The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tim Burton's animated alternative Christmas story have become legendary, but I don't find it all it's been hyped to be. The animations are quite well done for the time it was made, but there's just too many scenes throughout the movie that doesn't manage to hold your attention.

At its best it's marvelous. There's some really genial scenes, both funny, dark and almost heartbreaking. Underneath it all there's a lot of hope, and as such it works very well this time of year. I'll definitely return to it again, and maybe then it'll get a tighter grip on me as well.
