I really wanted to enjoy this movie. I'm sorry. I know there must have been a lot of work put into it, but it's disgusting. Not "scary," just gross in a way that made me feel bad. I didn't know who to root for in this movie. The main girl is nice but she poisons her creator, which I know treats her poorly, but what sort of twisted vengeance is this movie trying to show as "good?" The main character, Skellington, is sort of adorable with all his optimism. He's prideful, and in the end his pride catches up with him....but it doesn't make sense. He's tired of Halloween, he wants the joy of Christmas, and when he doesn't get it he gives up and is happy about it. Don't we all want the joy of different holidays? He doesn't truly get that and it doesn't make sense why he's okay with going back to the same old. Everyone else in cruel and terrible to each other. No one, no one, has consequences for their actions. It made me feel awful. Thank God I didn't see this as a child...it would have scarred me. I know I'm sensitive, but I don't think I could recommend this movie for anyone.

While this is one of the most creative films ever made, it is not necessarily my favorite Halloween movie. However, I do enjoy certain aspects of it, such as "This is Halloween, This is Halloween!" and the cute ghost dog, "Zero." I recommend that everyone see it at least once.

In a word; AMAZING. Not many films do double duty as both a Halloween and Christmas film, but "Nightmare" is perfect for both holidays! Tim Burton is pure genius! I can't fathom why anyone would call the songs in this movie "Horrible" unless they haven't bothered to really watch this film. This is a movie that both parents and kids can watch together. No gore or bad language here, but just enough "creepy-ness" and cheer to satisfy everyone!

Is this a Halloween or Christmas movie? Or is it both?

I watched this movie before it has always been funny when everr i saw this part in the camercal what did give you hunny scream we both laughed my brother and i and they said that the boy was 7 yeasr old i worth on my paper a boy is 6 years old so i was very close .

This is a musical horror comedy for children, with Tim Burton directing and Oingo Boingo's Danny Elfman doing the music. If that isn't weird enough for you, a skull headed dandy kidnaps Santa. I'm weird. So, this all makes it just that much more heartwarming to me.

One of my childhood favorites! I especially loved watching this around Halloween.

The animation is creepy, and even disturbing at times, but the music is surprisingly good. I also can't help but feel the Door Realm is an homage to The Magician's Nephew's Wood Between Worlds.
