The Nightmare Before Christmas: Stop motion, Festive Notions & Poisoned Potions

What’s this? What’s this? It’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, the classic stop-motion animation that takes the term ‘festive spirits’ quite literally. Load up the coffin and gee up the skeleton reindeer, we’re going for a sleigh ride! Molly and Chloe discuss the personalities behind the movie, including Tim Burton, director Henry Selick and composer Danny Elfman, and the production’s sometimes troubled history. We talk through the artistry that went into every intricate shot and consider the best stop-motion animations that have come out since. Plus we give out Christmas gifts to the best moments in the film and recommendations of what to watch next this Yuletide. And that’s not all for Christmas cheer. Chloe and Molly challenge each other to a 90s movie quiz, with varying levels of competitiveness… The ‘Making of The Nightmare Before Christmas’ documentary Chloe references can be found here.
