The director of the film, a veteran stop-action master named Henry Selick, is the person who has made it all work. And his achievement is enormous. full review

July 23, 2009This is one of the best movies of all time anyone who dos'nt like it obviously DOES NOT have a very good taste in movies AT ALL! And can't appreciate true masterpeices. Jack and Sally are true icons this movie is a classic. Everyone did a great job on it and so much work was put into it. The Nightmare Before Christmas deserves so much more than what it has gotten.
