His Assets frozen

Okay, This has taken FOREVER but...

I'm BACK!



What's This, from Nightmare before Christmas!

Song by Danny Elfman, and sung by Danny Elfman (he sung Jack) THis shows Jack when he arrived in Halloweentown.

This is one of my favorite movies, it is so fun and kooky! And incredibly time conusming. It took 10 days to film one minute of film. Despite how short (comparitively) the movie is, it is filled with texture because it is stopmotion. This is 3D without being cartoony.

The dolls used were only a few feet high, and sometimes if you watch long scenes you can tell the scale.

Some of the gags from here were worked into Christmastown in KH2.

THe poem that made the movie came from Tim Burton. He was watching a Halloween storefront being changed to Christmas. The odd juxtaposition made him write the poem.

Jack shows up some of Tim Burton's other films, such as Vincent, Beetlejuice, and James and the Giant Peach.

There are a few references to Batman, which Tim Burton had a comitment to direct at the time, in the movie. Can you find them? (they're not in the clip)

The hardest shot in the film is just before this. When Jack reaches for the door, you can see the forest behind him. Meaning they have to make sure nothing made in on accident.

The NIghtmare crew was nominated for best visual effects, but lost to Jurassic Park.
