How Jack Skellington Became The Pumpkin King: Disney Theory
Фильм және анимация
Let’s discuss how Jack Skellington became the Pumpkin King! With this title he’s unofficially the leader of Halloween Town who is praised, loved, and adored by the citizens he lives with. They fawn over him, listen to his every command, and respect him as the most frightening creature alive! But what allowed him to be crowned as king? I think Jack Skellington’s bones were ripped from the ground so that he could be the king of the pumpkin patch, and I think the entity who chose him was the Spirit of Halloween.

I always loved how casually annoyed jack was when he enters boogeys lair. Just laying down with the "hello boogey" it was the perfect confidence. He knew he was the pumpkin king, and he knew boogey couldn't stand a chance.

Thus, making him "The Pumpkin King"
There was actually a gameboy game called "Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King" which gave a version of a small backstory. One of the descriptions say Jack (implied to be an ordinary citizen of the town) and Oogie were rivals or something. Oogie tried to invade Hallowentown to establish his bug holiday and Jack defeated him and rescued Sally who was kidnapped for the first time (which is why she fell in love with him). The citizens apparently proclaimed him "The Pumpkin King" for his heroism and saving the town Not sure if it's considered canon but it's the closest thing we have apparently

It does support the idea that they both were properly alive once.
The only movie that can be enjoyed on both Christmas and Halloween, who we fooling holiday movies can be watched even if it's not one
I would be interested to hear you go into the backstory of Oogie Boogie and how he went from being the King of Halloween Town to being replaced by Jack Skellington, and being put under what I assume is a form of house arrest.

If I remembrer well, there is an old prequel vidéo game : The Nightmare Before Christmas -The Pumpkin King. That game explains Oogie´s situation and how Jack met Sally. And then there is a sequel to the movie, an other vidéo game : The Nightmare Before Cristmas - Oogie’s Revenge.

Oogies revenge that was indeed a great highlight for the PS2 version of the game. It was creative and indeed had a long story plot and the buttons you'd have to press to make jack dance with grace and fast movement during a boss fight scene. Not to mention the soundtrack that I loved it's a shame I can't get the game I've always wanted to.

Halloween is celebrated to honor those who died for their beliefs. As a mortal, Jack must have honored that hence why he is the Pumpkin King in his afterlife.🙂

I always thought that Sally was the embodiment of the Spirit of Halloween herself, which is why she was so drawn to Jack and loved him so much. I don't know, that's just what I always believed.
I presume uh he actually got some help from *his friends from the other side* which I mean he was indeed an Easter egg or part of the shadow demon crew of the Doctor Facilier
"something was keeping him in the world" -Isaac 10/10/2017 "the entity who chose him was the spirit of Halloween itself" knowing the spirit of Halloween itself chose jack that would explain what was keeping him in the world after being the headless horseman maybe the Halloween spirit (presumably Michael Myers) chose him so that oogie wouldn't be causing much trouble
Wonder if the Easter Bunny thought it was to Kiddy but when sew halloween something more hard core
Jack as the pumpkin king Easy in Halloween town I think they hold some kind of competition were who is the scariest of them all and Jack is the best at scaring people then he is known to be the ruler of Halloween town known as the pumpkin king
@Scooterbeerrun

Further, I think the competition is Halloween night itself and they crown a new one each year which is why we are introduced with the seeming coronation of Jack as the flaming pumpkin. Keep in mind Halloween did just end at the start of the movie and jack spent November and December trying to learn about Christmas and preparing for it.

I think that Jack Skellington is actually Victor from Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie and that all 3 are connected and document his life from childhood to ghost etc When Victor did eventually die, he somehow ended up in Halloween Town and grew in power to become the Pumpkin King
This video made so much sense. He couldn't do Christmas because he wasn't meant for Christmas. Though he was meant for protecting his assigned holiday as well as all others
I hope you have a happy Halloween🎃
All hail Jack The Pumpkin King and the true king of Scary Spooky Halloween. Happy Scary Spooky Halloween everyone. :)
Isaac I was actually kinda worried that you weren’t gonna do any Halloween-related vids this October. And I’m so glad you did it with this!
What’s real scary is that Jack almost had eyes
This was awesome! I am going to watch this tomorrow!!! Thanks for bringing the Magic as usual Issac Carlson (Wotso!)!

I would love a series about the other holidays. It would be cool to see that
Thank you for posting the video. I've always wonder how Jack Skellington became The Pumpkin King.
An interesting question ! Your theory is good and cool !
I literally just scrolled past your video called how Jack Skellington life
The GBA game Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King takes place before the original movie, and Oogie's Revenge took place after the movie.
Ur videos are amazing because I love Disney there my favourite kind of films
Can you explain Bambi and his fanchise

I love what you do
Awesome video Issac and I have a request if you don't mind please?
I always thought the Pumpkin King was more so title that Jack has rather than being an actual monarch as he's not referred to as your majesty or your highness everyone just call him Jack but also the fact he lives in just a house sure it's a nice house but it's not really a house you would associate with a monarch as well as the fact that the gates arn't heavily guarded either so I like to think that the Pumpkin King is more so a title he's given because he is the scariest resident of Halloween town and I guess the Pumpkin King is a title similar to being president i guess they now that I think about it it doesn't really make sense why his fellow politician the Mayor I would say he's only an elected official he can't make decisions by himself
The scene with the burning Pumpkin Headed Scarecrow suggests to me that Jack died a traumatic death caused by fire. When you may ask? It would be in October of course. He may have been a man accused of witchcraft (it would have been much rarer to accuse a man of this crime) or murder & burned alive as punishment or he had been a crop farmer whose best time of year for business was Halloween, since pumpkins were his main crop, a fire would break out on his farm at some point in his life whether it be by accident or deliberate arson caused by a jealous business rival destroying his living & causing his demise.

Yay my favorite Christmas/Halloween movie
🤩 YES! I love this movie. Seen it at least 6 times this month already 😂
Happy halloween, 2022 everyone! ❤️
Good one for Halloween 🎃 I wondered about his origin
Amazing
Jack saying "And since I am dead" doesn't mean that he used to be alive. Halloween Town isn't an afterlife, it's a manifestation of the holiday. Everyone in Halloween Town would understand that they're odd to others. Jack, for instance, is as immortal as the undead, but that's because he's a skeleton. As Halloween Town is not any afterlife, it's impossible that Jack used to be alive. The only citizens in town who might have used to be alive would be the ghosts.
Hey Issac you look good without glasses
I always wondered on the characters of Max and goofy who the wife and mother was. Like hints to their identity of maxes mother and goofy‘s wife if you could do a video on that that would be very interesting.
The game The Pumpkin King is all about this.
The nightmare before Christmas is one of my favourite films to watch at Halloween time because I love the songs and it’s a funny film me and my sister love it
Because you did a video on the relationships of Daisy and Donald and Scrooge and Goldie, can you please do a video explaining Gandra and Fenton's relationship?
Great videos! But have you ever considered the three trick o treaters children? Who or what are they? Where do they come from?
Goes to show how The Nightmare before Christmas is more Halloween than Christmas.
I love this movie It was the first Tim Burton movie I watched and I remain a fan to this day I was a weird kid and this really resonated with the little oddball that I was
Ngl jack would be scary IRL, he’s 7 or 8 feet tall.
Interesting question to ask you if you are able to make a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas what would it be about in your opinion

@@PUNISHERMHS_2021 ok so this is my idea that I also put in the comments of NC's review for this movie: let's follow the epilogue of the original soundtrack, where Jack and Sally are now happily married and have five children. It's Halloween once again and they're excited to go out into the Mortal World and do their stuff. Now for the villain: I'm aware that Oogie Boogie is a fan favorite but I feel he's been used enough so for this sequel...I imagine not ALL those kids Jack visited completely got over what happened that disastrous Christmas Eve. Not only do they find out he's still alive (he's already dead, duh), they plan to kidnap him, seeking revenge for that other holiday being ruined.
Hope everyone has a Happy and safe Halloween🎃🍭🍬💀🕸️🕷️🐈⬛🦇✨☺️

Did you notice the connection between 'nightmare before Christmas' and 'the rise of the guardian' ? Especially about the Santa Claus and Easter Bunny...
Groovy.
You should do a video on mother and father from tangled the series

Love Mr. Jack Skeleton!
Jack IS Halloween
Big hero 6 should be in mcu live action
Crossover episode with abitfrank??? The "Spirit of Halloween" could be the Grim Reaper who is seen in the opening number. Not only does the Grim Reaper represent the death of all things, including the changing of the seasons (thus making him the embodiment of the Halloween Spirit) but it would make sense for him to have the power to ressurect Jack as the Pumpkin King
I believe the name of the Spirit of Halloween that chose Jack to rule over Halloween town & the holiday itself was Samhain.
Cool
What is Halloween town is the prequal to monsters inc?
There is also a book on how Jack became the pumpkin king, and believe me or not, before Jack was the pumpkin king, Jack was friends with oggie boogie, until Jack won a competition for the future pumpkin king, oggie unfriended jack.
THIS Is HALLOWEEN!!!!
This may be irrelevant, due to the game either being canon or noncanonical, but in the 2004 video game, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge, the very beginning scene introduces Jack as the winner of the award, The most Spines Tingled BY a non corporeal being. A non corporeal being being someone or something that is true essence that exists non-physically, whether as a soul, as energy, or as an abstract concept. This leads me to believe that Jack, along with all the other residents of Halloween Town are merely the concept and essences of the many different elements of Halloween, with Jack being Halloween itself. Halloween Town is place where the holiday can live and thrive as it's own being. And the same can be said for all the other holidays,
One time in his life he was actually a pirate one Jack Skellington that would explain his death but take that with a grain of salt

There's a graphic novel that's literally a prequel to the movie
So jack is something similar to the Guardians of Childhood, from Rise of the Guardians. Except his power is focused on dark and terror.
If I had to guess jack is the pumpkin king because of the Mythical character call Jack he was so tricky the devil was scared of him and would not let him in hell
