The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop-motion animated musical fantasy series created by Tim Burton, which began as a film directed by Henry Selick and distributed by Disney.
The film follows Jack Skellington, the King of "Halloween Town", who is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. He stumbles upon the vibrant Christmas Town, and is so dazzled by the community's festivity that he tries to get the residents of Halloween Town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween.
