Premise
A claymation musical about Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, who means well when he takes over Christmas.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall loving this film. While he did not direct, Tim Burton's fingerprints were vividly everywhere in this visually imaginative universe. In terms of music, I consider this Danny Elfman's masterpiece. There was also great voice work and stellar animation. All these great things negated a so-so story. Overall, a haunting and charming musical. Probably not to scary for youngsters.
What I would change
Nothing.
