There is no doubt, although Tim Burton is not the director of this cartoon—— In this film, he appeared as a producer, but the cartoon itself is still deeply imprinted by Tim Burton: the darkness, the sense of horror, the boundless imagination, and the more linear sense. Comic characters-the latter is almost the same as Tim Burton's another animated film "Zombie Bride". People are still willing to classify this movie as Tim Burton's movie, and even call it "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas".
The story begins in a small town, Halloween Town, as its name suggests, the residents of this town seem to live for Halloween. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred and sixty-four days, they are rehearsing and preparing for Halloween's funny and scary tricks, guiding the arrival of Halloween, and making a lot of spoofs. The next day, continue to prepare for the next Halloween.
However, the protagonist of this funny event after another, the pumpkin prince Jack, a scarecrow with a skull, is finally tired of repeating such tricks after Halloween. After a fate, he decided to be Santa Claus and spend Christmas for Santa Claus.
In the end, they robbed Santa Claus and made gifts by themselves. Jack turned into a gift cart pulled by the driver's skeleton deer on Christmas Eve and gave gifts from door to door. It is conceivable, what kind of gifts are prepared by the residents of Halloween Town, who are born with spoof and horror blood? Bats, snakes, skeletons... the frightening Christmas Eve was born.
For Jack, this is a very unsuccessful usurpation. In his imagination, Santa’s job is not fundamentally different from his own. He is also capable of this job and may do better.
Jack is a romantic imaginer. He is hesitant and imaginative, able to recite Shakespeare's poems, and is the spiritual leader of All Saints Town. However, his own growth environment and cultural temperament made him unsuitable for attending all Christmas activities. It belongs to Halloween, but why do you want to be an old man for Christmas? Qingben beauty, how can you follow the thief?
Fortunately, Jack came back to reflect after being hit by a shell. Finally, Santa was let go, and this time Christmas was saved.
When Halloween meets Christmas, this is indeed a very imaginative plot, one dark, melancholic, one pure and warm, two worlds and two tones are in strong contrast.
In the end, Tim Burton seemed to support the pure and warm world, and the cannon shot down also shot down the dark and melancholic Jack, but this does not represent Tim Burton’s rejection of Jack’s world. Maybe He just wanted to tell us that there are two festivals, Halloween and Christmas, in this world, and there are two realities of light and darkness, warmth and melancholy, and we don’t have to have some kind of reality to replace it. Another reality is that a twisted melon is not necessarily sweet. All we need to do is to enjoy the spoof and horror of being spoofed when Halloween comes, and enjoy the warm and sweet feeling when Christmas comes.
In this way, this world, our world can be considered complete.
