The Nightmare Before Christmas
When Jack Skellington, the leader of Halloween Town becomes tired with the mechanics of being the cheerleader for his own holiday, he decides to create a new tradition out of Christmas. But everything he does goes deliriously wrong because nobody in his little part of the universe gets it. This movie is a great watch in showing how Skellington recovers from depression and finds passion again. The song “What’s This?” is simply an eye opener in the sense of how self discovery can lead to new pursuits.
As a very unique film for its time, this movie has it all. It entertains for two reasons than just one. The debate as to which one it celebrates more is moot.
