3:45 someone in the animation department has waited almost 30 years for someone to get that joke. Also, yes this movie took forever to animate, if I remember correctly from the bonus features on the DVD I had as a kid 1 minute took about a week to fully animate. They also had to make entire heads of characters for all the characters different expressions. In-between frames they would switch the heads out instead of sculpting entirely new expressions for each face in case of reshoots. This way they could also have the faces "move" while the body was moving easier
Also: The Mayor when the idea of Christmas is first described: "What a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun!" The Mayor after Christmas goes horribly wrong: "I always had a bad feeling about this Christmas thing." Typical politician. Whichever way the wind blows.
I always wondered why Jack can't just do a Halloween themed Christmas in Halloween town every year? His friends would LOVE to get a severed head or a murdering duck toy!
So this and lots of stop motion movies aren't always Claymation but instead use handcrafted metal armatures layered with foam latex or silicone rubber body parts, wired clothing and usually replacement head pieces for facial animations.
Nightmare isn't a claymation movie but a stop-motion as majoirty of the characters are stop-motion puppets. Some things vwere made of clay though such as Oogie-Boogie's bugs and The Melting Man (whose head were made out of a special clay that melted when they blew a hairdryer on him, which they did in between frames to get the melting effect).
Back in the day, they had all these clay-mation shows on TV around Christmas time. "Santa Claus is coming to town", "Rudolf the red nosed reindeer", "The year without a Santa Claus" and others. They were all made in stop motion, and ran about 30 minutes each. (you can find them all on RUclips). Because they were made to entertain children, they were all musicals! "Nightmare Before Christmas" pays homage to those shows in Tim Burton's own dark (but light hearted) style.
This my sister's favorite movie! And mine too! It's from Director Henry Sellick and was produced by Tim Burton, based on his short story. It's a a fun Animated Musical Comedy Fantasy Film released by Touchstone Pictures, but in subsequent years, it's been released under the Disney banner.
So many moments in this film remind me of The Addams Family tbh - it would be cool to see reactions to those films on the channel someday (the live action *and* the animated ones).
There was a reunion with the actors singing their songs from the movie somewhere on RUclips(Ken Page sings the "Oogie Boogie"song and Danny Elfman, Paul Reubens and Catherine O'Hara singing "Kidnap the Sandy Claws".
Don't die though, it's funny because Jack is already dead. Great Recogi n Angelina. FYI you can also learn Jack and Sally's names from the Blink 182 song I Miss You.
6:26 The Holiday Doors remind me of the film Rise of the Guardians tbh, & now I wanna see a Halloween figure (i.e. Stingy Jack/ Headless Horseman) in the ROTG universe lol
Danny Elfman did just Jack's singing voice. The speaking voice was done by Chris Sarandon (who was married to Susan Sarandon, who played Narissa in Enchanted) because he matched Elfman's singing voice. As there wasn't a script done before the production started, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman talked together about the songs with Burton telling him the story of one scene (such as This is Halloween or What's This) and then Elfman would right away compose the song they talked about and he would present the demo to Burton their next meeting, which he apporved and then talked about the next song, rinse and repeat. Since the songs got finished first before the rest of story (which was based on Tim Burton's poem he did during the 80's inbetween animating The Fox and The Hound and his directorial debut, he hoped to have it made as a book or a half-hour special like The Rankin-Bass Specials such as Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, but insead it became this movie after he did Batman and Beetlejuice), they were the first to enter production.
Tim Burton actually came up with the idea for "The Nightmare Before Christmas" when he watched workers at a store taking down Halloween decorations and putting up Christmas decorations. Instead of taking down all the Halloween decorations first, they did it in sections. They would take the Halloween decorations down in one section and then put up the Christmas decorations, then move to another section. So, it had both Halloween and Christmas decorations up at the same time, and the juxtaposition of the two holidays together gave Burton the idea for "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Catherine O'Hara (the voice of Sally and Shock- of Lock, Shock and Barrel) and Glenn Shadix (the voice of the Mayor) both appeared in another Tim Burton movie, "Beetlejuice". O'Hara played the mother, and Shadix played the psychic medium, Otho. Every time I watch the part where Santa puts his finger on his nose and flies out, I kept expecting someone to say, "You mean you could have escaped this whole time?"
Fun fact, not only is Danny Elfman a great composer known for many Tim Burton films and more, he's also the lead singer of the 80s band Oingo Boingo; Famous for their song Weird Science, used in the 80s movie of the same name, starring a young Robert Downey Jr.
So first off, I just have to say!! I love how you decorated the background- even if it is just changing the colors of the lights!! Thanks for helping me get into the Christmas spirit!! Your content is definitely relaxing (yes, that is what I said) and thats something that I need to feel the christmas spirit!! Also, I didnt watch the whole thing either so please dont feel bad about it!! Seeing you enjoy this so much though makes me want to give this film another try!! I will watch it again when Im free :) And yeahhh, one of the reasons why I didnt watch this to completion was because I was definitely creeped out from a number of the scenes in the movie. Looking at it now, its definitely less creepy than I remember (and its absolutely as creepy as Coraline- which is also a great stop motion film) Speaking of that, I really really really love how you appreciate this film!! I definitely always did cherish claymated and animated pictures in general and seeing someone also treasure films like this is wonderful!!
OMG IF YOU FIGURE SKATED YOU HAVE TO REACT TO ICE PRINCESS IT WOULD BE SOOOOOO COOL !!!! that's the movie that made me want to figure skate i loved it so much idk about you but ya a reaction of that video would be so cool ! love the reaction to ive been loving the content
9:149:37 Real Steel was a great film, would love to see that on the channel someday too (plus 9:39 Men In Black, 9:41 Alice in Wonderland 1 & 2, 9:41 Meet the Robinsons, etc)
So a bit late to this reaction but the Pumpkin King and King of the Pumpkin Patch are like titles for Jack and unless I read it wrong being the Pumpkin King means you are more terrifying and scary than anything else in Halloween Town
What school did you go to? Mine only had gym, weight training, and dance, But yoga just seems like such an out-there class for High School for some reason😂 P.S. these movies take 3-4 years to make usually
If you really enjoy Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's collaborations, you should check out the Batman film from 1989. It has an amazing score, and the film has that dark and strange Tim Burton style.
Personally I think that the reason Jack doesn’t seem to have any care for Sally until the end is because he actually Does love her but knowing the Doctor made her and ‘owns’ her he tries to hide his affection by attempting to ignore her as much as possible. Just out of loyalty to his doctor friend. So the instant he realizes the doctor has given up on Sally he went straight for her because he always has loved her.
If...if you really think about it...this movie could be a great way to explain cultural appropriation. Taking something that isn't originally yours, try to make it yours, and you mess it up because you don't understand it. I >know< that's not what the movie is about
God, Jack is everything I want in a man. He a gentleman, tall, quirky, smart, elegant but can be quite scary when anger and really merciless when his friends are endangered. Like damn, Jack skinned boogyman alive. Imagine if a human crossed him. Oh god Jack would have used a spider web and attached it into their skin and ripped it off. Lesson learned kids don't mess with the Pumpkin King or Bonedadddy ;)
It’s more like Jack is going through a mid-death crisis 😂
HAHAHAH
4:06, it's composer Danny Elfman singing Jack's lines, while Jack's speaking lines are spoken by Chris Sarandon.

And every movement has to be done by hand. It's amazing how stop animation movies are made.
Danny Elfman was also the singer and song writer for the band oingo boingo
a detail i never caught as a kid: the mayor is a 2-faced politician
And the doctor has a duck bill, so he's literally a quack
DUDE. YOU JUST CHANGED THIS WHOLE THING FOR ME
@@hankbarcelona7314 AND THIS TOO
Also:
The Mayor when the idea of Christmas is first described: "What a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun!"
The Mayor after Christmas goes horribly wrong: "I always had a bad feeling about this Christmas thing."
Typical politician. Whichever way the wind blows.
Wow, I knew he was based on Jekyll and Hyde, but I never thought about that before.
I always wondered why Jack can't just do a Halloween themed Christmas in Halloween town every year? His friends would LOVE to get a severed head or a murdering duck toy!
halloween is not christmas.. that is the message of the movie ( not the major message granted) but yeah,, that is why
@@MrMathrim well, that’s WHY a Halloween themed Christmas could work in Halloween Town, after all they love Halloween.
12:41 finally someone doesn’t just say the kids are “mischievous” and looks at the big picture.
So this and lots of stop motion movies aren't always Claymation but instead use handcrafted metal armatures layered with foam latex or silicone rubber body parts, wired clothing and usually replacement head pieces for facial animations.
2:45, and it was nominated for Best Visual Effects, but lost to JURASSIC PARK.
I mean, you'd pay that. Jurassic Park's VFX were absolutely wild for the time and it still looks very good
To be fair, it's Jurassic freakin Park.
The stop motion in this movie is literally insanely good. Love The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Nightmare isn't a claymation movie but a stop-motion as majoirty of the characters are stop-motion puppets.

5:50, love the dog. He's adorable.
Those three kids (Lock, Shock, and Barrel) were voiced by Paul Reubens, Catherine O’Hara, and Danny Elfman respectively.
There was a reunion with the actors singing their songs from the movie somewhere on RUclips(Ken Page sings the "Oogie Boogie"song and Danny Elfman, Paul Reubens and Catherine O'Hara singing "Kidnap the Sandy Claws".

16:43 Makes you wonder who has the dirty mind: Oogie or Sally?
Danny Elfman is an amazing composer, I love his work on “meet the Robinsons”
great movie. I'm glad people still watch this.
IKR

6:00 This scene makes me think of the doorbell trap door in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas.😉

when i was younger i honestly didn't find it scary at all and like it was entertaining to me like it was so cool
React to James and the Giant Peach. Jack Skellington makes a cameo. :)
Loved this film as a kid
9:14 9:37 Real Steel was a great film, would love to see that on the channel someday too (plus 9:39 Men In Black, 9:41 Alice in Wonderland 1 & 2, 9:41 Meet the Robinsons, etc)

It's probably more fitting that the red light came up orange because that way it's half Christmas half Halloween
What school did you go to? Mine only had gym, weight training, and dance, But yoga just seems like such an out-there class for High School for some reason😂
P.S. these movies take 3-4 years to make usually
16:38. Your reaction was priceless 😂
this is such a GOOD MOVIE.!!!!!
IKR!
Your reaction was really fun.
That’s what I always say when I see a duck. “Who are you? What are you? You look like a duck”. I’m easily confused
Fun fact: Zero's nose is in the shape of a 🎃
Gotta love how she inmediatly goes Real Steel. 😂😂
The dynamic between Dr. Finkelstein & Sally kinda reminds me of Igor (2008) tbh lol.
Go listen to Danny Elfman's band Oingo Boingo. So many great songs. Dead Man's Party will give you an idea. He's a genius.
I love stop-motion movies
Awesome🙂!
You should do a reaction to meet the robinsons.
Fun fact: the creators confirmed that this is a Halloween film because the title is “The Nightmare BEFORE Christmas.”
Have you realized that Jack Skeleton is the boy from Frankenweenie and Corpse Bride in the afterlife?
Really ? I always tought he was the pirate in " James and the giant peach "
@@a.g.demada5263 I looked it up, and they literally used Jack Skellington's heads from filming this movie for the pirate captain.
@@Living_with_Narcissists oh really ? That makes sence
I love your vids
Ken page is amazing as oogie boogie.
Sally is my favorite
12:53 Ugh! Like regular kids… 😫😭
your next upload is on thursday right? hopefully stranger things 🙂
yeah !!!
‘Riiiip’
If you really enjoy Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's collaborations, you should check out the Batman film from 1989. It has an amazing score, and the film has that dark and strange Tim Burton style.
The amount of uncomfortness everytime she said "CLAY", is more immense than any currency combined.
Can you react to a movie called the Addams family with one of your friend
Personally I think that the reason Jack doesn’t seem to have any care for Sally until the end is because he actually Does love her but knowing the Doctor made her and ‘owns’ her he tries to hide his affection by attempting to ignore her as much as possible. Just out of loyalty to his doctor friend. So the instant he realizes the doctor has given up on Sally he went straight for her because he always has loved her.
Tim Burton wrote this movie though Henry Selick was the director
when are you going to do more stranger things?
If...if you really think about it...this movie could be a great way to explain cultural appropriation. Taking something that isn't originally yours, try to make it yours, and you mess it up because you don't understand it.
I >know< that's not what the movie is about
I'm not getting her messages
This chick had yoga in high school? What school was this?
God, Jack is everything I want in a man. He a gentleman, tall, quirky, smart, elegant but can be quite scary when anger and really merciless when his friends are endangered.

Less talking more reacting because I want to see you react
