What it is: The Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, Jack Skellington, discovers the existence of other holidays as he is bored with the frights and scares of Halloween. He becomes fascinated by Christmas and decides to take on the role of Santa - with disastrous results.


Why we're showing it: This stop-motion musical has become a modern-day classic, with memorable songs, charming characters and incredible stop-motion animated sequences. With the vision of producer Tim Burton, director Henry Selick and his talented voice cast created a whole new world to delight audiences both young and old.
