Nightmare Before Christmas

A very good Tim Burton film. It has a cute, juvenile charm to it due to the fact that the main character Jack Skellington (the Pumpkin King) is child-like and unaware of anything outside Halloween Town. (Please note that I did not see this movie until I was twelve, and have only actually liked it since 09's Halloween, so if my definition seems a tad off, that's why.) The animation is beautifully done, and the music is fun to listen to (except Sally's song... That was just annoying.) Again, the juvenile charm of the whole film is so endearing it's hard for me to imagine why people hate it that so many kids in their early teens enjoy this movie- it brings out the inner child that kids 11-14 know they need to hold onto, even though they want to grow out of it. All in all, an enjoyable film with a very creative idea, and a main character who is likeable, if a bit naive.
