The Nightmare Before Christmas Trivia Facts
Did you know...
In the Italian version, Jack is voiced over by Renato Zero.
In the German version, Sally was dubbed by Nina Hagen
In the song, "This is Halloween," the lyrics "... tender lumplings everywhere..." refers to "Tender Lumplings," a song done by composer Danny Elfman when he was with Oingo Boingo.
Behemoth is based on B-movie actor/Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson.
Jack makes his first lengthy appearance in Beetle Juice (1988) on top of Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton)'s carousel hat towards the end when Beetlejuice rises out of the floor, after summoned by Lydia (Winona Ryder). Although this was Jack's longer appearance, he actually first appeared in Tim Burton's "Vincent" (1982), in minute 4:45, even if it is a very brief appearance.
The cat from Tim Burton's first film, Vincent (1982) is present in the beginning of the film. It's the cat that jumps onto the garbage can.
Patrick Stewart did the original introduction for the movie, which can be heard on the film's soundtrack.
Tim Burton has said the original poem was inspired after seeing Halloween merchandise display in a store being taken down and replaced by a Christmas display. The juxtaposition of ghouls and goblins with Santa and his reindeer sparked his imagination.
The snake seen in the movie, is the Saturn Sandworm from Beetle Juice (1988).
Two items were invented to facilitate the filming of the movie: One was a "light alarm" which would warn the animators if any of the stage lights failed to come on. The other was a system that enabled a puppeteer to seamlessly switch to a replacement puppet if a puppet broke during a shot. Prior to this, either situation, a light failing to come on or a puppet breaking would destroy a shot.
An excerpt from the Batman (1989) theme can be heard when the search-lights are looking for Jack.
Two toys that Jack delivers reference Batman Returns (1992), the film Tim Burton had directing commitments towards at the time. One is an evil duck on wheels, which is the vehicle that Penguin drives. The other is an evil cat doll, which has the same head as the mascot for Shreck's corporation.
This was the first movie to ever be fully animated using the stop-motion technique that was favored by Tim Burton for special effects in some of his other movies for its surreal quality. The animators received Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects as a result, but lost to ILM who created the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park (1993)
Tim Burton had hoped to direct, but placed Henry Selick in the director's chair instead as Burton was busy working on Batman Returns (1992).
In the original Poem Written by Tim Burton the only characters that existed were Jack, Zero and Santa. All the other characters were made up for the movies, although he describes some of the presents which were given out including in some cases the names of the children.
Oogie Boogie is inspired by Cab Calloway, who provided character voices and musical numbers for several Fleischer Bros. cartoons; he and Santas Claus quote dialog from the Betty Boop short "The Old Man of the Mountain", when Santa asks,(quoting Betty's line) "What are you going to do now?", and Oogie returns Calloway's(as the Old Man) "Goin' do the best I can..."
Danny Elfman did the singing voice for Jack because Chris Sarandon said he did not have a good singing voice.
It took a group of around 100 people three years to complete this movie. For one second of film, up to 22 stop-motion moves had to be made.

- My son is 3 years old. His birthday is in August. He wears a size 8 perfect, a 9 to let his foot grow into it. They measure 7-8 inches in length. He is a toddler. Anyway, he watches Nightmare Before Christmas about 3 times a day! He loves the movie! My 15 year old got some Jack Skellington slippers for Christmas, a size 7-8 in womens (11 inches long). He wants to wear them! They are way too big for him. Why do they not make these in smaller childrens sizes? He loves the movie and characters. It isn't fair.
