Re: Movie Club Discussion!

[(Anonymous)]

1. First time I ever saw this movie was when I was a kid (we're talking about 9, 10 years old here, not long after the movie came out on VHS). I was at my grandma's place, getting over a nasty fever/cold, and my sister was watching the movie. I was kinda in and out of paying attention 'cause I was all tired and feeling bleh.

Then "What's This?" came on, and there was the line about, "There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads" and I actually remember looking over at the TV like, "...did I hear that right?" And that had me paying a bit closer attention to the rest of the film as a result, because it was just so odd :p. I've seen it I don't know how many times since then, and it's one of my favorite films from my childhood :).

2. I loved Jack Skellington :). I think I had a bit of a crush on him as a kid. And I wouldn't say I liked the guy Sally lived with, but I did find some moments with him kinda funny as a kid.

Least favorite would've been Oogie Boogie simply 'cause he scared me. I like him as a villain now, though. I don't think there's any characters I'd pick as least favorites in this movie now.

3. Favorite scene, hands down, is the moment at the end when Jack joins Sally on the top of the hill. It's so sweet and lovely. I love any moments with that hill in general, just 'cause it's such a cool effect/image and I love the shots of the hill against the huge moon. I also like the moment with Jack in the graveyard after being shot down, when he's regretting his actions, as well as the big showdown between him and Oogie Boogie.

Least favorite...maybe the bugs falling out of Oogie Boogie towards the end, simply 'cause, ick :p? That's about it, though.

4. I love the music in this film. Danny Elfman seemed to play a role in a lot of things I liked as a kid, and this was no exception. I like his singing voice in this movie, I like the dark, weird humor of some of the lyrics, I like the old-timey feel of the songs. The music is definitely one of my favorite things about the film.

5. I'm not an expert on production/cinematography type stuff and whatnot, but I remember seeing a thing once about just how long it took the people who worked on this movie to make the little figurines and do the whole stop-motion animation setup and whatnot, and it was so impressive and interesting. The time and effort put into making this movie showed, and I'm genuinely in awe of people who have the talent for this kind of animation and filmmaking. The animation certainly helped make this movie stand out a little more, too, and added to the weird nature of the story.

So. Yeah. Like I said, this movie will always have a special place in my heart. I'll be interested to read comments about it from people who didn't see the movie as kids, and see what they took away from the film as a result.

Boy, I can't imagine being a kid and watching this for the first time with a fever!

I am the same way about the characters. They are all so much damn fun!

I actually really like the Oogie Boogie falling apart scene because of how technically awesome it is. Did you see some of the videos I linked above? In the original story line Finkelstein was going to be inside Oogie Boogie the whole time as a twist ending. I am glad they did not go with that one.

I love most of Danny Elfman's music and most of his older stuff is pretty iconic (from the Batman to The Simpsons theme).

Yeah, the whole movie took three years to create! I guess Oogie Boogie was actually the hardest puppet to work with because his frame was so strong as well.
