    “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Plot Summary

    Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn’t quite understand the concept. add synopsis

    One of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen!

    I remember when I was in 3rd grade I became obsessed with ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. I remember telling my friends at school my own ’stories’ of some of the characters. To this day, I still love it

    Everything about this movie is excellent, great, beautiful, every positive word you can think of. The songs, the animation, the characters, everything! Let’s start with some of them

    The songs are excellent and they should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for Best Songs, and it should’ve won! My favorite song is Sally’s Song, which is just too gorgeous for words. I also love This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws (that song is hilarious), and Oogie Boogie Man, which reminds me of a Ray Charles song

    The characters are great, too. Jack, who is wise and independent; Sally, who is gorgeous, sweet, and kind; the Mayor, who’s chatty and talkative; Lock, Shock, and Barrel, who are mischievous but friendly; Dr. Finkelstein, who’s usually grumpy all the time; and of course, the Oogie Boogie Man, who’s evil

    The animation is gorgeous, not like anything else I’ve seen. The movie was made in the early ’90s and it has the most spectacular animation of any animated movie made in the ’90s! This has been one of my favorite animated movies for a long time and it still is. In fact, when I get older and have a career in show business, I’ll release an album where I sing songs from ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. You’ll soon see! This is a great movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. Great job, Tim Burton!

    “Brother Bear” Movie Review

    “Brother Bear” Plot Summary

    A young Inuit hunter seeks vengence against a bear, only to be magically changed into a bear himself, and his only chance to change back is with a talkative bear cub. add synopsis

    A breath of fresh air.

    No, it’s not one of those older Disney ‘classics,’ but I loved the film to death. It has believable characters, beautiful animation, a good storyline, decent music, and best of all (or at least, the most refreshing of all) is that its humour and dialogue aren’t overdone like you see so often. It has good messages and memorable scenes

    As far as a plot overview, if you don’t want your children to see a ‘gorey’ movie, despite a lack of blood and apparent injury, you should stay away from this film. Within the first fifteen minutes, both the main character’s older brother and a bear die. The movie also accepts occult ideas concerning religion, as there are spirits that live in the sky rather than a single god (which are capable of creating great changes) and instances where it embraces the idea of karma. But overall, this movie is as cute and cuddly as the bears it follows. It won’t screw up your kids

    The animation in this film is beautiful. I’m a fan of the old style of drawing it on paper, then inking, then painting, as opposed to all of this Pixar-style crap Disney’s been spewing out lately (and no, Pixar movies are good, but Disney CGI films are baaaad). This style is all but dead, and Brother Bear is supposedly the second to last film to be hand-drawn. Appreciate it

    I admit that some of the music was a bid… odd. Phil Collins, being the main player in that department, does a decent job singing, but the lyrics were kind of, well, stupid. The best song is the one sung in Inuit, if that makes a difference

    I don’t want to say more in case you’re reading this despite the spoiler warning. The bottom line is, this movie is great. I love it. It’s one of my favourite Disney movies, and trust me, it’s much better than you may think if you’re of the belief it’s just another ‘get rich quick’ film. Buy it, watch it with your kids, and enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.
