Nightmare Before Christmas Vs. The Nightmare Before Christmas

519 Words3 Pages

The Nightmare Before Christmas could be argued as a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie. Just imagine, if The Nightmare Before Christmas was a Halloween movie, does that mean that Zootopia is a human movie? I believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Christmas movie. You might think otherwise, and I’m fine with that. After this though, you might change your opinion. My first reason why The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Christmas movie is because there are more songs. There are five to six Christmas songs (depending on what you consider a Christmas song) and there are three Halloween songs. Each song takes about three minutes. That means that there was six to nine more minutes that are for Christmas, just from songs. That’s crazy! Anyways, if you don’t believe me yet, this point may change your mind. My second reason why The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Christmas movie is …show more content…

This was where one of the songs actually took place. Jack absolutely admired this town (as you can see with the smile on his face and him wanting to give presents). He even went as far as to KIDNAPPING Santa to give out presents. That just shows you how much of a Christmas movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is. Now, people may think The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Halloween movie because obviously there were WAY more Halloween characters, but Jack chose to be part of Christmas and nearly every character supported his decision. So, that just changed all the Halloween characters to support Christmas. Meaning, that they could be considered Christmas characters because their only trait about Halloween would be looking scary. That’s not really strong evidence to say that this is a Halloween movie. That’s all I have to say about it NOT being a Halloween movie (still more to say of why it is a Christmas

    I also found that Scrooge is the same Christmas hater in the book and in the movie. Scrooge is visited by the same three spirits in the movie and book. You can’t forget that runs a business in both the movie and the book. Some differences that I found is that in the book, the first spirit had the cap under its arm, while in the movie, the cap was in its hand. Another difference I found is that in the movie, in the scene where Scrooge is taken to the past to see a boy abandoned by his friends and alone in the school reading, Scrooge didn’t weep for him.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, also known as “The Grinch”, is a 2000 family-based, Christmas-themed, comedy film delivered by Universal and Imagine Entertainment and based on the 1957 children’s picture book written by Dr. Seuss of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard (who also directed “Splash”, “Rush”, and “The Dilemma”), “The Grinch” was the first full-length feature film adapted from the series of outstanding and beloved Dr. Seuss tales. Since the film was the first to be based off one of Seuss’s famous children's books, many additions had to be made to the storyline to make the film fit the era’s “standards” by bringing it up to feature-length, leaving the young and older audience intrigued, and most importantly keeping the legacy of Dr. Seuss's works intact. In addition, this included adding some vivid information about the

    Well I have seen a lot of film versions and no stage versions, and since I like to have fun I will be talking about the differences between "A Christmas Carol" and "A Muppet Christmas Carol". Now besides the Muppets I would say the movie is very accurate, from the costume designs, to the story. They even add direct quotes from the book sometimes, but with every adaptations some changes were made here and there. Of course they had to cut some material out to make the movie a certain time, and they had to make the content a little more enjoyable for their modern audiences so they made the dialog a bit more "with the times". They also added some more personal choices like adding musical numbers which I find is very fitting for the story.

    When people are asked to name some of the classic Christmas movies, they are quick to say movies such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), but they forget to mention the dismal, chilling The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).

Aren’t The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas quite similar depictions of how some may deal with the “Christmas blues”?
