Movies and Entertainment; Part two: The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie by Tim Burton. In my opinion the film went a completely different way from every other Disney Movie. This movie is about Jack the Pumkin King who lives in Halloween Town and is respected by everyone, but he feels saddened that he goes through the same things every year. Scares just werent what he wanted anymore he wanted more. Jack with his dog zero stumbled on a forest with different holidays for doors. He went through the christmas door and came across Christmas town. The other holidays have no idea of eachother and from this scene in the movie comes the famous song “Whats This?” “Whats this? Whats this? There's color everywhere What's this?There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair What's this?” Which are just a few short lyrics from the song that many bands have played from the movie. The lyrics were provided by lyricsbox.com. Above is a video of the song "What Is This?"Burton sees Santa in this town and decides that his town should also celebrate this holiday in fact he should be Santa this year not Jack the Pumkin King. Jack kidnaps Santa with the help of three children and then Oogie takes Santa from them. Jacks plans terribly go wrong and Santa is rescued from Oogie by Jack and Sally (his love interest in the film) and the holiday is saved at the last minute. Jack learns that he should stick to his holiday and his town but could still celebrate Christmas with his town. This Is just my short  summary of the movie in my perspective.
