Pros: Entertaining, unique animated holiday movie.
Cons: Few things could upset younger children.
Summary: It seems like every year at least one new holiday movie is released. I've seen and enjoyed several of them while others haven rsquo;t been as good. I do tend to watch the ones I like over and over. There have been many movies made connected to ...

Pros: Your children will experience a whole new world with TB's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Cons: May be frightening to younger children, defies Christmas in some opinions.
Summary: The Nightmare Before Christmas was, in my opinion, one of Tim Burton's best productions. Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town ( a place where monsters, ghosts, vampires, witches, etc. spend all year preparing for Halloween ) is tired of the ...

Pros: Fun music and great gags for adults
Cons: Too dark for young kids, one diminsional characters
Summary: I must confess I've always wondered a little at the love many people seem to have for Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'd seen it once on TV and didn't think much of it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I ...

Pros: very innovative, quite an original story, interesting characters, a classic in its own right
Cons: personally I wanted it to be more scary

Pros: Animation, singing, story
Cons: Santa Claus character, some parts too scary for young children
