The Nightmare before christmas is overrated. It's not a bad movie, but normies need to calm the frick down about this movie when I see so much movie for a 30 year old movie that never technically got a sequel, a franchise of any kind. For frick sucks, it's just as bad as Zootopia, but at least that got a mini 5 minute series in the middle of the movie that is on Disney+
The DMC clone on PS2 was the sequel.
>when I see so much movie for a movie
What are you talking about man?
>This movie didn't even get a franchise!
What's next? You don't like a movie because it didn't get a funko pop line?
>being this contrarian
Fricking penis doo doo head. Shut it
Zoomers don’t consider a movie a success unless it gets a cinematic universe with fifty streaming shows.
Their brains have been rotted by the MCU.
You see this a lot in box office threads too
They can't just form their own opinions anymore. Everything is in a weird meta context
It's a good solid musical movie that taps into the best of Tim Burton's style and jump started a good career in stop motion animation for the director. It doesn't need a franchise, it is already instantly recognizable.
Anyway, post songs, either from the original or reimagined.
Tim Burton's only involvement on Nightmare was writing the original poem and designing the characters. Henry Selick's the one that put in all the hard work and the two stop motion movies Burton directed himself were both mid at best.
That's what I meant by "Tapping into the best of Burton's style", it has Burton's art style but not his directing style which is probably why it worked so well.
Since you already posted "This is Halloween", take a "Jack's Lament".
>the director
His name is Henry Selick. I out of my wah to mention it because Tim Burton gets way too much credit for this movie.
I forgot the name which is why I didn't mention it, thanks for reminding me.
That's OK
His other movies really aren't thay great but he did do most of the leg work on Nightmare.
Burton only showed up on set near the end to throw a hissy fit when they tried to change the ending.
The story is thin (even as a kid I thought Sally having a "vision" to be stupid) but the presentation alone holds it up a lot
Why are Zoomers like Op so moronic?
Sorry anon, I'm 31. I think it's a good movie but I'm not obsessed like the rest of my generation
>Funko Pops
No I'm saying that this movie has like nothing other than the first film, nothing came of it afterwards. So why is it so fricking loved?
>Why is [media] loved when nothing else comes out of it
Sometimes things exist as good stand alone things, and that's ok.
yeah but the merch is a bit riduclous
It's the perfect storm of good thing using an alt style coming out in the time where alt styles were all the rage. No more, no less. It's like why Invader Zim blew up for example.
It's called a complete story. It's meant to make you feel an emotion and reflect, not just be mindlessly consumed.
Media can exist as more than a time wasting distraction
The story is over
Sure, ZoomZoom
That makes no sense here.
I'M THE JANNY THAT DELETES YOUR POST,
OFF-TOPIC THREADS I HATE THEM MOST!
I love the film but it probably is overrated (by today's standards). There's Jack Skellington merchandise on a shelf at Walmart 365 days a year and people gush over the film to such a degree that there is going to be some natural backlash. For someone getting to it fresh after it's been a fixture of pop culture their entire lives it's just not going to live up to expectations.
>you’re liking it TOO MUCH!
People should not allowed have opinions
This is a rage-bait post trying to get yous. The only reason they didn't make a billion sequels and tv shows and stuff was because Tim Burton didn't want to. The movie still prints money to this day with merch sales.
This movie is perfect and without flaw. You can't compare it to Zootopia, a decent if not flawed film.
I'm not disagreeing it's a fantastic movie, I'm saying that normies think it's the only "halloween-Christmas" movie out there. In no way is it bad, but come on, it's time to calm the frick down.
It single-handedly pioneered the sub-genera of stop-motion animated Halloween movies. There is literally no flaw. There are tons of other Halloween stop-motion animated movies and most of them are pretty good but non of them are the quintessential Halloween movie. Like seriously what movie do you think should takes it's place as king? Name five.
Even better is that you can watch it at christmas too.
Somethings up with Jack.

The merchandise is really excessive.
My neighbor has a two story tall Jack in his backyard. It's almost as tall as his house. It even has voicelines.
I can't believe a company would manufacture a two-story Jack Skellington, and I can't believe someone would buy it. Just all around, "Why?"
