Rating: 4.5/5 --
The totality and tangibility of the world that Selick and his animators extract from Burton's lovely spidery drawings is one of the major achievements of animation history.

Alternate Ending
This full-length animated movie was shot in stop motion, with all the febrile, twittery fascination that the medium exerts; it has a magic-toy shop feeling, with unexpected objects stuttering into life.

...Delectably ghoulish....A major step forward for both stop-motion animation [and for Burton]...
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Visually a macabre knockout, this 75-minute fantasy boasts some of the wittiest, most vigorous stop-motion animation effects in the history of the process.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas has a grotesque charm, a pie-eyed magic.

Product Description:
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.
