Christmas Movie : The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas is a beautiful movie that is a visual delight & perfect for both Halloween & Christmas (i've always prefered to watch it during Christmas). It is a story of Halloween Town-a town filled with ghosts , ghouls , monsters & a boogeyman. The story is of Jack Skellington-the pumpkin king & of his love interest Sally-a rag doll made by a scientist who doesn't want her to experience the outside world. He is bored & weary of the sound of screams & the traditional scary Halloween. One day he chances onto Christmas Town-a shiny,& snowy world filled with colorful lights & happy faces & the smells of cakes & pies. He is so excited by the idea of spreading happiness & cheer,he comes back to Halloween Town with gifts & decides they need Christmas. But for that he needs to find out what Christmas means. But for that he needs to replace 'Sandy Claws' & sends out three mischevious kids-Lock , Shock & Barrel to kidnap him.

The movie is great with no boring parts. You can't help but fall in love with Jack & his pet Zero-a ghost with red Rudolf-like nose. It has a great story-line & songs. My personal favourite? The Oogie Boogie Song :)
