Overview

Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning.

Viewing Notes

I hadn’t seen it since it come out, so I didn’t remember that it was almost 100% musical. I love the design, even if I’m not in love with the story, but I wish there’d been more speaking dialogue.
