Oh!!!! the Nightmares

When I was about six, the only nightmares I used to get before Christmas was not getting the new Lego set that I wanted. Boy was I wrong about nightmares when "The Nightmare before Christmas" came out.
This movie spells out color and imagination. Taking in breaths of horror and exhaling candied gumdrops of death. This movie wasn't anywhere near the first Christmas movie, but it was the first incorporation of Halloween Holidays/Jesus day.
Who couldn't say this movie was pivotal. Of course it took America's population of parent hating teenagers (Emos) about ten years to realize how awesome it really is, it nevertheless remains a great movie. The pizazz, the music, the intricate designs of each character; they're all so gorgeous it makes me think how many people have committed suicide through the many back breaking hours it must have took to create such a piece.
This picture signifies so much meaning inherited in the format of this motion picture. A walking skeleton in front of snow top covered gingerbread homes shows the duality of the happy holidays. The mixture is fantastic as you have on one hand a celebration of toys, presents, and Jesus; and the other, well who knows anymore...something about witchcraft and satanism.
Anyways, isn't the face on Jack Skellington (The portrayed walking skeleton) just memorizing. Where even a character that could scare the pants off a little child could find comfort and warmth in, um well, an icy snow flake.
A great work, I definitely recommend it. Sure you've seen it a hundred times, or at least heard of it, but Tim Burton definitely brings a darker side to claymation.
