The Nightmare Before Christmas Sountrack #19 Closing

Track 19 with yet another appearance by Patrick Stewart, who narrates as Santa Claus. i think this was quite clever how he tells us what happends after the crhistmas fiasco, when he visits Jack and sees that he has a family of his own, and reminds him of the night when he tries to do Santa's job.
this is used for entertainment purposes only, all credit goes to Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and Henry Selick.

. . . "wouldn't you?" Best ending EVER!

[@Hannah-xj5gs]

I know right, it should've been included in the end of the movie.

[@gunstrokethecybertronian4889]

Hannah Borrell Totally would have been something great to see if the thought were to be made a reality

[@lolabones8669]

For those who are asking why you haven't heard this, it's a narration. It was supposed to be at the end of the movie but they ran out of time to do the actual clip and animation. So they did a voice narration (which is above) and released it.

[@ComicBookHangover]

This was part of the original release of the movie and early video releases. The final scene we hear here even shows Jack and Sally with their kids. I was never able to find out why they changed the narration and cut the ending.

[@gooshinggrannythesoorigina3842]

@@ComicBookHangover That is not true lmao, this was intended to be part of the movie but was cut but remained on the soundtrack.. The original release, just like every release since then, has ended on Jack and Sally in the moonlight, then credits. There was never a release with this scene as part of the film.

[@ComicBookHangover]

@Gooshing Granny The So Original Commentator except there was. Early VHS releases had it, because I owned it myself. When I upgraded to DVD I was confused about the change in the opening and ending narration as well as the loss of Sally and Jack with their kids. It was there originally.

[@CastChaos]

"with four or five skeleton kids" I'm really glad that their love has meaning also for that the "dead" Halloween townsfolk have a "life", too. But I just keep and keep wondering about a "small" detail... and whenever I think I got it at last, through my mind it does slip...

[@mindram4ever]

If the undertale fandom can add dicks to sans and papyrus, then they can add it to jack too...

[@TheSneezingAnouki]

I really don't know if I should find the fact that Jack has "four or five skeleton children at hand" incredibly cute or incredibly disturbing.

[@jamlym4974]

Avacrido :V Maybe they adopted them after they died.

[@TrippiereddWifey]

Crippled Pig Toy bruh the doctor could make them 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@comegeturapplesauce]

Crippled Pig Toy I’m sure if jack could kidnap Santa, travel to another dimension, and scare the crud out of kids, then he could do the bing bing bong bong

[@notmyname8144]

actually watch nick beechers vid on this, we get to see them and they are the cutest!!

[@rosestrife1498]

I wanna see them!

[@t34b4g.99]

maybe the doc created them

[@SplitMaw]

I get chills every time I play this. It's so sweet and nostalgic, and makes me yearn to see the characters again in the scene that they had originally planned for the end.

[@legionbeast]

Such a shame this could not be included. The intro and the outro narrations are incredibly important to the story, but also cement that Jack and Santa become quite good friends after the holiday mashup. Of cours,e there was a lot cut from the final movie, i mean, Oogie Boogie's song loses the reference to the Cab Calloway dancing all due to time constraints. Oogie: "And now with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff!" Santa: "What are you going to do?!" Oogie: "I'm gonna do the best I can!" *Commence awesome semi rotoscopped scene of oogie Boogie dancing to a fantastic horn section of the orchestra as they parody the music of Old Man Of the Mountain*

[@goodep2]

Stewarts last little reading of "Wouldn't you?" has always stuck in my head.

[@Hannah-xj5gs]

It's stuck in my mind now and forever too, his voice is so comforting but chilling in a great way. If you know what I mean

[@thatoneeggplant]

It's so cute to think that Sally and Jack had kids and that Santa and Jack became friends 😊

[@kinztuber_rosy1596]

" *wouldn't* *you* " AAAHHHHH SO GOOD

[@justinharvey7398]

"... Wouldn't you?" Damn near makes me tear up every time.

[@PetProjects2011]

Sequel hook!

[@EspaALSC]

Awwww Jack and Sally had kids, I really have no idea how, but it's still really sweet, and this track is great, I wish they had put it in the original version of the movie because I love how they tell us what happened after the movie events, it's really cool :D :D :D :D

[@hunni_bunni]

He is the Bone Daddy. 😂

[@hitekx4065]

Am I the only one who thinks there should have been a short made about Lock, Shock, and Barrel kidnapping the Easter Bunny?

[@Hannah-xj5gs]

Actually that's a really good idea. They should definitely do that someday, or someone on the internet with a creative mind 🎃 Just like you coming up with that great idea. LOCK, SHOCK AND BARRELL

[@mayagil-lohr4754]

agreed

[@zeldaboo_]

Yes, and it should show them chasing it around Easter Town trying to catch it (and failing miserably)

[@webzter2661]

That's genius, just basically an episode of Wile E. Coyote but Nightmare Before Christmas-themed. It should be made.

[@Yakita60]

The last line ALWAYS gives me chills, for some reason. It makes me wonder....WOULD I re-live such a magical moment?...OF COURSE I WOULD!

[@SkieLoon]

I've never heard this before! And listening to that last line honestly gave me chills. This is amazing.

[@PuccaLover15]

I get chills when I hear this, especially the ending! It also made me happy that Santa considered Jack a good and dear friend. If you ask me, I believe he would. I can picture him saying with a smile, “Yes, Jack. I believe I would too.”

[@janeesco4711]

I've seen this so many times, but this feels like such a true ending.

[@AndrewsMagicandMore]

Curiously, the fact that Jack and Sally had children was never alluded to in the film itself.

[@TheCheezewiz25]

1.why didn't they show this in the movie 2.this just made me cry And 3. This is my favorite part of the Soundtrack

[@galahad1876]

O think they ran out of time to do the animation

Why doesn't he mention Sally?? You can't have Jack with out Sally!!

#Facts

[@kerplankk]

Because Sally is irrelivant to the entire movie

[@kerplankk]

and yet everyone treated her like the hero at the end

[@TorQueMoD]

I wish they hadn't cut the intro and outro from the final film.

[@DragonsLKG]

WHY IS THIS NOT IN THE MOVIE!?!?!?!? it would have been SOOOOOO awesome!!!

[@kimackerman2183]

Holy shit! I never listened to the last part until now😲 they had kids that's so cute!!💀♥

[@ar-ze3db]

i wish the guy that does this narration could read a book like this movie with the music it would be the best thing ever

[@mokana713]

bob dick I believe he actually did read the original poem the movie was based on with his vocals over the top of instrumental arrangements of songs from the movie and ride overlay.

Patrick Stewart, a F-ing legend!

[@calibrainstormm]

never heard it omg, i'm ever more in love with this movie haha

[@kelseyreynolds8055]

i have a theory..... the narrator is Santa Claus

[@Hannah-xj5gs]

It is. But you mean 'Sandy Claws' 🎄🎃

[@birhb6372]

Yeah, it says in the description.

[@Hoooost]

WAIT!!!!! how did they have kids?!?!?!

[@corvid98]

I like the idea of this ending narration, but I don't like the thought of Jack getting older. I mean, he's already dead, so the thought of him actually aging into an "old man" (how does that even work?) makes me really upset. I would have like to have seen more done with this movie, like some sort of a brief sequel to show him and Sally's life after that event or something along those lines. Other than that, though, this movie will always be a favorite of mine.

[@Socksshoesandhats]

I assume the narrator means old as in “good old”, showing endearment.

[@UFOHunterNikki]

I dunno. Im kind of glad this was taken out of the movie. I like when movies end and can leave a little to the imagination.

[@scar1ful]

Dr. Seuss worthy

[@1987AnimeBoy]

@goodep2 What did Jack mean by those words?

[@brianarodriguez2757]

Santa asks Jack if he had known then what he does now, would he have done the same thing still? When Jack says “Wouldn’t you?” What he means is the outcome. While his Christmas didn’t turn out the way he hoped, many good things came out of it. All the Holiday worlds united together, he was able to experience something new, he found the love of his life and now has a family. So if he could go back to that night, he wouldn’t change a thing.

[@malicious_333]

Does anyone else cry at the last part? Or am I just dumb?

[@arkanoshsecroman8404]

The music at 0:40 is like my favourite part of the whole ST

[@chxrrychopsticks6992]

*Stop I'm crying*

[@gojirafan0577]

Sucks that this wasn't in the actual movie but I still think it's Canon maybe I know that their is a animatic of it but maybe someday someone will animate it with the same stop motion style as in the movie

EPIC CLOSING MONOLOGUE

[@emurakawa]

Why have I never heard this before?

[@jamlym4974]

I'm betting that the skeleton children are all children who had tragic untimely deaths and Jack and Sally just adopted them in the afterlife.

Im so confused...when did they play this song? was it in the movie?

[@lolabones8669]

+Emily Goodman It's a narration. It was supposed to be at the end of the movie but they ran out of time to do the actual clip. So they did a voice narration (which is this) and released it.

is this poem in a certain format?

[@Quincy_Morris]

Never understood this film. Evil folk doing evil demented things then trying to change their ways to no longer be evil and then realize they can't not be evil so they go back to their evil ways. What the hell kinda twisted sad story is that? I felt like my soul got cancer when I first saw it. Did I miss something?

[@TheJonnyknockout]

You mistake mischief for evil. The residents of Halloween Town were not evil,, Oogie Boogie excepted. They were merely mischievous. And since that is essentially the modus operandi of Halloween as a holiday, it stands to reason that they would NOT change that, by any means.

You missed everything, I supose. Even a Spaniard as me, watching it on original version, can understand it perfectly, and without seing on the film there's something evil or twisted, because, there isn't something similar.

[@Quincy_Morris]

Hm... so I can buy the whole "monsters aren't evil" in things like Monster's ink and even Hotel Transylvania. But for some reason I never bought it in this film as I never saw them ever do normal good things or really anything. I mean sure they claimed to "not be mean" but their whole shtick was scaring people. Which doesn't exactly make them not evil. Then again I never understood the "holiday" of Halloween. I mean a holiday devoted to fear, death, gore and demons? What the hell?

[@TheJonnyknockout]

a) halloween is NOT about any of those things. halloween's traditional meaning coincides with Samhain which is a pagan holiday based around the harvest. the dead convene with the living, yes, but it isnt the focal point. Damn, you're judgmental... b) You also clearly never saw the film to the end. I'll spoil it for you: They are all capable of love and of joy. and AGAIN, you mistake mischef for evil... Are you ever dense. -_-

[@Quincy_Morris]

Halloween isn't about any of those things? Huh. Well that's a bit reassuring. Still it's confusing why people still decorate their houses and dress up like the holiday is devoted to all those things. Remember it doesn't matter how a holiday used to be celebrated or it's meaning back then, what's important is how it's celebrated now and what it's meaning is now. Also I believe your incorrect. All Hallows Eve is the day before All Saints Day, in which traditionally the Catholic church would celebrate all the dead saint folk. And the day before all the spirits were supposed to be up and about so folk would dress up as demonic whatnot to confuse the spirits. Or at least that's what my understanding on the history of the holiday is. But as I said it doesn't really matter. The only real difference I can see between mischief and "evil" is intensity. Perhaps I'm missing something. also calling someone Judgmental is an inherently judgmental action. The problem isn't with people being judgmental. The problem is people making judgments based on the wrong things or in the wrong ways.
