In arranged marriages, they don't let the couple see each other until the actual wedding for fear they'd chicken out beforehand. That's where the "bad luck to see each other before the wedding" superstition comes from.

[@samandmariachannel]

Oh interesting, I never knew that 😊 - Sam

[@celesterodriguez6280]

whooaa that’s honestly scarier!!

[@caitlin329]

I mean, this is specific to particular cultures/time periods/circumstances. Mostly throughout history arranged marriages haven't been quite as strict about things like that as people imagine. It's interesting.

[@StoryMing]

No, my read is that the reason Victor agreed to marry Emily IS exactly because he lost hope over Victoria. And yes, he has come to care about Emily- as a friend. There is nothing left for him to go back for, so he figures he may as well stay and at least try and make her happy. … Out of his own heartbreak he is attempting to extend a kindness. And to his credit, having given his word he is prepared to keep it, even at the cost of giving up an unexpected second chance to wed the girl of his dreams.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I've always had and always will have an undying respect and fascination for stop-motion. I know animation is hard in all its forms, but stop-motion seems especially time-consuming. It deserves more respect and appreciation.

[@samandmariachannel]

I'm not a fan of stop-motion, but I can definitely respect the craft 👌 - Maria

[@SamSeth1996]

⁠same here I do like a lot of his movies!

[@videohistory722]

Fun fact: this movies stop motion animation is so good, people were convinced it was actually CGI. And Tim Burton was super offended by this, because he's proud of the art of stop motion, so when he made Frankenweenie, he really held back on it ON PURPOSE so they could tell it was stop motion.

[@samandmariachannel]

I'm so keen to rewatch Frankenweenie, loved that one too. I'm not a fan of stop-motion, but I love these two movies, and I like The Nightmare Before Christmas. I wonder if it's stop-motion or if it's other people's styles that I don't like. I find Coraline very creepy and nauseating, I just can't watch it even if I'm interested in the story - Maria

[@videohistory722]

@@samandmariachannel Try Wes Anderson! Visually stunning!

[@katherinec1153]

@@samandmariachannel If you wanna try some non-Burton stop motion, highly recommend Kubo and the Two Strings! Its by the same studio who did Coraline, but a completely different vibe and theme.

[@SamSeth1996]

I like coraline cuz they have references to my home state.

[@SamSeth1996]

One thing I like about this channel…. Is that Maria and Sam are kind I was just looked down for having an opinion. Here I feel like I can and have a voice here. I’m trying not to cry.😥

[@HwangMaeLynn]

Emily is from an old wealthy family hence why she was classically trained. Her parents rejected LB but he seduced her anyways, so she stole from her family i.e. jewels and gold. He murdered her in the woods. LB started poor and has an expensive taste. By the time he has his eyes on Victoria, he's already spent the remaining money. Unbeknownst to him, her family had sqaundered their fortune as well.

[@videohistory722]

Danny Elfman sang for Bonejangles. They spent a long time trying to find someone, but no one was perfect, so Danny just went, "Fuck it, I'll do it."

[@samandmariachannel]

oh nice! Sounded great 👍 - Maria

[@Pushing40onBlitz]

Yup, and then lost his voice for a day or so, doing that raspy "Bo Jangles" sound.

[@Inna_98]

52:56 I've always found this to be such a badass moment for Emily, she pulls out the sword right from where Lord Barkis stabbed her and points it right at him

[@haunted_muffin]

Right?!? That scene is badass it just makes me love Emily arch more and more.

[@panchifloriteciadupetalonica]

*_LOVE IT TOO!!_* _It's like she's saying: "now I'm not a victim"._

[@sk8terGrlM]

For context: Old Money/Old Rich means you're noble blood. You have some connection to the royal family no matter how small. That normally comes with money, and that means anyone outside that culture is beneath you. New Money/New rich means you aren't a noble, but you earned enough money to pass for noble. But you're still looked down on because you're not noble blood. Sometimes, there are cases where Old Money loose their funds and can't sustain their lifestyle so their marry New Money. And New Money want the title, prestige, and power that Old Money can have so they marry Old Money.

[@krose6451]

Old money verses new money is actually more simple than that. Old money means generations raised in wealth and new money is a family thats only recently come into it. How much of a fortune it takes over how many generations to qualify comes down to opinion. It is true that in the old days in countries with such things there tended to be some connect to nobility in old money families but it wasnt a requirement. There is the obvious thing of being nobility who tend to marry nobility can help you make/keep/inherit money. Then there were situations like shown in the film where nobility wanted a match with money and those with money wanted statis so even new money could get noble blood into the family line. Going on from that. Sam asked something like "how can you be old money if you dont have money." The answer to that in the old days up to present day is basically social currency and all the advantages of generational wealth. For a long time having any kind of connection to nobility would open doors and get you looked at a certain way. Even without nobel blood old money means generations with wealth who spend their lives socializing with, working with, or going to school with people with money/standing/influence so even if they ended up loosing funds those connections can be leveraged for opportunities to get it back, have some influence, and take advantage of name recognition especially if you keep it quiet that you're low on funds until more funds are gained. More than that "broke" looks different to the top 1% than how most of us would define it. There is a video from Ellie Dashwood here on youtube, "Is The Bennet Family Poor?" which explores and explains this topic through the lens of Pride and Prejiduce.

[@erikbyrge2024]

Fun Fact The Flim had 55 Week shoot and 109,440 Individually Animated frames set up and Flimed!

[@rebajoe]

18:18 And remember the plan was to elope, there's the line: "They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight." So her family doesn't know Emily's dead,(chances are nobody from wherever she was from does) probably think she's still out there, having run off to marry some stranger they disproved of, with their family jewels/some of their gold now missing. Not only that, but that's the last that Emily ever sees of her family after that.

[@spikejr3113jr]

For most people nightmare before Christmas is their favourite Tim Burton movie, but this is my favourite Tim Burton movie. Tim Burton actually got upset that people thought he used CGI and not stop motion for this movie, so in his next stop motion movie Frankenweenie he made the stop motion less fluid so no one would say it was CGI. Also Tim Burton said he wanted the living world to be dark and depressing and the land of the dead to be more bright and a party to contrast each other and to be a statement on the Victorian era.

[@neydaa_]

My favorite too! I probably watched this one about 50 times on dvd when it first came out. It’s very special to me. The ending with the butterflies is my favorite part. I cried the first time I saw it.

[@caitlin329]

I don't think Nightmare Before Christmas really counts as Burton, anyway. (Probably what I like about it tbh 😅 as a lover of a few TB projects)

[@toritarolli3861]

When sam says "She does wanna experience your brains just not by ingesting" 😅 forever how I will explain wanting to get to know someone

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Stop Motion by far is my favorite type of animation. As an animator its the most impressive thing ever, all stop motion movies that you have seen took more then six years to make. Tireless, meticulous work not only for moving and photographing the characters for each frame, but also making EVERYTHING that shows up in screen. Its hard to think about but the floors, tiny paintings, tea cups, piano, fish, cob webs, cabinets, trees were all physically made by humans. There are people who sow the clothes for characters you see on screen that are just slightly bigger then the palm of your hand. Its just such an insane effort that it is incredible any stop motion exists at all!

[@deonaustin9575]

Tim Burton's imagination is unique, both gothic and delightful at the same time.

[@samandmariachannel]

Very much agree! - Maria

[@besupaaa]

Stop motion is absolutely gorgeous. Its truly a labor of love.

[@josejuarez3515]

I might be wrong but people thought this movie was animated because of how smooth it was and Tim Burton hated that and made his next film frankenweenie feel more stop motion

[@samandmariachannel]

That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. I loved Frankenweenie, and I don't like stop-motion 😄 or at least I think so, base on other stop-motion movies - Maria

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Yes, it was so smooth people thought it was 3D animation!

[@Fan_Girl-xd8wy]

[@samandmariachannel]

Thank you! We appreciate it 😊

[@chillindj_]

you should watch Coraline and see if you will like that stop motion

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

What I love about this movie: A) i want to say these vows at my wedding. B) the connection Victor shares with Emily and Victoria. C) the contrast of top world and the below world. I think it is interesting seeing how we fear death, but in this movie, they are full of life and having more fun. D) emily’s character development. I am glad she was able to get justice in the end and move on and be free. While I did ship Victor with Emily, I am glad she realized her actual need was to be free and didn’t need to be a wife like she originally wanted. E) how patient and understanding Victoria was. While she is a static character, she didn’t need to change. You can see with every good quality that she has, why Victor loved her to begin with. F) and lastly, for this post, it did make me appreciate stop motion with the technology we have now. At first, I never gravitated towards it but Tim Burton and movies like ParaNorman allowed us to see everything someone can do with it .

[@marianatorres7971]

Love Maria’s outfit and 💄 💜

[@samandmariachannel]

Thanks! I loved it too 😋 - Maria

[@19Rena96]

I love this movie♥ There are so many cool stop motion movies like Kubo, Coraline, Paranorman,Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and all of them deserve more attention!

[@3O23-o8i]

I love the scene during the actual rehearsal where victor can’t get the candle to light and Victoria helps him it’s really sweet

[@samandmariachannel]

Agreed 😊 - Maria

[@mpatient133]

The restaurant in Monsters Inc was also named after the stop motion animator, Ray Harryhausen.

[@aliyahpulido953]

7:30 Amosdoll did a video on the accuracy of the piano playing in this movie, and it seems it IS true to life (and death 😂)

[@toritarolli3861]

If you ever watch the behind the scenes for this movie, its absolutely incredible to see the whole process of the claymation frame by frame

[@Pushing40onBlitz]

Ray Harryhausen is a legend and trailblazer in stop frame animation, with classics such as Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts. If you haven't seen Jason and the Argonauts, I highly recommend it as a classic. To this day, I still think it has the BEST animated skeletons. They looked evil, and stop frame animation gave then a little on the shaky, rickety movement that it seems a skeleton would have.

[@cami.lizzie]

I'm such a sucker for Tim burton shit haha. corpse bride is one of my favorites from him. you guys should definitely do more Tim burton movies like Edward scissorhands, Beetlejuice, dark shadows, etc.

[@emmabennet888]

I am obsessed with Maria's outfit + lipstick + earring combo, it is 🔥🔥🔥And Sam's matching purple-black sweatshirt is 🤌 y'all not only matched your outfits with each other but also with the movie color palette?? 😍👏👏well done.

[@samandmariachannel]

Thank you 💜 - Maria

[@kylasworldview1]

And, Sam, remember that Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter were longtime collaborators with Johnny Depp. For example, they all did the movie Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Tim Burton has a very distinctive style, don’t you think?

[@haunted_muffin]

Maria Oh my gosh your outfit and makeup is so great!!! I love that you guys kind of match the theming for the movie. Very on point. Love to see more !

Tim Burton also Directed Stop-Motion Classic The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993! 12 year's Before This movie came out in 2005!.

[@samandmariachannel]

He sure did. I like it, but I think I like this one and Frankenweenie better 😊 - Maria

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Actually he did not, the film was falsely accredited to Tim Burton, he has almost nothing to do with it, the person who directed it was Henry Selick, same director as Coraline.

[@VforVendettas]

​@@palomaroggeri8680 Henry Selick also directed James and the Giant Peach.

[@RachaelTheRed]

​@@palomaroggeri8680the confusion stems from the full title being Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was titled as such because it was based on a short story by Burton. He was also a producer on the film.

[@9386AliG]

49:03 It’s nice to know that the dead have manners in church.

[@aliyahpulido953]

1:40 This WAS actually stop-motion, and pioneered multiple methods to make that animation medium better. In fact it looked TOO good, and people accused Tim Burton of using entirely CGI when he didn't. So on his next movies he made it look less smooth/choppier/more imperfect ON PURPOSE so people wouldn't make that accusation again.

[@nasjiaglenn1869]

Ive always wanted a mash up of Remains of the Day from this movie and Friends on the Other Side from Princess and the Frog. They have such a similar vibe

[@PsychoElou666]

Rewatching this movie is so good. I remember how I did not like it that much when it came out. But then again, I was an immature 18 year old just starting film studies and I grew up with Nightmare Before Christmas so I kind of wanted something as “good” as my childhood classic. Now though, after a few years, I realized how amazing this movie is on it’s own! And rewatching it in 2024 cements it being an amazing film 😻

[@rebecky5ever]

I love Emily, she's such a sweet and kind character.

[@nightshadewinter6915]

I watched this movie with my husband after we got married and before we left for our honeymoon. It's one of my all time favorites from Tim Burton.

This is and always will be my favourite Tim Burton movie and favourite stop-motion movie ever! The only one that comes close to it is The Nightmare Before Christmas😁 I just love any Tim Burton movie to be honest 😅 he is one of my favourite directors and combine that with some of my favourite actors, actresses and composers and it's gold for me 😊 But with this movie in particular, I remember that, 2 weeks before it came out in cinemas in my country, there was a private showing in my school (and I believe in all country's schools) for photography students (we can have classes in photography as early as 7th grade) because it's stop-motion and we payed way less than a normal cinema ticket (we payed like 1€ instead of the standard at the time 5/6€)...after that, anyone who went to the showing had to do a report on the techniques and editing used and use those to do a little short stop-motion animation...so this film is engraved in my memory 😅 Sorry for the long comment/rant 😅

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Everytime I watch this movie, I am reminded of another one. If you have not yet, I think you may enjoy the movie Victor/Victoria. It is one of Julie Andrew’s most famous roles. Another suggestion: paraNorman. It is another stop motion movie and it is hilarious and heartwarming.

[@RosieIfYouKnowMe]
