His voice really brought the character to life, I can’t imagine anyone else doing Jack’s voice. Truly Danny Elfman is remarkable ❤

Danny Elfman went from the best singing voice to the best composer for this movie, Spider-Man movies and more.

Not sure if you know but he did the singing and the speaking voice was "Prince Humperdink."

the 4K recently released looks and sounds amazing, one of the best movies of its type ever made and its crazy that it was made in the early 90`s

My friends and I all bought the soundtrack before the movie was even released. Danny Elfman is amazing!

[@bethmccrossan6385]

He's such a great match for Chris Sarandon too. Like Ming Na Wen and Lea Salonga in Mulan.

My favourite singer and my favourite movie.

Danny Elfman es para mi Jack Skellington, su voz es grandiosa, es única. Debió también haber hecho la voz hablada de Jack 🥹😥 en la película.
