    'Is Oogie Boogie, like, the worst in this town?' Probably my favorite line in this movie comes from the song 'This Is Halloween.' In (I think) the second bridge, they sing 'Tender lumplings everywhere, life's no fun without a good scare. That's our job, but we're not mean, in our town of Halloween.' It's a mission statement. Halloween Town is about the visceral, adrenaline-rush thrill of being scared, not fear and terror for the cause of misery. It's all about the fun of a horror movie or roller coaster. Oogie is different. He maliciously enjoys the pain and terror he causes. That's why he's an outcast.

    Chestnuts are totally real. They used to be extremely common in the US, and were even a staple food. People collected them in the fall and ate them all through the year, and tons of furniture and houses were made of chestnut wood. Every Christmas season up until the 1950's, it was common to see vendors selling bags of hot roasted chestnuts on the street. But around 1900, a fungus from Asia got accidentally introduced into the chestnut population, and it wiped out about 99.9% of all the chestnut trees in America. Some have survived though and the species is slowly being brought back to how it used to be.

    The thing is, that "finger on the nose" gesture has come to be associated with St.Nick going up the chimney thanks to that single verse in that poem, but that was not the original intention. The intention was not that touching his nose was his magic gesture to rise up chimneys. Putting a finger on your nose was (and remains, among some folks) a gesture of secrecy, taking someone into your confidence, "This is between us, know what I mean? Don't tell anyone." (Which of course the author does by writing the poem.) It's like a thumbs up, or a peace sign, or The Finger, or putting your finger in front of your lips to mean "quiet": it's a hand gesture with an established meaning among the people of that time and place. It was coincidentally the last thing St.Nick "said" before he went up the chimney of his own volition. But now, thanks to that verse in that poem, many people who have no reference for "a finger on the nose is a gesture of knowing secrecy" assume that it's St.Nick's "this is how I go up the chimney" magic thing. Funny how little things can take on such different meanings, through time...

    Chestnut trees used to be huge in the US. As a food source, chestnuts were almost used as much as corn. In the early 1900s there was a fungus unintentionally introduced from Asia that wipes nearly all of them out. When old timey Christmas songs were being written during the mid-century, it was from the point of view of people that still enjoyed them which is why we still hear about em in songs.

    It's weird that Tim Burton didn't direct it, almost everybody thinks he did...I certainly thought that for years. He absolutely influenced the look and vibe of the movie as the writer/producer for certain. It was actually directed by Henry Selick, probably because Burton never directed feature length animation projects of this size before. What I love about the movie is that Danny Elfman was the voice for the songs for Jack, the speaking parts were done by another actor. Danny Elfman was the lead singer of the the band Oingo Boingo, and has written nearly every soundtrack for Tim Burton movies...his best being Batman '89 IMHO

    I think it's fair to say that several key people contributed a great deal to the overall product. The fact that it's "Tim Burton's" Nightmare Before Christmas was just a marketing tactic that they liked to use during that time, I guess because they thought people wouldn't see the movie if they didn't attach a recognizable name to it. So you get things like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" or "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet". Obviously those movies were not directed by Bram Stoker or William Shakespeare. But Selick captures Burton's esthetic so well it's pretty forgivable that people are confused. A lot of credit also goes to Danny Elfman for writing all of the amazing music, which also helped contribute many of the story beats and brings the whole concept together.

    PS: It isn't that Sally is "afraid" to talk to Jack. It is that she is someone who is kind of "shy" in regards to expressing her feelings because of the fact that she has been living with an overbearing "father figure" who has gone out of his way to "shelter her" from the rest of the town as much as possible. Think of Sally more as the "shy and innocent" girl more than anything else, which means being "open" with someone is extremely difficult for her. Also: On a fun note. It was the part of the parents coming into the room and asking what Santa gave the kid, only to have him open the box and pull out a shrunk head that made me laugh so much that I HAD to see the movie. I took my mom with me as a special "night out" with my mom, and while I enjoyed the movie, my mom kind of didn't. Not for SEVERAL years later when the soundtrack was in my car due to my little girl loving the songs, at which point my mom asked WHERE the songs came from. I had my mom and daughter watch the movie together, and my daughter (who was 3 at the time) was standing in the middle of the living room at my mom's place belting out every song along with the movie. From that point on, this movie became one of my mom's "traditional year showing". So, I've seen this movie at least once a year for the last 13 years now.

    You have seen a few other Tim Burton films for the channel including: Batman and Ed Wood. Okay so to clarify a couple of this started as a poem by Tim Burton and Tim had worked as an animator for Disney since the 70’s and this film was set to be Walt Disney Animation Studios next film after Aladdin, but thought it was too dark and instead pushed it under their Touchstone logo and was extremely underperformed at box office and has since garnered a huge cult following so now it is under the Disney name. Even though it is a film produced by Burton and story by him it is directed by Henry Selick and Burton also produced one of Selick’s other Stop motion films James and the Giant Peach. The voice of Jack is Chris Saradon who was Prince Humperdinck in Princess Bride and his singing voice was the film’s songwriter Danny Elfman. The voice of Sally for both speaking and singing was Catherine O’ Hara. The voice of Dr. Finklestein was William Hickey who was Uncle Lewis who nearly set himself on fire in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Oogie Boogie was and still is my favorite character. Imagine being so hardcore that in a town where they love scares, even they think Oogie should be avoided. Plus, I think this started my love for musicals. Jacks songs are just amazing. Oh and I heard at one point that Oogie was a pillow case to carry candy? Candy went bad, now it's full of bugs? Can't remember where I heard it and therefore have no idea if it's legit lol loved the reaction! Might watch this now.

    Depending on what the frame rate of the movie is (animation often might use 16 FPS) this is between 72.960 (16 FPS) and 109.440 (24 FPS - cinema standard) individual frames. Not every frame is actual character animation and some are mixed with traditional cell animation but sill ... stop motion is hell of a lot of work. Also very error prone. Imagine if a light bulb breaks and the replacement has only a slightly different brightness value. You notice that immediately. Stop motion as a traditional art form seriously is a loooot of work. But also super beautiful if done right.

(which was based upon a series of SciFi bubble gum trading cards) and "Alice in Wonderland." (Johnny Depp played the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter the Red Queen.) He has made extensive use of stop action animation and his movies tend to the bizarre but a laundry list of major actors have appeared in his films. Many of his films would fit into Halloween. Very very gothic.

He’s said in interviews that it’s the most autobiographical of all his movies. And like “Nightmare Before Christmas”, it could arguably be appropriate for both Christmas or Hallowe’en (or anytime for that matter).

This line is just as Santa is leaving..."And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose." 4) And Oogie Boogie was the Boogie Man. 5) Oogie Boogie was afraid of Jack because centuries ago Oogie found Halloween Town and tried to make it Bug Town. Jack found out, battled and defeated Oogie and was crowned The Pumpkin King. Jack banished Oogie to that lower realm.

    Sally is a ragdoll(you can see her body is filled with leaves), but Finklestein is definitely based on Frankenstein. The speaking voice of Jack Skellington is Chris Sarandon(Prince Humperdinck from "The Princess Bride"), while his singing voice is Danny Elfman. "How long does it take to make a movie like this?" You should definitely watch some of the Laika films. A few of them show time lapses at the end of the movie for how the animation was done("The Boxtrolls"has a very good one). Oogie Boogie IS the infamous Boogeyman, from some semi canon sources. From a prequel video game("The Pumpkin King"), he heard about Jack being the scariest of all ghouls and came to try to outclass him and staged a coup to take over Halloweentown and replace Halloween(or Hallobeans, lol) with a holiday to celebrate bugs. However, Jack defeated him and imprisoned him under the Treehouse of his three followers. He's also greatly despised by most of Halloweentown thanks to his cannibalistic nature(some removed lyrics of Oogie Boogie's song has him planning to make Santa Claus into his "snake and spider stew"to add a little spice.)

    24 frames is the classic and widely adopted motion picture frame rate (before digital tried out 48 and more, which changes the look of the film.) But often the frame count in animation was reduced to 12 per second. That makes the animation a little more janky, but is sometimes used intentionally as a style choice (e.g. made partly in "Into the Spider-verse")

    Chestnuts are very real. They come from Chestnut Trees, which were typically huge and Chestnuts were a Major part of the diet for a lot of Americans. Unfortunately, an invasive species/disease virtually wiped them out. There are a few trees left in the wild, and some people are attempting to re-populate the forests with them, but, ya-know, trees. They take a long time to grow and mature.

    This movie is a lot of fun, but the level of small and big details is insane. The mayor being a literal two faced politician, Zero's nose being a Jack o Lantern, Santa having candy in his beard from being stuffed in the trick or treat bag, Jack using his ribs to play fetch with Zero- there's so many and it makes the movie even more enjoyable. Henry Selick, the animators, the actors, and executives that pushed for this movie to happen deserve all the praise in the world. Because yes Tim Burton did come up with original story, and had a good amount of input, but without the others this movie would not have been possible either.

    When I was little, I wasn't allowed to see this movie because my parents thought it would be too scary for me. When I was 10 or 11, it was playing on Syfy and my Mom let me watch it. It was at the end, so I only saw the part where Jack gives his gifts. 3 years later, I tried watching it at a Grandma's house and I was shaking at This Is Halloween. I got up to around the scene where The Mayor pulls Jack's doorbell when I decided to stop watching it. Less than a year later, I went to live with my Grandma who is now my guardian. I watched it a couple months later, and I loved it, and had no problems whatsoever. I recorded movies on those blank tapes at the time, so I taped the movie on TV and I would watch it often. That Christmas, one of my cousins got me a DVD of it(it was sitting on his shelf, and he didn't even know he had it.) I've seen this over a dozen times and it's one of my favorite animated movies. You can even take "animated" out of the sentence, I love TNBC that much. :)

    Ashleigh I very much enjoy your channel. (And “talk to you” as you watch these films.) this is the earliest response I’ve ever been able to get so I wanted to comment on everything and help you stay educated and informed. ☺️ Tim Burton created the concept art in the story years before the movie was made. But he did not actually direct it which is why it looks like a Tim Burton movie but doesn’t feel like a Tim Burton movie. The fish lady in the water is a female version of the creature from the Black Lagoon. (It’s one of the classic movie monsters like Dracula) Sally is a Rag Doll. Before the industrial revolution poor little girls had dolls made from whatever scraps of fabric the family could scrounge together. The backstory between Oogie & Jack is he tried to take over Halloween before but Jack defeated him to make it safe for children which is why Lock, Shock, and Barrel are trick-or-treaters and still “work” for him. he’s allowed to live in Halloween town but outside of town technically exiled. In the original Christmas story poem Santa Claus touches the side of his nose (which is a British thing of knowing a secret code if you will.) But that allows him to fly through the chimney. Also it took 3 years to make this classic. 🥰

    7:24 "What is a chestnut are they real?" Now that's a real Ashleigh moment. To be fair, roasting chestnuts on a fire around Christmas ceased to be an American tradition since the blight killed most of the trees after 1900, but it is still very much alive in Europe. Kinda fitting that Christmas land celebrates an idealized version of the festival that doesn't exist anymore.

On the bright side I have very little competition when gathering them.

    According to side materials, Oogie Boogie isn't even from Halloween Town. He is actually the former king of a town based on a no longer existent holiday called Bug Day. After his holiday stopped being celebrated, he moved to another holiday and has been trying since to take over. He is actually that one green bug that was left over after all the other ones left amd his only power is that he can control other bugs. As for the mermaid lady... she's based on an old horror film called Creature From the Black Lagoon.
