    This is a unique and unprecedented film. It will never be matched as far as artistic style and execution are concerned. It is a holiday classic that can be viewed both at Halloween and Christmas! So great. Seriously something else. The animation is simultaneously creepy and endearing. I don't exactly understand how something with this flavor can be produced. I don't need to know. It's great. It's not my favorite movie ever or anything, but it deserves universal acclaim.… Expand
