Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is my favourite fantasy film of all time. The story follows Jack Skellington 'king of the pumpkin patch' from Halloween Town, who is amazed by the feelings of Christmas Town when he accidently finds a portal leading to it. Jack wants to introduce the holiday to Halloween Town, but the locals are not too keen, so elements of Halloween are introduced and Jack gradually becomes more obsessive about Christmas. The rest of the film involves kidnapping, disguise and romance... I won't go into it all incase anyone hasn't seen it!The idea of the film originated from a poem written by Burton whilst he was an animator for Disney, and then after years of thinking about the project, production started in 1991. It is one of those Christmas films that will always be popular, and even now I still enjoy watching it.
