Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas introduces us to a magical world of the Halloween Town with its extraordinary characters headed by Jack Skelington or more popularly the Pumpkin King. The musical animation narrates the story of Jack Skelington who is blasé with the monotony of the Halloween celebration.
One day he happens to stumble upon the glamorous and gorgeous Christmas Town. He decides that the residents of Halloween will also celebrate Christmas this year instead of Halloween and makes the goblins and the bats prepare for the celebration.
For this, he employs Lock, Stock and Barrel to kidnap Santa Claus and plans that he himself will deliver the gifts to the children; however, everything turns out in a total fiasco, when ultimately he is rescued by the rag-doll Sally.
Henry Selick directed Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, while Danny Elfman composed the music.
