Can we all give love to the actual director of this movie "Henry Selick". He always gets lost when people talk about Nightmare before Christmas. Yes it was Tim Burtons short story and some characters, but the direction was actually Henry Selick 🎃🎃🎃

[@m4tth3w967]

Sally is voiced by the iconic Catherine O'Hara!

[@AlandaParker]

I KNEW THAT VOICE WAS HELLA FAMILIAR!!!!

[@lizmagu3189]

@@AlandaParker You should look up the live version of the actors singing the songs.. So fun to watch. They show the movie behind them while they sing live..

[@nataliebrunson1157]

You would absolutely LOVE Edward Scissorhands! It's a bittersweet and beautiful story that is also very aware of itself. That makes for a really cool combination in my opinion. I think it's peak Tim Burton!

[@diegofuegoyoutube]

This movie always warms my heart so, so much. It was the movie that (weirdly) my grandma and I bonded over when I was a little boy. She and I would watch it, multiple times a week, my entire childhood when she was raising me. I'm missing her this year, but this is like a little connection with her. Happy holidays!!

[@AlandaParker]

So sweet, so beautiful!! Happy Holidays!!! 🥺🥰🙏🏾

[@ApacheGamer]

One of my favorite movies. I was 7 when it released in '93. I do want to clarify something though. This was actually NOT Disney. It was Touchstone pictures, Touchstone pictures was bought by Disney a few years later, and with it they got the rights to Nightmare Before Christmas. This movie was made before the buy out. It was also made by the same studio that did James and the Giant Peach. The music is by Danny Elfman who does most of Tim Burton's music as well as the music for James and the Giant Peach.

[@christopherwall2121]

Touchstone was always Disney; it was a separate distribution company they created to put out more mature movies, like _Pulp Fiction_ This got put out as a Touchstone movie because Disney was nervous about this weird thing, and were quite surprised when it turned into a huge marketing machine.

[@angelt9862]

Sleepy Hollow is probably my favorite Tim Burton movie. Visually stunning horror. Merry Christmas Alanda. You have added so much joy to my year.

[@marshmallowbiscuit4553]

Girl your roasts against Finklestein are the best things I've ever heard 😭

[@KaiDecadence]

The Nightmare before Christmas is a classic 🥰 I watched it a lot as a kid, the animation was truly something special, especially when you learn that it was all done with hand-made stop-motion. One fun fact though to keep in mind the with the movie is that Tim Burton actually didn't make the film, he mainly came up with the concept for it as it was based on one of his poems he wrote and his drawings of Jack Skellington & Zero and eventually went on to draw the rest of the cast for the movie in pencil sketches while giving short bios of the characters. He entrusted everything else (the character figures and the stop motion animation process) to Henry Selick who was the overall director of the film. It's funny you mentioned James and the Giant Peach and Coraline because those are films that Henry Selick directed as well, The Nightmare Before Christmas was his big break that got him into the industry. The main reason why they put Tim Burton's name on the project was because at the time Disney thought his name would attract more attention since he already had some notoriety thanks to his films like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice. But yeah it was super fun to see your reaction to the film, your commentary is very lively. If I could recommend a future Tim Burton, definitely check out Corpse Bride, that's personally one of my most favorites but biases aside, it has a really nice story and a nice continuation of beautiful stop motion ☺

[@jaydisqus3353]

Great movie + adorable reactor = fantastic time. Merry Christmas and have a great New year everyone...

I really did like the scene at the end where Santa comes back to bring snow to halloween town just the sight if the two holidays/their icons saluting each other was a great touch.

[@davidpuerto1619]

I love this movie, but I think my favorite Tim Burton directed movies are Edwar Scissorhands (which you mentioned was on your list) and Big Fish. Both are such beautiful stories and were shot amazingly. If you haven't seen Big Fish I would highly recommend you add that to the list.

[@AlandaParker]

Thanks I def will!! And Edward Scissorhands is coming soon!

[@stephancraig]

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie of all time. I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it! 🎃🎄 I recommend you watch Frankenweenie! It's another stop-motion animation film so I'd also recommend watching behind the scenes on how they film them. It's amazing to watch and you have such a huge appreciation of the work that goes into making them! I always look forward to new videos from you! Happy Holidays!

[@AlandaParker]

Thanks for the rec!! Happy holidays 😊💛

Love this one. The claymation is and will forever be iconic. Tim Burton has such a distinctive style and I love it.

[@AlandaParker]

Thank you so much 😊💛!!

[@kenziej4301]

@@AlandaParker he’s telling the truth 💕

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Tim Burton actually repeatedly confirmed that he was not involved with Coraline. Which explains how horrifying it was.

[@christopherwall2121]

That was all Neil Gaiman.

[@christopherwall2121]

So, like a lot of animated movie characters, Jack's singing and talking voices are different guys. Originally, Danny Elfman had intended to play Jack in the dialogue sections as well as the songs, but he didn't deliver a satisfactory performance so Chris Sarandon ( _Fright Night_ , _The Princess Bride_ ) was called in to do all of Jack's dialogue. In the video game sequel to this movie, Sarandon does both Jack's dialog and singing. And I'm not surprised this gave you _James and the Giant Peach_ vibes; same guy directed both movies, Henry Selick. (If you go back and watch the latter movie, Jack has a cameo as a pirate skeleton)

[@bilife2010]

I remember being being 8 yrs old when this came out but watching this a year later when my neighbor lending our fam the VHS .. we loved everything about it… Great review girly Hope you had a great Holiday 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Actually the director is Henry Selick. It was just based on Tim Burton's poem and he was one of the producers.

[@TheDreamerExtreme]

It's a joy to watch someone watch this for the first time and still enjoy it. It's timeless! I'm such a sucker for stop motion pics, this and James and the Giant Peach included. For the longest time, I had a crush on Jack; who doesn't love an energetic Bone Daddy? LOL Fun fact, the director, Henry Selick, is doing another one for Netflix in 2022 starring and written by Key & Peele! It's called Wendell and Wild

[@screwthenet]

Glad you seen it. Its a shame when folks dont see the classics during their own childhood to the full appreciation of such works that require those youthful qualities and inclination toward wonder which make for the full enjoyment of such works. But again, glad you have seen it finally.

[@professionalvampire1]

I was a freshman in college when this came out. My roommate and I wore out the cassette tape of the soundtrack twice.

[@AlandaParker]

Lots of recs for this! Def on the list now! 😊 thank you

[@4leafclover133]

I am so glad you finally watched The Nightmare before Christmas. It has been my favorite movie since I first watched it. It came out when I was 11 but I was probably 12 when I saw it. We didn't go to the theater often. That was a rare treat. My Dad took my Brother and I to Walmart and we bought The Nightmare before Christmas on VHS. We wore that tape out. Lol. It never scared me or my Brother who was 3 years younger than me. We both have a strange sense of humor. So this movie was awesome to us. Still my favorite and every now and then I will paint a Nightmare before Christmas scene for my Brother Zach. Thanks for watching it and I am so happy you enjoyed it.

[@Manaxium]

[@luvthetube07]

Hi Alanda Parker. First of all, absolutely loved the jewelry...flawless! I'm glad you enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas. You cracked me up when you advised the character to get moisturizer for her hair. Tim Burton also did the the first serious (semi serious) film treatment of Batman in 1989. Hope you review it soon. Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@Armandthevampire]

Little fun trivia. Tim Burton worked for Disney as an animator (for instance on Fox and the hound. He tried to make this movie during those years but Disney wasn't having it (back then). After he left Disney and made in his own movies and after the smash hit of Batman, Disney came crawling and asked him to make it then. But by then he was too busy making Batman Returns, so he asked Henry Selick to make it in his stead. (The same Henry Selick that made James and the giant peach and Coraline.) Disney still found this movie too dark for their wholesome image so at first, they released it under Touchstone Pictures. I would really recommend Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow as well. Happy Holidays and a happy new year from Sweden.

[@Psycopathicus]

I would highly recommend the two Burton Batman movies - 'Batman' is still great; 'Batman Returns' is one of my absolute favorite films. They're not, perhaps, for everyone (though they certainly were popular enough back in the day), but they are classics, regardless, and there's an awful lot of current movies that would simply never have been made if it hadn't been for their influence. (Also, Danny Elfman - who scored most Tim Burton-related projects - scored both, and if you listen closely to the 'Batman Returns' score, you'll hear hints of a few of 'Nightmare's songs. It's well-worth listening to, anyway, 'cause it is GORGEOUS.)

[@marilynn7799]

This is one of my top five favorite Disney movies. And it can be a little triggering for some kids. My son was an emotional wreck when they kidnapped Santa. I felt so bad, I had to ensure him it was going to turn out o.k.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Fun fact: The head in the bass is none other than Danny Elfman. He wrote the music for the film.

[@momakesvids5704]

fun fact: kidnap mr sandy claws is sung by danny elfman (who did the music for this and a lot of other burton movies), paul reubens, and catherine o’hara!

[@sandrastover83]

I was 10 when this movie came out 😅 I even remember the trailer on tv , it showed the boy opening the gift with the head 😂😂 now I’m grown with two girls of my own who love the movie 💓 when we went to Disney in 2019 we all met Jack and sally 💗 we are hoping to visit Disney world again next year and we wanna meet them again , my youngest even wants to be zero for Halloween and dress up for the Disney event , she said I have to dress as Jack since zero is his dog 😂😂 I don’t mind since I adore Jack , I own so much nightmare before Christmas stuff 😆 When I’m told to put my stuff away after Halloween im like fine and then bring out all the Christmas theme Jack .. so I still win 😂😂

[@HeirloomMedia]

I recommend a Tim Burton movie called Ed Wood. The story is about a not so great movie director, Ed Wood, and his efforts to make, in the end, terrible movies. Drama/Comedy. It stars Johnny Depp, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Landau and Bill Murray. I also recommend another Tim Burton movie called Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The story is about Pee-wee Herman (Paul Ruebens) traveling across the US in search of his stolen bicycle that he cherishes. Comedy/Family. Thanks for the upload. Nightmare is one of my favorite movies. I saw it as a kid when it came out and loved it. I've always liked dark stuff and with Danny Elfman doing the music and singing as Jack it was a hit for me and my family. Glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

[@AlandaParker]

[@CarefulWithThatAx]

Lotta people clarifying that Burton had nothing to do with Coraline: let me give you some background. When it came out back in 2009, Neil Gaiman wasn't as big a name as he is now. He was know in the comics community for Sandman and in the fantasy community for his novels, but he wasn't really mainstream, so the studio didn't have confidence in using his name to market it. What they did know was that it was stop--motion, directed by Henry Selick, and was kiddie-creepy. So they HEAVILY marketed it as, "From the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas'. However since Nightmare was heavily marketed with Tim Burton's name, most people assume he directed it. That, combined with the similar tone is why people associate Burton with Coraline.

[@russellhoyt588]

I saw this in theaters in 1993, and it's been one of my all-time favorite movies ever since!

[@miriam8376]

My husband and I used that last verse between Molly and Jack about being meant to be on our wedding announcements. We love this movie so much--it's such a surprisingly affecting love story.

[@JW666]

Speaking of Coraline and James & The Giant Peach, this movie was directed by the same guy who made those movies, Henry Sellick. Though this movie is more of a Tim Burton-movie because he created, written and produced this movie. He was supposed to direct this one also, but he couldn't because of busy schedule.

[@actorattila]

You know what I appreciate the most from you, is not necessarily the reactions in general, but that your responses such a great vocabulary.

[@CaitDuffy13]

One of my favorite movies. I watch it every October and December! Two things: 1) If you liked the music in this film (because it is objectively excellent), there's an album called Nightmare Revisited where artists cover all the different songs. Amy Lee from Evanescence does Sally's Song, Rodrigo y Gabriela cover Oogie Boogie's song, I think Rise Against, Marilyn Manson, and RJD2 are on there too. Highly recommend. 2) As far as Tim Burton recommendations, if you haven't seen Big Fish yet... please. You must. It's honestly my favorite Burton film ever, between the soundtrack, the acting, and the storytelling. Happy holidays and thank you for putting your joy into the world, one snarky comment at a time! :)
