For those who never thought Disney would release a film in which Santa Claus is kidnapped and tortured, well, here it is! His benignly scary-funny sensibility dominates the story of Halloweentown resident Jack Skellington who stumbles on a bizarre and fascinating alternative universe called ... Christmastown! As Roger Ebert noted in his review, "some of the Halloween creatures might be a tad scary for smaller children, but this is the kind of movie older kids will eat up; it has the kind of offbeat, subversive energy that tells them wonderful things are likely to happen." --from Jim Emerson's review on Amazon.com
