It was praised for its stunning originality and for the excellence of its execution. In addition, it was praised for being a completely absorbing fable that both grownups and children can enjoy, so long as the children are able to its handle scary bits (beginning perhaps at age seven or eight). In the story, Jack Skellington (voice of Chris Sarandon ) is the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, a realm of reality w the inhabitants make it their life's work to scare humans on Halloween. He's good at his work, and is very popular around town, but it all bores him. In a funk one day, he wanders into a wood w every tree is the doorway to realms serving one or another human holiday, and falls through the doorway into Christmas. T, he sees scenes of such glee and good will that he is overwhelmed. He returns to Halloweentown with the inspiration to persuade his fellow citizens to kidnap Santa and do Christmas in their own Halloweentown way -- complete with snakes and shrunken heads. Despite strong arguments against this project by Jack's otherwise loyal girlfriend, Sally (voice of Catherine O'Hara), Santa (voice of Edward Ivory ) is duly captured, and the townspeople prepare a very special Christmas for everyone. Jack is excited about the new plan, and at first doesn't notice that Sally isn't around much anymore. Meanwhile, Oogie Boogie (voice of Ken Page ), a sinister opponent of Jack's, has re-kidnapped Santa and has captured Sally as well. Since Sally is the true love of Jack's life and (he eventually realizes) the only one who can be relied upon to tell him the truth in every circumstance, a confrontation with Oogie Boogie becomes inevitable. In addition to being a monumental work of animation (it took over 120 animators and many more technicians more than two years to film it), this show features ten very appropriate musical numbers by composer Danny Elfman , who also supplies Jack's singing voice. In October 2006, fans of the innovative animated classic got to experience The Nightmare Before Christmas in a whole new dimension when the film was re-released into theaters in Disney Digital 3-D -- a process developed to add remarkable new depth to films that were originally released in standard 2-D. These scripts are in their original standard screenplay format as typed by the writer or the studio-- none of the scripts that we offer is ever incorrectly formatted on the page. All scripts are industry standard and preprinted on 8.5x11" paper, 3-hole punch, and bound by three brass brads. All scripts offered are of various drafts (from early to later shooting drafts-please check the draft information above). Scripts vary from slightly different-to-major differences from the final movie. These changes are normal and certain movies may have dozens of different drafts and several writers. Also, some scripts may be slightly light in type or have darker inserted pages (produced from color shooting pages). It is not unusual to have some missing pages from the older scripts. We are careful to note the draft, writer differences from the final credited movie, missing pages, and original typed quality. We do not list any scene, name, or character changes, or any editing differences of the script vs. the final movie. We offer 100% money back guarantee.
