What's This? - Nightmare Before Christmas - WORKPRINT EXCERPT

[@cecilyerker]

Danny's singing voice is so beautiful that it really stands up even against the silly demo vocals. Exquisitely beautiful. You can just see him recording it in a soundbooth!

[@mxboxlocks]

I love how these were the original voices.. so.. odd to hear them after hearing the finals. Especially without the gasp before seeing the Christmas door. I'm guessing Jack yelling while falling into the portal was also a part of the song itself.. Cool! That probably saved a bunch of re-takes.

and i believe the music when Jack opens the Christmas door is from Steven Spielberg's Hook. Recognized it when i know it.

Watch the unexpected

[@oneinathousand2156]

I’ve heard that this demo has Danny’s original vocals as Jack’s speaking voice before Chris Sarandon was brought on, is this true? Since the spoken lines are so short I’m having trouble telling.

[@misterartist1603]

Maybe, maybe not. Some of the lines in the worktape are the same as the final.

[@itzorin600]

Is just me or I like Danny elfman's version of Jack more than Chris
