The Nightmare of The Nightmare Before Christmas

[@oliveroem]

bro your supposed to be a minecrafter what is this good content

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Ay sometimes ya gotta pop off 😅

[@lfcambotta]

just came here after watching your Thanksgiving video. when I see the view count, I can imagine the effort put into this, and how you pulled it off while asserting your unique voice to the work. I am glad I found your content and surely glad you got found aswell.

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Oh man thats great! I'm glad you liked both videos they were really fun to make for me :D

[@Avendesora]

I really hope youtube picks this up for a go around on the algorithm. Both it and your channel really deserve to be seen. Very few things make me as immediately and viscerally frustrated as knowing the people are getting major credit for something when they didn't earn it. At least this situation wasn't as inherently predatory as things like men stealing work from female scientists and slapping their name on it, since it seems like Tim didn't ultimately make the decision or propose it in the first place... but boy, he sure could have fought against it, couldn't he.

[@reemffs]

Wow wow wow!!!! I came here originally from your "It's Okay To Leave The Kids Table" video, and I am just as flabbergasted at this one as I was on the other. It feels like such a shame having to call your work mere videos, since they are clearly so much more. The amount of research and detail you put into this is mindblowing, I had literally no idea how big of a role Henry Selick played in this film and I am so so so shocked by this newfound knowledge, as someone who loved the 'Tim Burton' vibe I feel lied to and cheated that he got all that praise and credit without fully deserving it. This video has definitely altered my perspective on how I should really appreciate and dive deep into the making of a movie, especially classics like this I enjoy your content a lot and I know I'm going to find myself binging video after video at 3am lol! Keep up the good work, I hope you get the recognition you deserve because your channel is criminally underrated! Thanks again for another masterpiece :-)

The soft music in the background, the delightful intricate cometary on who truly owns a movie, gently bringing the true director of a creepy classic to the spotlight, OOOH THIS IS GOOD! And unexpected indeed! These are the times of videos I enjoy greatly, ones that are truly food for thought, leather I can metaphorically chew on for a while. I have learned something new and have something to think on for a while! Props to you Mr.Napoleon, this is done very well!

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Aw thanks Dragon thats all super kind of ya dude! I was really trying to do something different here and I think it worked. If what I've made has given you something to take away and think on than this has been a complete success for me. I think it was an important story to tell about Selick. Beyond that though we see more and more discussion on 'ownership and art' grow with AI art, independent versus corporate backed art, and creative commons discorse so this kinda topic is worth exploring to me!

[@Danniboi03]

This is honestly very good quality and well put together quite well! I'm very happy KZbin recommended this to me! I hope you and ur channel grows big, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store!

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Hey thanks! That's real kind of ya to say I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video I think its a story worth telling and I'm excited to do more like it!

[@bigbluemagooyt]

Criminal. This channel is criminally underrated! Excellent and eloquently spoken videos. Hope you get the cred you deserve soon! Love the vids!

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Thats super kind of you, really. I'm glad you enjoyed I had such a fun time with this one

[@anipunani]

beautiful beautiful video. the nightmare before christmas is arguably my favorite movie, and you beautifully spoke about its making/makers. love the content

[@sabrinabayonet]

this should definitely have more views

[@lLiquid]

gonna be weird comment, but i really like the style and flow of these video essays. + your voice, and the music 😄

[@Jaxonsyoutubechannel]

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED

[@404Andy12]

This was great! A very well thought out and interesting piece about rights and who truly owns what. I liked how the end leaves you wanting to learn and have more, encouraging the audience to listen and go out to find their own media to question/learn about. Movies and media needs more history being taught and the philosophical implications of movies and media that doesn’t go way in this digital age

[@NapoleonVIINap]

🙏🙏 Thanks for the kind words!! I really wanted to approach this topic with room for it to grow if tht makes sense. I don't think there are clear cut answers to some questions I ask and I am a real fan of exploring this side of media and movies in the digital age like you say, I think its a topic that deserves to be looked into. And if this video makes anyone do that I count it as the best thing I've made. Beyond Selick, I think animation and animators also deserves more love!

[@ohnothepossum]

this is a very great video, honestly i am surprised it doesnt have more views, it definitely deserves more

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Hey thanks :) thats super kind of you to say, I had a blast makin the video so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think its a story worth telling since I love the movie so much

[@Mj1343_]

WOOO NAP VIDEO CLAP CLAP I appreciate the deeper dive. I know the selick story but not his quotes about elfman or his other movies. And me being in the art world I’ve heard about these kinds of discussions a lot and I appreciate the look into them

[@NapoleonVIINap]

I think Selick's interviews as of late where he's been more open about how it hurt to have this follow him his whole career even beyond losing recognition of nightmare is really gut wrenching to me. Theres a real sense of the man being wronged in my mind. And I think it split well into talking about the complexity of things like ownership and art. I'm frickin thrilled ya liked it. It was awesome to research and make. If ya ever want to follow up on any of it, works cited are in the description 😅

[@JammyToastIsChill]

This was so beautiful talked through and written. More people need to listen to this! I hope your time has been good since uploading this amazing exploration!

[@NapoleonVIINap]

Thats super kind of you to say! I'm glad you liked it I had a blast making this one. I've been doing well since as well. I hope you've had and will have a wonderful rest of the year :D

[@fiNESScasting]
