The Nightmare Before Christmas

A classic dark fantasy stop-motion animated musical – set in a world where different lands represent different holiday seasons.

But Jack soon discovers that even the best-laid plans can have unexpected results.

A brilliantly imaginative and original fairy tale, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a visually fantastic timeless classic.
