This is one of the few movies that I grew up with that I love just as much today as I did back when I watched it as a child. Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town but he's starting to wonder if there is more, and why does he feel so empty. One day when out on a walk he finds doorways to other places and he ends up in the North Pole. He falls in love with Christmas and decides to take over it.
While I grew up watching this, I don't think that my five year old (or younger children) would enjoy this movie yet as some of the creatures that inhabit Halloween Town are a bit scary, but when they're a little older they can join me for my yearly viewing of this sometime during the week before Christmas.
Jack's Lament is my favourite song in this movie and in fact I enjoy it a lot more than most Disney movies songs. This movie has some fun songs but Jack's Lament and What's This are the best two of the movie. I highly recommend this movie.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Ten-year-old Sophie is in for the adventure of a lifetime when she meets the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance). Naturally scared at first, the young girl soon realizes that the 24-foot behemoth is actually quite gentle and charming. As their friendship grows, Sophie's presence attracts the unwanted attention of Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater and other giants. After traveling to London, Sophie and the BFG must convince Queen Victoria to help them get rid of all the bad giants once and for all.
