Quotaions from The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas is an animated family-fantasy film about Jack Skellington as he tries to bring Christmas to his Halloweentown. This film is seen as one of the best Christmas movie animations of all-time. Of course, it is a claymation and not a true animation. Amazing, right? It's a favorite among many. Directed by Henry Selick. Based on the story by Tim Burton. Starring the voices of Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, and Catherine O'Hara. The movie was nominated for the Oscar award for Best Visual Effects.
