(as of Nov 27, 2024 17:50:09 UTC - Details)
In this beloved picture book that could only come from the visionary mind of author and illustrator TIM BURTON, we meet Jack Skellington-- a well-intentioned inhabitant of Halloweenland.
Jack is bored of "the scaring, the terror, the fright....tired of being something that goes bump in the night". And so, in an effort to bring to joy to his town, Jack kidnaps Santa and takes his place as the jolly old elf. But instead of bringing joy to the world Jack, who is a little more than a grinning skeleton, brings fear by delivering creepy toys and riding a sleigh carried by skeletal reindeer.
Only through a number of things going horribly wrong does Jack learn the true meaning of Christmas.

Title: Great Book!
Review: This book is a 20th anniversary edition. Itâs not like ang other typical NBC books that follow the movie too closely , to the point it drags. The illustrations are beautiful! I love the way the story is written and rhymes. Bravo Tim Burton, I highly recommend this for NBC fans of all ages.

Title: A Truly Original Xmas Story
Review: Though many have debated the issue of authorship in the 1993 movie, whether it belongs to director Henry Selick, screenwriters Michael McDowell and Caroline Thompson, or lyricist/composer/singer Danny Elfman, Tim Burton's original poem, though lacking several of the side characters, including Oogie Boogie, contains the same basic plot. The Jack Skellington of the poetic Nightmare Before Christmas is the same Jack Skellington of the film and Burton establishes the perfect sense of mood and place that defined the movie.Though the poem predates the film by eleven years, it is difficult not to view the book as a companion piece to its successor, if only because the film has surpassed its predecessor. Burton's poem is a perfect exploration of a theme where the story is second to the concept, while the movie uses the concept to drive the plot. The difference is subtle enough that fans of the movie will find plenty to love in Burton's original poem and readers of the poem who (somehow) have not seen the film will feel compelled to watch it.

Title: "Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones, an emptiness began to grow!" -Jack Skellington
Review: Most people who follow Walt Disney Studios' films know about the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". A stop motion masterpiece directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton (unavailable as he was filming Batman Returns), this fable is the third part of a trilogy Tim Burton did I personally call "The Christmas Trilogy". One that started with Edward Scissorhands, continued with Batman Returns, and finished with this story. That of Jack Skellington who, tired of the same relentless life as Pumpkin King in the world of Halloween, wishes of something new and inadvertently stumbles unto the world of Christmas. Uncovering a culture he wishes to share his own take to all the children in the real world. A good intention that brings forth more trouble than what he intended.Let's make it straight, this book is not a direct adaptation of the movie. Instead, this is the original poem Tim Burton had written and proposed to the Studios when he worked as a Disney Animator in the late seventies and early eighties. A poem with his original illustrations accompanying his stanzas. Artwork that is instantly recognizable with its German expressionism and its faerie colors, and character designs. Regarding that last aspect, it is interesting to see that although the characters of Oogie Boogie and Sally are absent, characters with their eventual designs do appear in the background at a certain page. As to whether or not Tim Burton had done those paintings in the seventies before he even got to produce this movie in the nineties, it would be wonderful if he had done that art in the seventies as that specific illustration would foreshadow Sally and Boogie's eventual presences in this story.Among my favorite artworks, I particularly adore the two-paged painting that presents Jack falling down into Christmas town, and also the last one as Halloween land is.... no, I won't reveal that spoiler. Would ruin the story's punch.Personally, I know a video version reading of that story also exists on certain DVD releases. Narrated by Christopher Lee, his voice has the perfect tone acting skills to give the story the emotional reading it deserves. Not only that, it also ties in with what Burton did with Vincent Price for his first short film, "Vincent". A masterpiece that was the best love letter a fan could give to his favorite actor, this special reading is another tribute to another actor Burton respected.In sum, the "Nightmare Before Christmas" book is the perfect classic for Christmas and Halloween time. The universe for which Tim Burton shall always be fondly remembered of.

Title: Insanely fast shipping, pristine condition
Review: I actually bought two of these, one for my 7 year old and one for my 15 year old, who both inherited my love for the Tim Burton movie. Movie lovers will be slightly disappointed that there is no Sally but the poem flows very well and the pictures are true Tim Burton style. My youngest one geeked out a bit because she thought he actually signed it himself (he did, in a way, but the signature inside is a stamp). The book is great for kids of all ages (and adults who are still kids at heart and want something that wasn't pushed out by Disney marketing)

Review: Ein wunderschöne gestaltetes Buch. Wir haben es für unsere Tochter zu Weihnachten gekauft, weil sie den Film liebt, um mit ihr englisch zu üben. Das hat wunderbar funktioniert. Klar, da es in Reimen geschrieben ist, die vermutlich extra etwas veraltet klingen sollen sind einzelne Stellen schwierig zu übersetzen, aber alles in allem sind wir sehr zufrieden.
