The Nightmare Before Christmas was the perfect movie in 1993. No, really — it was. It combined the two best holidays: Christmas and Halloween. It combined the two most interesting ideas: love and darkness.
It was no surprise that the film, based on Tim Burton's 1982 poem of the same name, was a critical and box office success.
More than two decades later, the stop-animation movie is a cult classic. The Nightmare Before Christmas is the kind of movie you're excited to one day show your kids — or just plan a gathering around to watch with your friends.
Jack Skellington's acceptance of both the darkness and the light is why he remains a beloved character to many.
Perhaps what was most striking about the movie is its imaginative visuals and animation. The movie will transport anyone who watches it, be it back in 1993 or today, to another world.
It's no wonder we all get excited on Halloween — we can't wait to dress up like Jack or Sally!
