Leave your thoughts about The Nightmare Before Christmas.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranPart avant-garde art film, part amusing but morbid fairy tale, it is a delightfully ghoulish holiday musical that displays more inventiveness in its brief 75 minutes than some studios can manage in an entire year. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloWonderfully dark and moody children's Halloween tale that gently stirs all of the required elements of humour, musical charisma, children's imagination and amazing special effects in a successful simmering pot of entertainment. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThis brilliant combination of stop-motion animation, three-dimensional sets and superbly imaginative graphics, brings animation to new peaks. Burton, whose inventive, delightfully haunted mind put so much zest into "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands," has done it again. |
| Radio TimesAlan JonesOnly the deliciously demented imagination of Edward Scissorhands director Tim Burton could have come up with such a dark vision of the holiday season. |
| Common Sense MediaLiz PerleTim Burton magic with just a touch of scariness. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...endlessly delightful, even as it deals in icky bugs and severed limbs. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreA masterpiece. A work of grand visual wit, clever songs, funny gags and genuine pathos, it is perhaps the greatest stop-motion animated film ever, a painstaking style of model animation that computers have all but completely done away with. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO tom divertidamente sombrio da narrative, associado a uma direção de arte magnífica e à ótima trilha de Elfman, acaba resultando num conto de fadas que deve tanto aos Grimm quanto ao Expressionismo Alemão. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie Wafflefeels like it should have always been in 3-D. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe story, characters, music, and look of the film come together to form one complete, unified work with a consistent tone and feeling. |
