he film begins in Halloween Town, a magical world inhabited by various creatures who make elaborate plans for a dark ceremony every year on October 31, hoping for each Halloween to be superior to the last. Though the residents of Halloween Town are always up for a trick or a good scare, they never truly mean to hurt anyone with their holiday. The land is led by Jack Skellington, a slender undead creature who is thought to be the scariest being in the entire world. As the townspeople celebrate their annual ceremony, Jack feels depressed, wishes for variety, and wonders whether there is more to life than scaring people. Meanwhile, Jack's secret admirer, Sally the Rag Doll, watches him from afar, although she is constantly abused by her control-seeking creator, Doctor Finklestein.While wandering in the woods, Jack and his ghostly pet dog, Zero, encounter portals leading to other holiday-themed worlds. Jack accidentally enters Christmas Town, a land of eternal joy and winter, and is amazed by the population's joyous behavior. Jack, wishing to embrace this culture, quickly returns to Halloween Town, where he presents the townspeople with his slightly inaccurate impressions of Christmas. The townspeople, interested in the holiday, agree to celebrate Christmas this year.Jack decides to operate the holiday, eventually becoming obsessed with Christmas and deciding to usurp the role of Santa Claus. Every resident is assigned a task, although Sally believes that his plans will lead to ruin. There is some foreshadowing to suggest that she is correct; because the people of Halloween Town have lived all their lives by scaring people, the Christmas gifts and decorations they create are more frightening and grotesque than pleasing. Jack ignores Sally's warning and commissions her to create his Christmas outfit. Jack then assigns Lock, Shock, and Barrel, a trio of mischievous, child-like monsters representing trick-or-treaters, to transport Santa to Halloween Town. They, after mistakenly capturing (and, on Jack's orders, returning) the Easter Bunny, successfully kidnap Santa Claus. Against Jack's wishes and largely for their own amusement, the trio deliver Santa to the lair of Oogie Boogie, a sadistic, compulsive gambler who plots to play a game with Santa's life.December 25 soon arrives; although Sally attempts to stop him, Jack embarks into the sky on a coffin-like sled pulled by skeletal reindeer (all three created by Finklestein), hoping to deliver presents to children around the world; while the townspeople are overjoyed, Sally wanders off alone to be miserable. As Jack begins delivering gifts, children are horrified by their monstrous, animated presents, while their parents believe Jack to be a monster attempting to imitate Santa Claus. The military shoot him out of the sky, destroying his sleigh. Although Jack is initially depressed, he realizes he is still the ruler of Halloween Town and can bring joy to the world in his own way.Sally attempts to free Santa, only to be captured by Oogie Boogie. Just as they are about to be killed by immersion in a foul stew, Jack arrives and challenges their captor. Oogie Boogie flees, placing his complex, sophisticated, deadly gaming machines in Jack's path as obstacles. However, Oogie Boogie becomes tangled in one of his own machines and is (with Jack's intervention) split open, revealing himself to be merely an animated sackful of insects. Most of Oogie's "bugs" fall into the stew and are boiled alive.Santa Claus, freed, reprimands Jack, and then sets off to correct Christmas by exchanging Jack's frightening toys for more pleasant playthings. This he does successfully. Jack and Sally return to Halloween Town, aided by a reformed Lock, Shock, and Barrel. There, they kiss atop a spiral-shaped, flexible extension of land, while Zero looks on from afar. Sally has been replaced in Doctor Finklestein's service by another mannequin, leaving her free to live with Jack.。
《圣诞夜惊魂》一句话评论
A ghoulish tale with wicked humour & stunning animation.
僵尸新娘
《僵尸新娘》并没有这个题目所宣扬的那样恐怖,很多人认为,它其实更多是传递了温馨的感觉。而且以动画片来表现的故事,原本就有很多可爱的元素,虽然也是在谈鬼论神,但是注定不同于传统意义上的恐怖片。所以这部电影的类型是动画、喜剧和幻想,恐怖只是一种表面意义上的东西,不是电影的主旨。而面对这部电影人们所发出的惊叫声实质上也是基于对电影的赞叹,基本和内心的恐惧无关。
实质上,这是一部温馨的电影,乐观、活泼而且很有味道,它实现了一种突破,虽然它依然继承了了蒂姆·波顿的阴暗。因而这部电影也几乎是所有人所期待的,用动画片,甚至是木偶的形式来表现一个异乎寻常的世界。毫无疑问,它让虚构现实的老顽童找到了新的施展拳脚的舞台,也让观众开始重新认识蒂姆·波顿的电影风格的多样化。
