Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The Nightmare Before Christmas is a major step forward for both stop-motion animation, which is stunningly well used, and for Mr. Burton himself. He now moves from the level of extremely talented eccentric to that of Disney-style household word.
Fresh: Flattened for years on cable and video, Nightmare has been resurrected in all its tactile glory.
Fresh: Of all the new Halloween films, only this one has the power to truly haunt our dreams.
Fresh: A fun house of funereal glamour.
