Nightmare Before Christmas

Someone's just given me "Nightmare Before Christmas" on DVD - And I'm kind of ashamed to say I've never seen it before. Obviously, I know some of the songs because they appear on Disney playlists on iTunes and Spotify but I've never seen it.

Is it worth the watch? I can't wait till Halloween to pop it in the DVD player. So, I'm having a late-night treat with M&M's and a cup of tea

Yes, it's a decent film. Do you have kids? They might like to watch it with you.

I have a little girl. My partner has two little ones as well, we might pop it on tonight then watch it again tomorrow with the kids
I've got a whole ton of Disney films I've not seen, I feel so far behind the times - It's embarrassing

It's brilliant!

I love this film! It's for all year round watching Smile

AliceLutherNeeMorgan · 02/09/2019 22:56

I love it but would only watch it at Christmas. I’m very strict!

PersonalClown · 02/09/2019 23:01

I love it.
It's probably one of my favourite films.
I'm going to see it live with the actors singing live with a full orchestra in December!! Can't wait!!

It is very good. Very creepy so it might depend how tolerant the children are of that sort of thing.

Shutupseaguls · 02/09/2019 23:05

I love it. Used to scare me as a child but then again I was a kid who was afraid of playdoh so no surprises there. My children love it too.

My little one will probably get bored halfway through as she's only three but my partner's boys will adore it, they love Tim Burton films - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a hit for them @PerspicaciaTick

I love Tim Burton films, so yes. My favourite is Corpse Bride though.

PerspicaciaTick · 02/09/2019 23:08

That should be fine then. I introduced my two to Coraline a bit early and they still haven't recovered Grin

My 5 year old loves this! Im not so keen. She also loves Frankenweenie, she likes a Tim Burton film.

We haven't done Coraline yet, but we have watched Corpse Bride, both Alice in Wonderland films and James and the Giant Peach with the boys. They loved them Grin

I do love a Tim Burton film too, but I'm honestly ashamed I've never seen Nightmare before Christmas @shivbo2014

Be a bit careful with Coraline! I found that quite scary as an adult! Definitely watch it alone first so you can gauge what you think!

My partner's boys are eight and ten, they've watched worse with their Mother's boyfriend - Sad but it's true

This is in my top 10 favourite films!!! It is amazing, though for me it is a Christmas film, I love watching it at Christmas time 😊

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/09/2019 21:32

Lucky you watching it for the first time!

JollyAndBright · 21/09/2019 21:49

It’s a Christmas film not a Halloween film

(but I always watch it at Halloween.... and Christmas).... and any time I fancy a good singalong.

I love it, I love Tim Burton and NBC is one of my all time favourite animated films.

anunseemlylovefordustin · 21/09/2019 21:50

One of my favourite films! I'm envious of you getting to watch it for the first time :) I'm going to see the performance in December with the original actors singing too, like someone upthread. I'm so excited!!

MusicToMyEars800 · 21/09/2019 21:59

It’s so great times fellow lovers of NBC!! It really is an amazing film that can be watched again and again!

StarlingsInSummer · 08/10/2019 18:55

We watch it every year while we’re trimming the tree.

SoFloofy · 08/10/2019 19:05

I've tried watching it, but couldn't get into it all. Sorry

LadyJadeyJade93 · 12/11/2019 12:58

It is one of my fav films, love it. Not to everyone's taste but i love the story, the music and the animation style. My 5 year old nephew loves all the Jack Skellington things I have alround the house, but he is yet to sit down and watch it with me, might try this christmas
