Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town and has to figure out the difference and how it works.

The+Nightmare+Before+Christmas-movie+review-Deborah+Reed-DebaDoTell-2

Not without some ‘minor’ fiascoes!

The+Nightmare+Before+Christmas-movie+review-Deborah+Reed-DebaDoTell-3

Tim Burton creation with as per usual, music by Danny Elfman – both favorites of mine.  For me, this does not disappoint.

The Polar Express (2004)  G

The+Polar+Express-(2013)-Movie+review-Deborah+Reed-DebaDoTell

A young boy’s otherworldly (to me, at times oddly creepy) adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express with a kindly conductor (Tom Hanks). He learns what it is to be brave, a true friend and the spirit of Christmas.  Visually breathtaking animation.

The+Muppet+Christmas+Carol+(1992)-movie+review-Deborah+Reed-DebaDoTell-3

Probably the most kid-friendly version that is not overly frightening.

MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, Miss Piggy, Michael Caine, Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Gonzo, 1992
There is a nice mix of fuzzy cloth and flesh in THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL with Miss Piggy,  Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Gonzo and Michael Cain, as Scrooge.

Disney’s a Christmas Carol  (2009)  PG

Another animated retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel about the ‘have and have-nots’ with the Victorian-era miser (Jim Carrey)who finds peace after numerous trips into his past and future with time-traveling ghosts.  More for a bit older child as more intense than the Muppet version.
