I had been told for years that I needed to see this movie, but I never watched it. As a first time watcher of the Nightmare Before Christmas, I thought that it was going to be a little scary and not as inspiring as it truly was. I can see why this movie has become a classic. The movie features great music and a cross between holidays that you can not find anywhere else. I am excited to now be able to share in discussions of this movie with peers when it is unavoidably mentioned, especially during the Halloween season.

Endless possibilities
This was also my first time watching the film, despite it being such a popular, highly reference film. I agree that it was worth seeing and has definite merit as a cult classic. There was absolutely an interesting balance between being a scary/creepy animated film, but also having a strange warmth and nostalgia. Through the visuals, the characters, and the musical numbers, the film masterfully balanced this strangeness with a deeply sentimental, human aspect.
