Brilliant is the only word to describe this film. This is one of my favorite animated films, although not as great as the Toy Story trilogy. This film proves that an animated film can go a long way, or at least further than Space Chimps and The Wild, shame.....

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great movie. This might not look like a movie for you but I have to say that it is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen. It is filled with many songs that made me go get the soundtrack right away. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a must-see movie.

A visual splendor. Done on the cheap, this could have been a gimmicky, unsatisfying experience, but, as the result of considerable time and effort, it is an unqualified success. Full Review

This delectably ghoulish fairy tale, conceived by Mr. Burton as a full-length film made in stop-motion animation (think of the California Raisins on a dark and stormy night), has a clever visual format that keeps it streamlined and sharp. Full Review

A feast for the eyes and the imagination. Full Review

Flattened for years on cable and video, Nightmare has been resurrected in all its tactile glory. Full Review
