Review by Christian Carvajal

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of those rare and impeccable movies that have entered the American consciousness. Its characters are as likely to appear on present-day T-shirts as Darth Vader or Cookie Monster. Walk into any Hot Topic in any shopping mall in the Western world, and you’ll come away with the impression that The Nightmare Before Christmas is the Goth Godfather.

Roger Ebert raved about its “completely new” landscape and “visual richness”—“so abundant [it deserves] more than one viewing.” It may come as a surprise, then, that the movie made less than fifty million dollars in its initial U.S. run, finding the bulk of its adoring audience only via the Disney Channel and home video.

I don’t
