The Nightmare Before Christmas - 1993 Review

Nightmare before christmas is a dark movie that is mainly for adults and older children. both can enjoy the animation and music but as a small child the main draw is the music.  I personally don't understand the "cult following this movie has as i am one of the people that really can't stand it.   I had trouble keeping interest in this flick and to tell the truth i couldn't stay awake the first four or five times i attempted to watch the video. Because of the massive following of this movie i tried to see what all the hoopla was about.  I did manage to keep my eyes open long enough to view it in its entirety once. The story line and the constant moving into a new song was way too much for me.  I do lenjoy musicals but this was actually excrutiating for me to watch. in fact i compare this viewing experience to going to the dentist, very painful and so glad the experience is over.  I din manage to sell my copy ant a yard sale.
