The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great family show! It is a funny portrayal of the different holidays we celebrate and what it is like to actually live in those holidays year round!

The ‘people’ of Halloween Town seem to think that all there is to life is scaring people. Jack, the skeleton guy ruler of Halloween Town, thinks there must be something else out there. There must be more to life than just this year-long preparation for the ‘Best Halloween Yet’ every single year.

He takes a walk with his ‘dog’ and stumbles into a portal with doors leading to different holidays. He accidentally falls into the Christmas one. He is astonished and surprised at all of the jolliness of the townspeople.

He quickly goes home and describes it to everyone back in Halloween Town. And he decides to kidnap ‘Sandy Claws’ and run Christmas himself! What happens is nothing short of a disaster, though!

Luckily, things wind up turning out alright. I won’t tell you what happens, in case you haven’t seen it yet. Things do turn out fine, though, and there is even a little romance brewing throughout the film!

The new Collector’s Edition release of the film comes with plenty of extra features and it also comes with something that is totally new to me. I had to look it up on Amazon to really understand what it was. It is called a Disney Digital File that you can put in your computer and copy it to your hard drive or you can copy it to a compatible iTunes or Windows Media portable player. So you can watch it on the go – or even just on your computer.
