Is W.W.D. The Nightmare Before Christmas Kid-Friendly? See it Now!

by Cornell Yule

Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here movie, “w.w.d. the nightmare before christmas”, or somethin’ like that. It’s a real head-scratcher, this one, but I’ll try my best to make sense of it for ya.

This here movie, it’s about a fella named Jack, and he ain’t your regular Joe, no sirree. He’s the big cheese in this place called Halloween Town, where all sorts of creepy crawlies and spooky things live. Now, Jack, he’s got this problem. He’s plum tired of Halloween, bless his heart. Same old scares, same old screams, year after year. He’s bored out of his gourd, ya see.

One day, Jack stumbles upon somethin’ new. It’s this place called Christmas Town, all bright and shiny and full of happy folks. Jack, he’s never seen anythin’ like it. It’s all presents and reindeer and this fella named Santa Claus. And Jack, he gets this bee in his bonnet, he decides he wants to take over Christmas. He thinks he can do it better than Santa, can ya believe it?

  • Now, that’s where things start gettin’ real wacky.
  • Jack, he tells some little kids, mind ya, little kids, to go kidnap Santa Claus!
  • Can ya imagine? And then these kids, they start singin’ all sorts of mean things about what they’re gonna do to Santa, like tyin’ him up in a bag.
  • It’s enough to make your hair stand on end, I tell ya.

And then there’s this gal named Sally. She’s a rag doll, poor thing, put together by this crazy doctor. She sees that Jack’s makin’ a big mistake, but he won’t listen. He’s too busy tryin’ to figure out how to make Christmas all spooky and scary, which just ain’t right, ya know?

The whole movie, it’s kinda like a bad dream, a real nightmare before Christmas, just like the title says. There’s all sorts of monsters and ghouls and things that go bump in the night. Some folks might find it scary, I reckon, especially if they ain’t used to such things. There’s even one fella with a hatchet stuck in his head, but it’s hard to tell if he’s really hurt or if it’s just part of his costume. Like I said, it’s a head-scratcher. You don’t see things like that down at the farm, that’s for sure.

And then there’s the business with witches and vampires and all them other creatures in Halloween Town. Some folks, they say it ain’t right to be watchin’ stuff about that, especially Christian families. They say it’s got somethin’ to do with the occult, whatever that is. I don’t know much about that, but I reckon it’s somethin’ to think about.

But back to Jack and his crazy plan. He tries to deliver presents on Christmas Eve, but it’s a disaster. He scares the kids, he crashes his sleigh, and he almost gets shot down by the army! It’s a real mess, I tell ya. And Sally, she’s the one who has to fix it all. She helps Santa get free, and she saves Jack from makin’ a fool of himself.

In the end, Jack realizes he was wrong. Christmas ain’t his thing, and he should stick to Halloween. He gives Santa his job back, and everything goes back to normal. Well, as normal as things can be in a place like Halloween Town, anyway.

So, what’s the point of this whole movie? I reckon it’s about findin’ your place in the world and not tryin’ to be somethin’ you ain’t. Jack, he tried to be Santa, but it didn’t work out. He’s good at bein’ scary, not jolly. And that’s okay. We all got our own talents and our own ways of doin’ things. And that’s somethin’ worth rememberin’, ya see.

Now, this here “w.w.d. the nightmare before christmas” movie, it ain’t for everyone. It’s kinda weird and spooky, and some folks might not like it. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different, somethin’ that’ll make you think, then it might be worth a watch. Just don’t blame me if you have nightmares afterwards!

And remember what I told ya, this movie it ain’t real life. It’s just a story, so don’t go gettin’ any ideas about kidnappin’ Santa Claus yourself, you hear? You go messin’ with Santa, and you’ll end up on the naughty list for sure.

This whole “nightmare before christmas” thing, it’s a lot to take in. It’s got monsters, and a crazy scientist, and a fella who don’t know his place. It’s a stop motion picture, they call it. Took ‘em a long time to make, movin’ all them little dolls and things around just so. Someone told me it was made back in 1993. That’s a long time ago! Folks still watchin’ it though, so I reckon it must be somethin’ special.

And Tim Burton, he had somethin’ to do with it too, or so I’ve heard. He’s a fella who likes his spooky stuff. He also directed a movie called “Beetlejuice.” Now, that one was a real hoot! But that’s a story for another day.

So, there you have it. That’s my take on this here “w.w.d. the nightmare before christmas” movie. Hope it made some kinda sense to ya. It’s a strange one, for sure, but it’s got a good message, if you look hard enough. Just remember to be yourself, and don’t go around tryin’ to be somebody you ain’t. And leave Santa Claus alone, bless his heart.
