This Year Christmas will be Ours!
By: Hannah McLaughlin
Producer Tim Burton brings Halloween to life in the dark Claymation animation “The Nightmare before Christmas,” directed by Henry Selic.
It starts out in Halloween Town, at Halloween. Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, is tired of the same old thing. Sally, who was created by Dr. Finkelstein, feels the same way Jack does.
Jack finds Christmas Town and he loves it. Dr. Finkelstein (William Hickey) lends Jack some supplies to do experiments about Christmas. Jack decides to steal Christmas, but Sally has a vision about Christmas being ruined. Will it really be?
The special effects are interesting and different. Halloween Town is dark and dreary, but Christmas Town has white, red, and green, and was brighter and jollier than Halloween Town.
The camera angles are far and close up, and help see what is going on in the story. They are very good, and useful. They also help set the mood.
This is a good movie, but I would not suggest that young children watch it.
