The Nightmare Before Christmas at Segerstrom Hall

From the creative genius of Tim Burton comes this quirky and imaginative animated feature. Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King and ruler of Halloween Town, is tired of doing the same holiday routine every year, so he decides to hijack another holiday and give it his very own special twist, with disastrous – and hilarious – results. With fantastic stop motion animation, and songs written by Danny Elfman, Nightmare is a dazzling mix of fun and fright – that is perfect no matter the Season!

Rated PG, 1993, 1 hour and 16 minutes
