The Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my favourite films as a kid, all those years ago when it came out. It was on constant repeat in our house, I remember it so well, and it is still one of the best animations I have seen.

I thought this might be of interest to other fans of the film, this is the poem behind the story. I love it, its wonderful.

Tim Burtons Poem

ahh! I love TIm Burton! that was a good poem! I always loved that movie. me and my family watch it all of the time!

My sister and I had our parents tortured with it on constant repeat

The film follows that poem closely. Its fantastic.

My 'delicate' 7 yr old son just watched Nightmare for the first time about a month ago. I was a little concerned he would get scared, but he declared to me "This isn't scary. Its cool!"

Love Tim Burton - the man is twisted in just the right way.

I was about five years old when I first seen it, must have been around the time of its release. It was a present from my uncle, and my mum wouldn't let us watch it alone

I can't wait for his new film, 'Corpse Bride' it looks awesome.

I was about 5 too. We didn't annoy my parents, they loved it! The new movie looks awesome! I came in about halfway through the comercial thing, and I could tell it was Tim Burton by the way the main character is so freaking tall. Also the Corpse Bride bares a resemblence to Sally.

Yes, I thought she looked like Sally too. Its a great story line, its gonna be really good. Tim Burton is a genius.

Yes yes I have not met one person who doesn't like his work. Of course there are some that haven't heard of him, but we can always educate them

God! I love Tim Burton! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was fantastic! Nightmare Before Christmas was incredible. I know Corpse Bride is going to be great. The animation is beautiful.

Nightmare before christmas is such a classic. I love it! I used to watch it all the time as a kid, and if I ever see it on TV I try and watch it .

This is still one of my favorite movies. I love it so much. The poem is lovely too. Tim Burton is genius. Everything he does is so spectacular. I love him!

Has anyone read any other poems by Tim? They're really very good. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy is my favorite.

Nightmare Before Christmas is cool.

Did you know that Jack pops up in quite a few of his movies...

In James and the Giant Peach, he was the captain of the sunken ship, he was also in Beetlejuice, on top of Beetlejuice's carousel hat towards the end when Beetlejuice rises out of the floor, after summoned by Lydia, I also think he is one of the hedges that Ed cuts in Edward Scissorhands and I heard he pops up in Sleepy Hollow somewhere too...

Tim Burton has my idea of the creepiest imagination and I LOVE it!!! all his movies are so magical and thought provoking!! I like how he is not afraid to use his favorite actors over and over! Did he do Big Fish?? I think so but can't remember...Helena was in that too right??

yah he did Big Fish it was awesome!

Tim Burton is a genius.

That is one of my secret favorite movies...I never get tired of watching it!

For those interested in the Corpse Bride, you can watch two teaser trailers and an exclusive interview on This website

Oh, I love the Nightmare before Christmas sooo much... I used to watch it all day long when I was around 9 or 10 years old and I still watch it very often, it's just a perfect movie.
