Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is about the main ruler of Halloween Town 'Jack Skellington' who starts to lose his way and he decides to go to Christmas Town, he then takes inspiration from Christmas town, with the decorations etc. He then ends up stealing all the Christmas presents from Christmas town and leaves his own presents that he believe they will like much better. He put Santa Claus in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for little girls and boys, although Jack Skellington believes he is doing a good thing he soon realises he was wrong.  This movie is a lot like the story of the Grinch however I believe Nightmare Before Christmas is done better as the story helps you to connect more to the protagonist (Jack Skellington). I prefer Nightmare Before Christmas rather than the Grinch because of the variety of the characters. As much as you do get a back story of the Grinch, I personally prefer the more dark theme of the Nightmare Before Christmas. Each character of the Nightmare Before Christmas have there own individual characteristics, such as none of the characters have the exact same look they all have something different that represents each personality. I love the massive difference between each world (Christmas Town and Halloween Town), the main difference is the bright colours used in Christmas Town compared to the dark, dull colours used in Halloween Town. However Tim Burton has still managed to keep the style flowing through each town. The animation is absolutely astounding, it is so smooth each joint must have been thought about carefully and appropriately for the movements needed. I would recommend this film but not only for the imaginative characters but also for the really catchy music used, the music really goes with the theme of the film and helps the audience connect with the characters more as you get to learn more about each character through the songs they sing. The music helps to set the scene e.g dramatic music for when something dramatic is coming.
