1989 Batman movie, and Batman Returns, and Sleepy Hollow...
I agree on all of these movies :) all worth a watch!!
And the often overlooked Mars Attacks!
Don't forget Sweeney Todd!
The feelings of Halloween just don’t translate to Christmas. Undead monsters, ghosts and other monsters, all of them pride themselves on being scary and get joy from causing fear. Soft hearted happiness is just evades them.
Big Fish is an amazing movie that hits much harder once the viewer has experienced a certain event (no spoilers), it’s fun and endearing before the event, but melancholy and sad after the event.
I wouldn't dismiss Tim Burton based on his Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. A lot of his earlier stuff is really undeniably great.
This! Big Fish, Beetlejuice, Big Eyes, Edward Scissorhands, etc... I actually liked his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One to absolutely skip though is his Planet of the Apes... terrible film.
What's wrong with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
@@delfordchaffin5617 Big Fish is a seriously underrated Tim Burton movie and possibly my favourite. Right up there with Ed Wood for me. And I think people really sleep on Big Eyes, but Big Eyes isn't one of his earlier ones- its from 2014. But it is the first one of his films in over a decade at that point to not feature either Helena Bonham Carter or Johnny Depp, and a departure from some other long time collaborations behind the camera. To me, it shows that Burton's still got it, but his constant collaborations with the same people have just grown stale.
His Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was actually more faithful to the book than the one with Gene Wilder
Tim Burton's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is great
My parents thought this would be a cute animated chirstmas movie so we watched it on christmas eve when I was a kid. My sister and I couldn't sleep at all that night lol
You mean you really wanted to meet Skellington Claus, right? Perfectly understandable. :P
Always appreciated having such a cool character as a namesake.
He’s unbelievably iconic and for a skeleton kinda adorable.
Like I know he’s a skeleton and the king of halloween and all that, but when he’s smiling and happy in that Christmas land I’m just like “Omg he’s an absolute bean!” 😂
7:10 She was originally meant to be more corpse like, because she’s supposed to be Frankenstein’s Monster, but they couldn’t exactly show blood and severed bones every time she unraveled herself so they filled her with stuffing in stead.
It's cool that we get a book explaining certain things about her.
This movie actually really freaked me out as a kid (especially the scene when the toys were chasing the kids)😬 Bit I do actually enjoy and appreciate it now!
I watched this when I was 5, and instantly loved it. Still go back and watch it.
I literally had a nightmare with the scientist dude trying to kidnap me and my family after watching the movie as a kid.
This movie terrified me as a kid, but now I love it with a passion!
@@djehuty7771 It's funny because that's technically what he did with Sally.
I’m Jewish, and everyone was surprised that I had never seen Home Alone or A Nightmare Before Christmas
Thematically, Sally deserves a better song. Musically, I think it’s the best in the whole film.
"Thematically" what should have done been like at that moment??
@@cginsane22 theres lots of options for what could have been done at that moment, that is the nature of creative artistic endeavors, and why there are so many variations in movies. your questions seems to imply that sallys song was the clear choice and if she had a different song that section of the movie would be ruined.
We dont have to construct a whole replacement to justify our opinion that thematically her song is weak and its a bummer and it could have been done differently.
The Fiona Apple version is incredible.
@@MrNateBryant so is the Amy lee version!
There’s the Oogie’s Revenge version.
I find myself singing all of these songs way more often than I should. Danny Elfman did an incredible job with this.
Claymation is just another word for stop-motion animation. The two are often interchangeable because plasticine "clay" can easily be used in stop-motion animation but actual models and other items (without clay) can be used for stop-motion animation. The 1933 version of King Kong is perhaps one of the earliest and best known examples of stop-motion in movies. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" uses stop-motion animation, claymation and traditional cel animation.
if I'm not mistaken, there's little to no claymation in "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Even when Jack Skellington speaks, that's replacement animation, where there's an individual head created for every mouth movement, replaced frame by frame.
I went to school for animation and one class was all stop motion, we used sand, paper, meat, clay, and a few other things.
Stop-motion just means each frame is taken as it’s own “picture” and what’s going on on screen is each little movement between each picture flow together to show movement. Claymation is just stop-motion where the medium is clay, but it can be anything and be stop-motion as long as the way in which the frames are created is as stated above.
"Claymation" is actually trademarked by Nick Park - the guy who did Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, and others. The term should not really be used for other animations, even if they use clay.
@@PhilBagels Claymation was also the specific process used to create Gumby back in the 60's. That being said, is claymation a form of stop-motion animation? Absolutely. Is claymation used in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"? No. There is nothing animated specifically using clay. Are the terms "interchangeable"? That would be like calling what Ray Harryhausen did claymation, which it isn't. But is it stop-motion? Definitely.
I saw this movie at the New York City Film Festival, where it had its world premiere. It was hosted and introduced by Tim Burton himself. He pulled out a telegram he had just received from Vincent Price congratulating him. This was 16 days before Price's death.
Santa laying a finger to the side of his nose in order to fly is one of his lesser talked about abilities. It is referenced in Twas The Night Before Christmas. "And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose".
The way Jack rises from the coffin, just before he flies away, is a direct reference to Chris Sarandon's movie "Fright Night", in which, as a vampire, he rises in the same way. In it's turn, this scene is an homage to Murnau's "Nosferatu"
I don't know if it's on the list, but Netflix's animated film "Klaus" is beautiful!
It is 2D, but rendered to look like 3D (whereas Spider-Verse was the opposite).
Klaus is awesome. Everyone should watch it.
Yeees! Klaus! It's so good!
YES! I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS!
Oh man was that a good movie. Sort of like a retake on the folklore of St. Nicholas with just a touch of a little "Disc World-ian" whimsy. I for sure cried a little at the end. IYKYK
@@AnthonyTyger the first time around was with kids bouncing off the walls, so I wasn't as connected, but after watching it quietly myself front-to-back, I cried at the ending, too!
With Sally and Jack it's implied they've known each other for a long time, or at least as long as Sally has been alive, which also has some weird implications now that I think about it but I'm not going to ruin this romance for myself lol
oh wow, one of my favorites being reacted to by one of my favorites. :) I actually sang "jacks lament" as my audition into my show choir class so i got called the pumpkin king for 4 years afterwards.
That's actually pretty awesome, being called The Pumpkin King for four years!
Dang, if you have to have a funny title for four years, you can do a looooot worse than the awesomeness of "The Pumpkin King" :D
If you liked that, I suggest you try some of the Laika films("Coraline", "Kubo and the Two Strings", "Paranorman", "The Boxtrolls", etc;) Amazing animation and the same animation artist, Henry Selick, who did the stop motion part of NBC.
There was a deleted ending where Oogie was a machine disguise built by Dr.Finkelstein, but it didn't really fit, other than to explain the obvious to Jack, that Sally loved him over the Doctor.
The cartoon ghost you saw in the beginning was just for that moment. ... The whole movie was "stop motion animation"
Also, Zero's nose is a Jack-O-Lantern ... that's why it glows. ;)
"Sally's Song" is beautiful. Elfman is amazing.
The classic "is it a christmas movie or a halloween movie?" movie!
(btw, the answer is "yes, it is")
Edit: A few fun facts and trivia: while written by Tim Burton, he didn't actually direct it. The animation style is called "stop motion", basically a succession of photographs where animation is handmade between shots. Most Aardman movies are made like this, as well as Coraline (another great Burton-esque movie), and many old special effects in Star Wars.
It's always been a regular watch around Halloween to me. Rarely watched it around Christmas.
Claymation is a kind of stop-motion animation. It gets it's own name because clay is such a natural medium for stop-motion.
"Coraline".
@@Deathbird_Mitch Ah crap, I typo'd it
Hmm... Can't recall if she's watched any of the Aardman movies.
Using Brook's laugh for the certified bone joke is just perfect
Aww, I love Sally's Song. It's by far my favourite in the movie., it's so beautiful and heartwrenching.
This movie is full on stop motion! Every single shot in this movie was painstakingly animated by hand. All sets and characters are made by hand. It took years of pre production along with 2 years of filming to bring this masterpiece to life.
Is it just me or was that Brooke’s laugh from ONE PIECE every time the certified Bone Joke appears.
24:48 "Did he just blow his nose and fly into the air? Is that how that works?" This is a reference to the classic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," perhaps better known as "'Twas the Night before Christmas" (from which this movie gets its name).
Specifically, the lines:
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
There are a number of other Tim Burton films I think you'd enjoy. His version of Willy Wonka was kind of weak, yes, but he also did Beetlejuice, the 1989 Batman film, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks!, and Sleepy Hollow, among others.
This is one of my favorite movies. I love stop-motion animation. This movie is visually stunning and it has one of the best movie soundtracks ever. And Catherine O'Hara as Sally, LOVE HER!!!
I LOVE this movie. Watch it every year. It's not Halloween or Christmas without this movie. 🎃👑🎄🎅
As an Irish person it's so nice hearing you say St paddy's bc the amount of Americans and Canadians I see that call it st patty's day boils my blood 😂😂
Though I was born here in America my mother immigrated from England and her father was Irish so I grew up knowing how to properly say St. Paddy's Day. I was brought up celebrating the day in the traditional manner so yes the way most Americans celebrate it irritates me.
I'm with you on late-career Tim Burton, Nat. Not a fan of his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Alice in Wonderland movies and everything that came after, except for his Sweeny Todd, which I thought was pretty good.
The best Burton is basically everything from Big Fish backwards. So Big Fish came out in 2003 and it is an amazing faerie tale of a movie guaranteed to make you cry. Very much in line with Edward Scissorhands. So if you watch every Tim Burton film from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure in 1985 through to Big Fish in 2003, you'll watch a lot of great movies.
I like the look he created for the Wonderland films, but yeah, the story just isn't him. Nor Dumbo, nor Charlie.
With a couple of exceptions (Like Batman) the best work of Burton is when he’s exploring ideas of his own, not making adaptations of other people’s ideas.
I definitely think she would like Big Fish.
Big eyes, Sweeney Todd, corpse bride, frakenweenie were all fantastic. Alice in wonderland not good. And didn't really care for Dumbo. But I personally enjoyed Charlie and the chocolate factory.
My own top 10 favorites are Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Big Fish (2003), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Dark Shadows (2012).
Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've made it a personal tradition of mine to watch it every year at some point between Halloween and Christmas.
The Nightmare Before St. Patrick's Day certainly would have made an entertaining sequel 😄
Re Santa holding his nose: this comes from the original "Night Before Christmas" poem, where Santa goes back up the chimney in a flash after laying his finger by the side of his nose.
Haha love the fact that the remote to the lamp almost has to touch it. Kinda defeats the whole "remote" concept 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I unabashedly love Sally's song. It has such a beautiful melody. Might be my favorite song of the movie actually.
It took about a week to film each single minute of the movie - to animate the faces of most of the main characters they had multiple heads which were popped on & off - Jack had approx 400 faces each with a different segment of facial expression
"Sandy Claws? Ooh... I'm really SCARED!"
This is a classic. I'm glad you dug it.
A belated Happy Hanukkah to you, Natalie. ^___^
I think 50% is a fairly decent sub rate, as youtube goes. Be proud!
I still think one of the best jokes in this movie is the Mayor's line of "I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!"
This is stop motion animation. In other words: move a little figure the tiniest fraction of a fraction of a movement, take one photo. Repeat hundreds of thousands of times, and you have a movie! Also check out the movies from Laika. Same deal. Also "they barely know each other". I think the implication in this one is that everyone knows everyone in the town, their entire.. existence is only to celebrate Halloween and be spooky. Everyone does that all the time, they're all close.
I used to make crude stop motion films as a kid, talk about hard work
9:03 It was always claymation/stopmotion but since it's daytime its more appearant. Plus the beginning had some cartoon ghosts and stuff.
It's hard to believe you've never seen this movie, christmas or not...
but if you are looking for other brilliant christmas movies to enjoy, I have to suggest "A Muppet Christmas Carol".
I promise you'll enjoy every second of it!
+1 on the Muppet Christmas Carol. Such Great songs in that one. "The Love we Found...."
Best version of A Christmas Carol, period. It's one of the best Muppet films of all time IMO
I second this!
His acting is great in it, but Michael Caine is a terrible singer 🤦🏻♂️😅 at least he was a good sport and gave it a go anyway.
@@ItsAsparageese Have to disagree with that, Mickey's Christmas Carol is the best there ever was. The runner up to that is the Doctor Who Christmas Carol.
@@Elurin Haha to each their own. I can't stand Doctor Who at all (nothing against it, just isn't my taste, never been able to enjoy any of it I've been exposed to) so I suppose I'm just glad people enjoy versions of the tale in whatever form lol
This is my niece's favorite movie of all time. She's six now, but she's loved it since she was two. She wanted to be Jack Skellington for Halloween when she was four, and my sister made it happen! The cutest Jack Skellington ever.
This is my daughters all time favorite "Christmas Movie" which she also watches every Halloween...lol. As much as you liked Oogie Boogie's song, I highly recommend you watch Voice Play's version of it, it is AMAZING, Geoff Castelluci's voice will blow your mind I guarantee it!!!
Amy Lee's cover of Sally's Song is good too.
th-cam.com/video/RQj2iOEx-V8/w-d-xo.html
I love this movie as both a Halloween and Christmas movie. The music is great and the plot isn’t over complicated. “Nice work, Bone Daddy” was an inside joke among a group of my friends in college.
As a Jewish girl, could you pick any of these movies/tv series?
Ben-Hur
The Nanny
Tropic Thunder(just for Les Grossman)
The Big Lebowski
Fiddler on the Roof
Fun fact, back in 1999 I worked in a video rental store. When I interviewed they asked who my favorite director was and I said Tim Burton. They asked me to name some of his movies and my mind went blank. lol
If you enjoyed this movie I think you may enjoy The Corpse Bride. It has a similar feel to it cause it's another stop-motion Tim Burton musical. His movies are hit or miss for me - some great, some... not so great lol, so I get where you're coming from with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride aren't claymation. They are stop-motion with special puppets. No clay involved.
@@captainshadow3756 I didn't know that, thanks! Comment edited!
This movie was made with 110,000 frames total .... stop-motion animation is so impressive.
There's an album of this movie's music recorded by various artists called "Nightmare Revisited". For example, Amy Lee of Evanescence does Sally's Song. I bet this is where you've heard the music from. Especially Marilyn Manson's "This is Halloween".
Fall Out Boy did their own version of Jack's "What's This?" song and it's real good, imo. I always listen to that song and the ones from Nightmare Revisited around this time of year. There's even a video no youtube of Fall Out Boy's version timed with the scene from the movie.
I recommend checking out the music, it's fun to listen to.
Fun fact: Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop motion film, it definitely took a while for it to be made
If you are up for another Tim Burton movie, I highly recommend Big Fish.
The thing about Big Fish is it's a wonderful movie in need of a lot more attention.
Also you will cry if you watch it.
Yes! Also Big Eyes, and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd! 😍
Please please please react to Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd please..............
This and Corpse Bride might be my two favorite animated movies
This is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Tim Burton has disappointed me a lot. But he did not disappoint with this one. And this is some of Danny Elfman's finest work too. Just amazing.
It is puppet animation it took them years to do. The making of is incredible
My daughter is 4 years old and loves this movie. We watch it a couple of times a week since she first saw it around Halloween time. I thought it miiiiight be a little scary for her but she was fine. She doesn’t seem to have a problem with gore and scary stuff.
It’s cute when she pretends to be Sally and makes me some frog’s breath soup. 🤣
My wedding was themed after Jack and Sally's duet "Simply Meant to Be" our first dance was to that duet. I wore a pinstripe suit, my wife wore a tattered wedding dress and our cake was moonlit Hill with Jack and Sally toppers.
I'd love to see you react to the Kingsman films. They are incredibly enjoyable and extremely underrated.
Letsss gooo! hopefully she does.
So I know Tim Burton's name is on the movie but he was just a producer on the film. Henry Selick actually directed and produced the claymation.
YAY! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE HALLOWEEN/CHRISTMAS MOVIES!!!!
th-cam.com/video/3w19SAl1OBQ/w-d-xo.html May I ask what name of the movie in video opinion what year and genre is
Me too! That movie is terrifying!
Yeah this is claymation I think the technical name is stop action animation or something like that, they had a jack suitcase filled with a bunch of jack heads different expressions and different shapes for different letters and words and his head would pop off they'd take a pic change head next pic to make him talk. And the beginning its real fire they had the town and they filmed fires and superimposed the fire where it was needed I think theres a video about it, its pretty awesome
You HAVE to do Die Hard this Christmas. You will genuinely enjoy it.
15:37 La, La La La La La , La La La La La "Kidnap the Santy Claws" is the best song. That is Kathryn O'Hara, Paul Reubens and Danny Elfman himself singing. With so much GLEE!
Yes! Happy Hanukkah Nat! My kids love this movie!
th-cam.com/video/3w19SAl1OBQ/w-d-xo.html May I ask what name of the movie in video opinion what year and genre is
Santa putting a finger beside his nose before going up the chute is a reference to Twas the Night before Christmas (A visit from Saint Nicholas.), And the movie is entirely stop motion (what you'd consider claymation).
Are there enough weird musicals for Natalie to watch? I'd love to see her react to Little Shop Of Horrors for example
“It almost looks like claymation now” IT IS NATALIE!! THE WHOLE MOVIE IS!!
Please react to the first two Brendan Fraser Mummy films! 🙏🏻❤️
A man of class. Nice.
In the poem "The Night Before Christmas" you'll find the words "And laying his finger aside of his nose and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. That's why you see Santa putting his finger alongside (and not into) his nose.
If you haven't seen it, you should watch the best and most festive Christmas classic movie ever made:
Die Hard!
A true Bruce Willis christmas experience :)
“The best Christmas movie you’ll see all summer”
I notice people judge others for not having seen something before but really should be envied because they get to experience something they’ve never seen before
I'm telling ya, Natalie has got play last of us part 1... It'll be the experience of her lifetime
Nooo it would break her 😭💀💀
@@haileewilliams true... But if she's looking for that emotional rollercoaster, LOU will be the best ride to get on
@@TheIndohobo dang thats true
The songs were written by Danny Elfman of Oingo Boingo, a crazy 70s & 80s "alternative / new wave" band.. and Danny is also Jack's singing voice. Elfman went on to be one of the most successful film composers (Batman, Beelejuice, Spiderman, etc).
This almost claymation almost a musical is absolutely 100%, stop-motion animation which is claymation and absolutely 100% a musical.
Also as far as I know... Charlie and the chocolate factory by Tim Burton is Tim Burton's least good movie by a lot. And Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is eternal immortal. Much like most of Tim Burton's catalog like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands and Batman.
Plus one to anybody recommending Coraline or anything else by the director of this film. Everything by that whole stop motion claymation studio is just phenomenal.
This movie is actually stop motion! Idk if its all stop motion but its really cool that people can make things like this!
Such a fun movie, and it'd been years since I've watched it. There's an amazing record called Nightmare Revisited in which a bunch of musicians cover the soundtrack to this movie, and it's full of SO MANY great tracks. My personal favorite: this bonus track from Tiger Army, covering Oogie Boogie's Song - th-cam.com/video/5WDr0C8590g/w-d-xo.html
There were literally 9 dozen faces made for Jack's face, each a different mood and all in-between.
Jewish girl? lol why is that relevant?
Because she probably didn't celebrate Christmas so never watched many x mas films
@@WillWatches Nightmare Before Christmas is hardly a Christmas film, it's a Halloween movie if anything
@@Germgeuse it's both
@@Germgeuse
Both celebrations are not allowed for Jews though as far as i know.
@@Germgeuse It’s both
There is a College Humor sketch, done entirely in stop-motion animation, that's about Jack going into the St. Patrick's Day tree instead! They re-write the song "What's this?" to accommodate the premise... It's BRILLIANT!
For Nightmare Before Christmas throughout the whole movie they used claymation except for the ghost in the opening song and if you look closely Zero’s nose is actually a jack-o-lantern!
the life that stop motion brings to the characters I still haven't seen replicated by any computer animated film, I get that these movies are super expensive and take ages to produce compared to just animate on a computer but the results are so worth it bruh I truly hope that the art form doesn't completely disappear.
There’s a talking skeleton, a wolf man, witches, vampires, ghouls, goblins, and a burlap sack full of bugs, but Zero’s nose is the part that doesn’t make sense for ya?
The plant with spiky leaves and bright red berries that is often used in Christmas decorations is holly. Mistletoe has smooth, oval leaves and white berries. _Loads_ of people confuse those two; if you google "mistletoe", half the images that come up are actually holly. 😄
A funny thing I noticed when he went to the Christmas world for the first time. During the "what's this" song, he touches the snow and sings what's this and then later in the same song he say snowballs.😂
The gothic horror imagery of Halloween town is delicious.. The dark humour is really my kind of humour.
Halloween Town in The Nightmare Before Christmas would be a fun place to live imo
Omfg the subscribe call out hit me dead on. Even I don't know why I wasn't, when I check your channel every week lmao. Love your videos, can't wait for more!
My all-time favorite Christmas film AND Halloween film, and a legendary benchmark for claymation. It's endearing how Jack's entire quest is spurred by the desire to experience something new, even if it ended badly. He is one of my favorite characters and gets great songs.
Stop-motion not claymation
I feel attacked when i realized i didn't subscribed. I was shocked too??? Couldn't click that button fast enough, love your reactions Nat
"I know I always say, 'subscribe if you want to.' But yeah, do it. Do it now! NOW dammit! Fast!!"
I always felt like this was more of a Halloween movie than a Christmas movie I’d say 70/30
Claymation is, in fact, stop-motion animation where the characters are primarily made of clay or plasticine. This was not claymation, as the characters were made of various materials. Jack's facial animations were done by replacing his head frame-by-frame. Each head was carved with a specific expression, and there were over a hundred of them.
There were also a couple of live-action shots in this movie, which by the standard of Disney's remake of The Lion King, makes this a live-action movie. 😆
I just saw this for the first time back in 2018 so all is good. So glad you got to see it.
Anna And The Apocalypse is also a good Halloween-Christmas movie, a zombie apocalypse during Christmas and it's a musical.
All the songs were written by the amazing 80's new wave musician Danny Elfman, frontman of the band Oingo Boingo that "retired" in the late 90s. Many of Oingo Boingo's albums sold several millions and where pretty huge in the 80's
Danny Elfman sang all the Jack Skellington songs in the film... but the speaking voice was Chris Sarandon (most notably as Prince Humperdink in The Princess Bride)
