Sally's background was more relatable she didn't live in a castle with a doting parent but instead lived with a bully of a dad in the form of Dr. On top of this, there were so many nuances that this film picked up that other production companies hadn't explored. That said, The Nightmare Before Christmas is hardly underrated - a good thing, given the amount of work and care that went into its creation - so the romantic ending must have paid off for many viewers, cementing the film as a perennial Christmas… Halloween… Thanksgiving classic, that looks to the year ahead with a hopeful eye.In contrast to the cheery backgrounds that were typical of animation at the time, Tim Burton took us down a beautiful dark and winding road filled with glorious monsters and holiday cheer in "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Even though this setting is a stark contrast to what viewers were used to at the time, it helps make the story feel more organic.

This likely played into their creative decision to cut the closing narration, though - in gaining a more forward-facing ending - they ended up losing the cyclical structure utilized in many great holiday stories. Now, aside from the obvious question (how can a Frankenstein-type creature and a literal skeleton reproduce?), one has to wonder why Selick and his team didn’t use this epilogue narration? As it stands, the ending of the film is very hopeful and forward-looking, with Jack and Sally finally getting together, while the cut epilogue is more reflective and almost bittersweet. The Narrator asks Jack whether he remembers the night when he almost destroyed Christmas, and whether he would relive those events, all over again, knowing what he knows now - to which, Jack replies coyly, “ Wouldn’t you?” Nightmare Before Christmas 2 is, in effect, the original Nightmare Before Christmas. The album's penultimate track, “ Closing”, is narrated by Patrick Stewart and details how his unseen character re-visits Jack and Sally many years later, revealing that they have “ four or five” skeleton children who play in a xylophone band. have yet to produce a Nightmare Before Christmas sequel, an additional track on the soundtrack album reveals what happened to Jack and Sally after the events of the hit movie.
