The skeleton who became Santa Claus
Jack Skellington is the main character of the Disney Studios cartoon The Nightmare before Christmas”. It is the most famous and representative film of Tim Burton (of which he is a writer and an artistic director but not a director) with this so particular style of animation: the stop motion. Jack is a skeleton in charge of the town’s Halloween festivities. Tired of devoting his life to scaring people, he leaves town and discovers Christmas town, where the atmosphere is quite different. He returns home with the plan to organize the Christmas party. To do so, he decides to kidnap Santa Claus and take his place. He will finally discover that what made him so melancholic was not weariness, but the lack of love. He finds this love with Sally, a sort of sewn-up doll, prisoner of the city’s mad scientist. This movie is both the one to watch at Christmas for its message of love and hope, and at Halloween for its atmosphere and its strange characters.
