Tim Burton's stop-motion animated feature finds Pumpkin King Jack Skellington thinking the grass is greener over in Santa Claus's holiday. He marshals all his goblins and ghouls to take over Christmas, but alas--poor Jack belongs to Halloween. An amazing visual and musical feast that should be seen at least twice to catch all the kinks and quirks in the nooks and crannies. Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.

"...Delectably ghoulish....A major step forward for both stop-motion animation [and for Burton]..."
- New York Times
"...A rich, inventive score by Danny Elfman..."
- Sight and Sound
"...Charming...A terrific package..." -- Rating: A
- Entertainment Weekly
"...A feast for the eyes and the imagination..."
- Chicago Sun-Times
"...First, go for the story. Then go back just to look in the corners of the screen, and appreciate the little visual surprises and inspirations that are tucked into every nook and cranny..."
- Chicago Sun-Times
5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] vivid background characters, underplayed by deeply felt relationships, priceless gags and thoroughly hummable tunes which inspire varied and imaginative musical sequences." - Empire
