Sally, girl... stop poisoning everyone lol **THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS** First Time Reaction

[@SophieLents]

what is your favourite song from this movie? mine has to be This Is Halloween!

[@rachelkelly2293]

This Is Halloween and Sally’s Song are my favorites from this movie.

[@nicolasbaron4506]

What's This is very fun to sing because of how fast-paced it is.

[@MrAds1990]

That’s mine too I love it

[@JonEdelkampVoices]

Jack's Lament always gets to me because it's one of those songs that makes you feel for the main character. Just hearing how Jack is tired of having to do the same shit every year and wants something new in his life can be a very impactful moment. Like you said in that part, there's definitely been a point where we've been doing one thing in our lives, and we start to grow tired of it and feel the need for something new after a while.

[@melissawinn996]

This is Halloween

[@rockstarchick820]

I feel like people miss how touched Jack was by Sally's gift basket, and he talked so warmly to her when he gave her the Sandy Claws outfit assignment. Not a great deal of screentime is devoted to their budding romance, but I find their little moments to be well acted in both voice and animation. And Sally's questionable behavior is what makes her a part of a Halloween culture.

Sorry for you last

Regarding Jack’s feelings for Sally, it’s always insinuated that he likes her back but he himself doesn’t realize that he likes her (yet). When Sally sends him the gift basket he’s genuinely happy to see her and flattered by her gift, and rather disappointed she disappeared before he could thank her. Jack even gives Sally the most important job in making his version of Christmas, assigning her to make his Santa Claus outfit, showing he admires her talents and knows he can trust her. When he finds her in Oogie’s lair that’s the moment he realizes how much she cares for him. And even by the end, it’s not Sally who starts their duet, it’s Jack with him confessing his feelings and desire to be with her. Jack was so focus on Christmas he never realized his true happiness was in Halloween Town all along with Sally.

[@StoryMing]

Really, Sally was more “drugging” the doctor guy than “poisoning” him. The idea wasn’t to kill him, but to put him to sleep for awhile, *_because it was the only way she could ever leave the house._* Seriously, if he would let her get out and about now and then, I’m guessing she would probably stop. …I’ll grant you the stalker part, though.

[@SophieLents]

Yeah, you’re right

[@nicolasbaron4506]

Whether you love to watch it on Halloween, Christmas, or both, this film is an absolute masterpiece and I love it so much. The songs are memorable, the animation still holds up, the characters are likable, and the musical score by Danny Elfman is amazing. It's impressive how beautiful the scenery looks and how good the stop-motion animation is 30 years later.

[@SophieLents]

I couldn’t believe it came out in 1993!

[@a.g.demada5263]

Sally didn't want to poison the doctor, she just drugged him for going outside. And yes, Sally is the one who had good sense because after having that vision, she tried to speak to Jack for convincing him to stop because she knew it will be bad.

[@videohistory722]

I don't know if you're into music theory at all, but this film actually dabbles in it a little, with every time Jack sings, and when Sally sings. There's what's called the Phrygian stank note that they both hit when they sing. It's basically a note that sounds slightly off from the rest of the notes being sung in a lyric. You can hear it in Jack's lament, and Sally's song. It's used to show their connection, even on the most basic musical level.

[@LoveKillFear777]

Cool little fun fact! I didn’t know this before ☺️

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This is such a masterpiece! The stop motion, especially for the time is phenomenal, Jack's such a compelling complex protagonist, the culture clash of these different holiday is fun to see, and the songs are amazing, especially "This Is Halloween" and "Oogie Boogie's song."

[@christinejalandoni5919]

Patchwork Sally is a witch, which explains her visions and affinity for potions.

[@MrCOLBSTAH]

Every source I see says that Sally is a ragdoll, but I really think she's a scarecrow.. and that would make sense why oogie boogie likes her so much. All of the bugs inside of oogie boogie would really love the leaves..

[@a.g.demada5263]

No, she's really a ragdoll

[@GuukanKitsune]

The doctor's name is 'Dr. Finklestein.' And the mayor? He's 'two-faced.' And his name is Mayor Two-Face. They literally have a two-faced mayor.

[@JonEdelkampVoices]

I don't know why, but her reaction to the saxophone player calling Jack, "Bone Daddy," cracked me up.

[@gianni_hello]

I wont forget seeing this at the Hollywood Bowl for it's 25tg anniversary. The cast came back and reprised their musical numbers. Catherine O'Hara could still perfectly hit those high notes as Sally and Shock, seeing Paul Reubens (RIP) was unforgettable, and Ken Page had an unbelievable voice all these years later. Then seeing Danny Elfman come out one last time at the end to perform Dead Man's Party was such a nice bonus!

[@gossguy7947]

Sophie before the movie: "this is not scary, it's an animation" Sophie like, one minute into the movie: "this is nightmare fuel"

[@billfrantz1638]

Monster House (2006) is a spooky animated movie. 9 (2009) is another animated film that has some very spooky images and ideas about life.

[@videohistory722]

There's a version of Sally's Song out there that's sung by Amy Lee, aka lead singer of Evanescence. And Kidnap the Sandy Claws by Korn And This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson And What's This? By Flyleaf.

[@Natanural]

You said that stop motion is no longer made but that is not true, last year Guillermo del Toro won an Oscar with his stop motion movie Pinocchio

[@SophieLents]

I should probably check it out

[@princesslilyfromtheisleoft2649]

This is my favorite Tim Burton movie, and I absolutely love Sally! So glad you watched this movie. Happy Spooky Season Sophie! 💖🎃

[@SophieLents]

Happy spooky season to you too :)

[@DanGamingFan2406]

​@@SophieLentsTechnically, Henry Selick directed, but it is based of a poem by Burton. They just put his name in the title to sell more tickets.

[@videohistory722]

Danny Elfman was supposed to sing AND voice for Jack, but he wasn't that great at just talking for him, so they got someone else. So now Danny just sings.

[@beardlessdragon]

"They have the same brain. They will never fight." You don't argue with yourself, Sophie? :P

[@freedompancakes301]

Fun fact: Tim Burton was the producer of this movie. Henry Selick was the director, and also directed James & The Giant Peach and Coraline.

[@RG-gd3zu]

12:25 Are you serious? The rest of the residents of this city are happy.They like halloween. One Jack we have a poor unhappy soul that is looking for something new. He has to deceive others, so that they would do as he wants.

[@Kiernimbus]

Every time I stop by your channel it makes me feel so cozy. Love your stuff, this was no different!

[@supermoogle07]

“ I don’t get where his feelings for her is coming from.” Me looks at his options. “Nah I get it.”

[@Spacerangershack]

Tim Burton unfortunately did not direct this movie though. He was actually the producer for that one

[@allysanchez5630]

This is still one of my favorite Tim burton films since I was a little girl. Sally is definitely my favorite character in this. I love her and jack’s relationship in the movie and in the video games and FanFiction.

[@rachelkelly2293]

Same!

[@allysanchez5630]

@@rachelkelly2293 what’s your favorite thing you love about sally? I love when she tried so hard to talk jack out of his major terrible idea and meant well enough to care for his well-being. Because she loves him, even though he never noticed before until he realized why she went down there to save Santa from Oogie and the ending scene on the hill.

[@j.woodbury412]

Catherine O'Hara, who played the mother in Home Alone, was the voice of Sally, and Shock (One of the kids that kidnapped Santa Claus). Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) was the voice of Lock (One of the kids that kidnapped Santa Claus- the one that looked like a devil. Barrel, the one with the wide grin was voiced by Danny Elfman. He was also the voice of the Clown with the Tearaway Face and the singing voice of Jack Skellington, among several other characters. The Mayor was voiced by the late Glenn Shadix, who played the psychic medium, Otho, in Beetlejuice, which also starred Catherine O'Hara, the voice of Sally and Shock.

[@ashleygracia7957]

They are not dead, they are creatures like a goblin or a cupid 😊

[@questionablehumor2800]

My favorite holiday... any "harvest festival", food and drink is the answer

[@Crimson_123]

The clown scared me when I was little from that scene when he toke his other face off and the wolf scared me to deaf

[@lluviapacifica9601]

I heard that at the time when this movie was in production, Danny Elfman was having the same issues that Jack. So you can say that the songs were Danny singing his feelings through Jack. And he supported by his girlfriend at that time (who also worked in this movie)

[@nobleconsejera5278]

There’s still some stop-motion production. In fact, it’s so well done today that people think it’s just 3D CGI. I think it was Tim Burton who got upset for people saying that about stop-motion animation that they started making it look more primitive, more rough regarding the visuals and style, so people could differentiate it from 3D animation

[@questionablehumor2800]

If Jack is the most "Goth boy", that level of drama is necessary.

[@rachelkelly2293]

Also, this is a perfect timing! Because The Nightmare Before Christmas was released exactly 30 years ago!

[@Alehssandro-ok]

As a child I was terrified of this movie mainly because of the opening song this is Halloween lol a creative mind and sleepless nights

[@vanilla6326]

I used to wonder “oh why am I so deranged?” Then I realized one of my favorite movies as a child involved skinning the antagonist alive and then kissing in the snow

[@mehim2893]

What?!? Curiosity killed the cat has a second part ???? What was it? Saved by satisfaction. lol I love that.

[@BatmanFan76]

This movie is a Disney classic, and the best movie to play on either Halloween or Christmas. This movie also has some great songs, even though the only two memorable ones are “This is Halloween” and “What’s This?”.

[@wesmcinerny4524]

There's still some stop-motion projects today. Like that recent stop-motion version of Pinocchio. By the way, there's also a video game that acts as a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[@thevideoends617]

Agatha: she's one split end away from cutting her own bangs.. but in Sophie's case, she did cut her own bangs

[@Synark25]

A few weeks back I was watching a bunch of reactions to this movie, because I'd sworn to have seen a reaction by you and then couldn't find it anywhere. Was sad to find my brain just got the poster mixed up with an actual thumbnail... But oh well, it in fact has been a pleasant surprise to see you react to this movie at last :D

[@thebedking1]

It's a Christmas movie, just as much as "Shiny Teeth and Me" is a Christmas song. Lol

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

You know what unnerves people more than no lights? Two strobe lights, set to frequencies that aren't algebraically related to each other.

[@TheChrisJaynes]

For me, it's a Halloween movie. I watch it every Halloween as I'm handing out candy to trick-or-treaters.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Sophie Lents "If no one's told you this today, I love you." (Peter Monn)💙

[@namelessdemon23]

I heard there was going to be a live action of this, and Johnny Depp might be Jack. I also think the reason why Jack is so obsessed with the warmth he feels is because he knows it from when he was alive.

[@benjaminguzman8645]

Fun fact: In the soundtrack that's narrated by Patrick Stewart there's an epilogue where Santa Claus comes back to Halloweentown years later and finds out that Jack and Sally had "four or five skeleton children"

[@brianshepherd9740]

Hello. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this movie, and I'm still continuously supporting you because your content is absolutely amazing, and also because I enjoy watching your reactions to different movies.

[@AdamFishkin]

Your hair is fine, Sophie. Since you asked, my favorite holiday is Diwali. Your reactions are once again a roller coaster. This film tends to take people off guard with its simplicity (at least compared to other animation from the 90s), but you still latched onto the deeper psychology.

[@Oliver-lu6u]

Dear Sophie, I love the movie nightmare before Christmas and I love all of your videos. Hope you get 1 million subscribers one day or because you deserve it. Sincerely, Oliver .❤🦄🌈♥️

[@chrisandrew6633]

You're right, it's kind of odd that Jack seems to fall for Sally out of nowhere. (But then again, it's been a while since I watched this whole movie, maybe there were signs.)

[@rachelkelly2293]

Finally! I love this movie! I’ve been waiting for this reaction! Thank you Sophie! ❤

[@eurofalke6804]

[@nisarojas2869]

[@akurokushifangirl3519]

Aside from DelToro Pinocchio, there's a movie called "Seal Team". It is technically CG, but the characters move as if they were stop motion. It is a very beautiful and hilarious movie that deserves more attention! If you can, please make a reaction of It, Sophie!

[@robertscullin3824]

Favourite song is either this is Halloween or Oogie Boogie’s song favourite holiday is also Halloween which is also my birthday 🥳 love your reaction

[@mevb]

Well, Sally have put Deadly Nightshade (which is poisonous to us humans and some animals as well, if not all) in his tea three times prior to "poisoning" the soup. It seems like it's just like sleeping pills in our own world, though he did get a headache from that one, kinda like he was hungover.

[@saklee1777]

[@chadatchison145]

Thanks for the video Sophie! :)

[@abbij2009]

I never really liked this movie when I was younger, but now I might rewatch it and see how I feel about it. I do LOVE the stop motion style like Coraline

[@BellevueGhostbuster]

Everyone debates between if it's a Christmas or Halloween movie. Really it's a transition movie, the move between both of the holidays. Tim Burton even said that when he wrote the original poem that then turned into the movie, that he was inspired when watching stores transitioned their decorations from Halloween to Christmas. Watching it through the Halloween season, to Thanksgiving here in the US, to Christmas is how my family and I watch it. For the soundtrack, I am always hard-pressed to pick a fav. It ebbs and flows which I like more. Depends on the day I'm having i guess. :D

Now between this and Coraline you have two Henry Selick movies under your belt! Also Oogie Boggie's Song is probably my favorite.

[@kadenharley8232]

If you love stop-motion, you should seriously watch Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 🤥 and Wendell & Wild 💀☠️!!

[@matthewcampos1774]

Your reaction was well worth the looooong wait haha glad you enjoyed the movie and if you're interested in more stop motion animated films, I recommend Corpe Bride and Coraline for Halloween vibes. And Fantastic Mr Fox for a chill fun watch

💀👍 This is the best reaction to this film I've seen so far. 👻 Besides this, "The Corpse Bride" and "Caroline," there are two other really good movies that I can think of which also feature this type of electronically assisted stop-motion animation: "Paranorman" (2012), which is also a great Halloween film and "James & The Giant Peach" (1996), which also features a lot of catchy music, courtesy of Randy Newman.

I saw this when I was in my 20s on the big screen. I imagine I only went to see it because of the Tim Burton name. I doubt I would go to a movie just because it is Tim Burton these days. But I remember when "What is This" came on I just thought it was magic. So that has to be my favorite from the movie. Partly it is the magic of it, but it is also some of the cynical asides that don't tend to make it in to people's reactions like his surprised "And absolutely noone's dead".
