A stunningly original and visually delightful work of stop-motion animation, following the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world" and having discovered Christmas Town, attempts to bring Christmas to his Hallowe'en-themed world.
‘…a major step forward for both stop-motion animation, which is stunningly well used, and for Mr. Burton himself. He now moves from the level of extremely talented eccentric to that of Disney-style household word.’ Janet Maslin, New York Times
‘…a veritable bounty of visual delights.’ Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
‘The dazzling techniques employed here create a strikinglook that's never been seen in such sustained form, making this a unique curio that will appeal to kids and film enthusiasts alike.’ Todd McCarthy, Variety
Gwaith syfrdanol o wreiddiol a gweledol-bleserus o animeiddio stop-motion, yn dilyn camanturiaethau Jack Skellington, brenin pwmpen annwyl Halloweentown, sydd wedi diflasu ar yr un hen drefn flynyddol o godi ofn ar bobl yn y "byd go iawn" ac sydd - ar ôl darganfod Christmas Town - yn ceisio cyflwyno'r Nadolig i'w fyd ar thema Calan Gaeaf.
