Funniest part of the movie is when Jack also looks annoyed at the Mayor interrupted him and Sally right after the fight with Oogie Boogie.
"Dammit Mayor, we were having a moment here -"

This is ...cursed. It is being shared on every Halloween page or group I follow and so many people are loving it without quesiton.
Does no one notice what's wrong with it?
First... It's AI art, and it's bad AI art. Does no one notice Jack has two months? either that or his skull had to be sutured back together for some reason.
Second, Tim Burton has openly said he disapproves of AI generated art of his characters. He finds it creepy and soulless. And yes, Jack is Tim Burton's creation. Henry Sellick directed the movie but the original short story (written in poem form) and character designs were Tim Burton's.

Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie Man —Aesthetic
Tumblr media
Oogie Boogie Man's Character & Personality
Oogie Boogie is the infamous Boogeyman. He's a bug-filled burlap sack who lives on the outskirts of Halloween Town. Oogie's lair is underneath the treehouse of his henchmen Lock, Shock and Barrel. He's feared and detested for his ghastly nature as well as his rivalry with the Pumpkin King. Oogie is boisterous and vile, with flamboyance to his mien. His mannerisms resemble a snazzy showman. Oogie typically enjoys dancing about and singing jazzy show tunes. He's quite jovial, despite his heinousness. Oogie is also quick-tempered, making him somewhat unpredictable. He's regarded as the "meanest guy around", to the point his loyal henchmen fear him. Oogie's sadistic behavior is displayed through his cannibalistic appetite. He refuses to simply kill and eat his prisoners immediately. Instead, Oogie enjoys taunting and mocking their helplessness, while subjecting them to one of his many instruments of torture, before finally adding them to his Snake and Spider Stew to feast on their remains. His life revolves around gambling as he loves gambling with others' lives. Oogie's lair is modeled after casinos. Its architecture takes inspiration from poker tables, slot machines and the like. Oogie often carries dice, which he uses to decide the fate of his prisoners. Regardless, he'll always skew the odds in his favor. Ironically, Oogie has no skills for gambling as he rolls snake eyes and has to resort to cheating. He has a creative mind. The contraptions installed in Oogie's lair are mechanisms for gambling and defense in case of emergencies, like unwanted visitors.

I got Long Live the Pumpkin Queen for Christmas and decided that (after devouring the book in a matter of hours) I wanted to draw out the Sandman.
He looks like he would be a problem to animate in stop-motion, but then again I thought that about details like Jack’s tuxedo tails and all of Zero but it looks fantastic anyway, so I think the Sandman’s floating wraith-y look would be fine?

A small Christmas treat:
Tim Burton's original Nightmare before Christmas poem.
The animated special, How the Grinch stole Christmas (the 1966 version) was on TV tonight. It's narrated by horror icon Boris Karloff.
An interesting bit of trivia is Boris Karloff is accidentally miscredited as being the singer of "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch."
The real singer is Thurl Ravenscroft. Thurl Ravenscroft is the original voice of Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes commercials (Frosties in the UK). With the slogan "They're greeeeeeat!"
Thurl Ravenscroft is also the singer of Grim Grinning Ghosts from the Disney Haunted Mansion ride.
Thurl Ravenscroft was not credited for singing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" on the end credits of the animated special by mistake. The very next day the studio put out a public apology to him in a major newspaper but the credits were never corrected.
Anyway, since How The Grinch Stole Christmas was on tonight I thought I might as well share this.
This is Tim Burton's original Nightmare before Christmas poem / short story. Tim Burton actually wrote this back in 1982 / 1983 while working for Disney as an animator and since he was working for Disney at the time they held the rights to anything he created while working for them.
The story would not be published in book form until 1993 when Tim Burton's story / poem would also be adapted into a stop motion animated musical.
When Tim Burton's original story finally was published it was also fully illustrated by Tim Burton and resembled a Dr. Seuss book.
Years later that poem and illustrations were used to create the SECOND animated adaptation of Nightmare before Christmas.
That's right. There are technically two animated versions of Nightmare before Christmas.
This animated version was a bonus feature on the 10th anniversary Nightmare before Christmas DVD and it was narrated by horror icon, Christopher Lee much like how Boris Karloff narrated How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Christopher Lee is one of Tim Burton's favorite old horror actors, who appeared in the Tim Burton movies, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Dark Shadows.
So here you go. An extra Christmas special, an alternate version of Nightmare before Christmas (a much simpler version) narrated by Christopher Lee.

Tim Burton’s the Nightmare Before Christmas: Jack Skellington —Aesthetic
Tumblr media
Jack Skellington's Character & Personality
Jack is highly optimistic and enjoys the new. When in despair, he’s able to cheer himself up easily. As the Pumpkin King, Jack is a gentleman who’s graceful and patient. Thus, he almost never loses his temper and hardly raises his voice. However, Jack is unable to contain his contempt for certain foes and won’t hesitate to severely punish those for endangering his friends with grim dedication. Although his logic is sound, his reasoning can be questionable at times. Being slightly naïve, Jack is oblivious at reading people’s feelings. Regardless, he’s humble enough to admit failure and is willing to hand back the reins to rectify everything. In the end, Jack can usually be counted on to do what’s in everyone’s best interest.
