- Randy is "meh" onThe Nightmare Before Christmas
Honestly meh
Obihulk lovedThe Nightmare Before ChristmasMy favorite movie of all time. I can watch it over and over again. I want to thank tim burton for coming up with the idea of nightmare before Christmas. It’s a film that was unfortunate robbed of a Oscar win. Spectacular cast and music from the mind of Danny elfman. 😌

Metacritic
It’s an aesthetically addicting experience that capitalizes on these seasonal feelings, offering an unlikely escape with the press of a button.

Consequence
A stop-motion charmer.
Neil Smith
Total Film
The director of the film, a veteran stop-action master named Henry Selick, is the person who has made it all work. And his achievement is enormous.
