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 Halloween to scare others. Their group is huge, but they have one of the most prominent leaders - Jack the Pumpkin Prince. Jack can create the most terrifying scary effects, but he is tired of this kind of life. At one chance, he broke into the Christmas village and gradually fell in love with Santa's "occupation". So he wanted to organize a Christmas, and everyone began to prepare all kinds of Christmas gifts. Jack also disguised himself as Santa Claus, put on a fake beard, got in a car driven by a skeleton deer, and delivered gifts to the children. The gifts he thought the kids would love turned out to be their nightmares because they were all scary. Everyone started broadcasting on TV: It was a fake, and Jack was shot from the sky by a cannon. Finally Jack woke up, returned to Halloween Town, and began to prepare for his own holiday.
In fact, the pumpkin prince is the pumpkin prince who insists on taking the role of Santa Claus. The end result can only be disgusting. In fact, isn't life like this? I have always believed in fate: fate sometimes comes eventually, and there is no time to force it. In the Book of Changes, it is said that fate is predestined, and the only thing we can change is our own "luck". Why do you have to do things that don't belong to you, why do you have to do your own weaknesses? Jack is always Halloween.
This is a puppet animation film, which is also interspersed with a lot of puppet singing and dancing (although I don't like the songs they sing very much), the set is 1 hour and 16 minutes, which is a relatively short animation film. It can be seen that the director is a person full of whimsy, because this film is based on the imagination of the director and screenwriter. I don't remember the director's name, but I only know that his other masterpiece is also an animated film and a fantasy story - "Ghost Mother".
Now that I've used the Jack pendant as my new key pendant, I hope Jack can do his essential work and make sure my keys don't get lost again. . .
