      JACK's failed Christmas

      I really don't like the style of painting, especially when the sack was removed at the end and there were bugs everywhere. Um...a chill...let's
        talk about JACK.
        One is tired of Halloween being funny; the other is attracted by Christmas and yearns for it; the third is to take action when you don’t know much about it. Kidnap Santa, let the Halloween townsmen make Christmas gifts, and the townspeople make scary Christmas gifts, scaring people, people boycott JACK, make JACK wake up,...

      Pumpkin Egg Day! (It's a plot introduction)

      The nightmare before Christmas
       
             On Christmas Eve, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas is actually not a good choice, because the film is more suitable for watching on Halloween. But Tim Burton's warmth under the black fairy tale coat makes people feel that watching this film before Christmas just makes people's eyes look at white with more warmth after seeing black.
         
          The film starts with the fairy-tale opening that Burton is good at: 'Twas long time ago,...

      source of creativity

      The film extended and processed the two favorite festivals of Western children, Christmas and Halloween: Christmas brings joy to children, with Santa Claus, Christmas tree, elk, Christmas gifts in socks, etc.; and Halloween is for children The result is panic, with labels like skeletons, pumpkins, pranks, and more.

      The Nightmare Before Christmas - Be yourself

      I lost my keys on Sunday, and I have been in a bad mood. Later, when I turned over my old key pendant, I found that I also had a pendant of Jack the Pumpkin Prince. So, I watched the movie again.
      The first time I saw this movie, I was a kid and couldn't remember what it was about. Rewatching it now, with a different feeling.
      The background is a strange small town, inhabited by a group of Halloween monsters. Their survival value and fun lies in the fact that they come out every year on...

      3.5, a stop-motion animation in 1993, only when I sang what's this for the second time did I realize that it sounded so good. I always mixed this up with the zombie bride. The two heroines are actually quite similar. Bolton's gothic style can be seen...
