Is it a Christmas film or a Halloween film?

5 stars

01 Feb 2021

I can't believe i haven't already reviewed this. This is my favourite Halloween film and would be my favourite Christmas film if Nativity! And Nativity 2! didn't exist. I'm going to start of with the music, it let's of such a weird vibe like there are certain songs like This is Halloween where it's quite scary for younger viewers considering it's a Disney film, then he checks and sees it's a Tim Burton film and is not shocked anymore. But i really love the whole controversy where some people moan it's a Halloween film and the other moan It's a Christmas film. I think it's a Halloween film, mainly because most of it is set in Halloweentown and the characters are overly spooky. The animation in this film is spectacular considering it is a stop motion film and i recommend watching the Nightmare Before Christmas episode of Prop Culture on Disney+.to hear facts and to see the original models they used in the film. This is a really good film and definitely a Disney gem.
