>> Crazy Nate: Welcome back Gents and Gentlets to our haunted holiday blast
where it’s not quite Christmas but Halloween has already past
Pay attention to what is said for this video will go fast
You commented what should be next, and I chose to abide
Now let’s talk about what happens when two holidays collide.
the nightmare before Christmas Here’s Everything inside.
[intro music plays]
>> Crazy Nate: Tim Burton is one unique cookie isn't he?
I mean some of his movies are way out there, I mean am I right?
Well I hate to throw a monkey wrench in your little thought process there, but Tim Burton
didn’t actually make the movie Nightmare Before Christmas.
>> Minion: What?
>> Crazy Nate: That’s right, Henry Selick is responsible for making the nightmare.
and another stop motion that he was responsible for was the Pillsbury dough boy commercials.
That’s right, that was actually stop motion back in the days, now days it's all animated
and everything of course.
Like Pixar.
Tim did however make the Corpse Bride.
Then why in the world is Tim’s name clearly on the cover you ask?
Well that's what we call click bait my dear friend!
That’s right they slapped his name right on top of the movie cover hoping that you
would go watch the movie,
Chances are you probably did because his name was up there.
However, technically the story did actually come from Tim, he just didn't direct the movie.
He was inspired one day while walking past a store window and he saw employees were taking
down Halloween decorations,
and Putting up Christmas spice, and so he thought what in the world would happen if
two holidays were to collide.
and that's where the magic of the Nightmare Before Christmas came.
And so technically he did write the story, and technically the story is his, but he didn't
direct it.
So it should actually be called Henry Selick's the Nightmare before Christmas, not Tim Burton's
the Nightmare Before Christmas.
But chances are if they called it Henry Selick's, you probably would of never watched it.
Tim Burton wasn’t the only click bait they used for this movie though.
Disney originally released the movie under it's baby company called Touchstone Pictures,
because they want you to think that Disney only makes family friendly movies,
which they don't.
and they were afraid The nightmare before Christmas might be a little bit too dark for
their audience.
>> Oogie Boogie: Oweee I'm really scared!
>> Crazy Nate: It wasn’t until after everyone loved it that Disney decided to re release
it as theirs.
They also wanted Jack to have eyes during the creation of the movie because they thought
that might be a little bit too creepy,
and Henry was like um no that’s OK, he doesn’t need eyes.
Thanks anyways.
The reason Jack Skellington has stripes on his clothes isn’t for style.
It’s actually so you can see him, otherwise he would just disappear into the dark backgrounds
behind him in Halloween Town.
Originally his suit was all black, but that just wasn't working.
Naturally the Mayor of Halloween town has two faces, it’s to parallel that most real
life politicians seem to have two faces.
Joe Ranft was one of our loved favorites from Pixars, and before he started his journey
with Pixar, he was actually helping on this movie as one of the storyboard supervisors,
he also was the voice of Igor, you know Dr. Finkelstein's pet.
>> Igor: The Plans!
>> Crazy Nate: The guy that likes dog biscuits.
>> Dr. Finkelstein: Excellent Igor!
>> Crazy Nate: Interesting fact, Zero the dog was made up from Lead, so the creators
definitely had to wash their hands after handling this ghostly dog.
When Jack is soaring through the clouds as Santa Clause.
Those clouds actually weren't animated, they were made from cotton, and though it sounds
like that would be an easy thing to do, the cloud scene was actually a very difficult
scene to make.
Jack the skeleton was already dead, so when he got shot out of the sky by the military
>> Jack Skellington: Merry Christmas to all!
>> Crazy Nate: he would be dead a second time right?
>> Oogie Boogie: They said that you were dead?
>> Crazy Nate: Well, if you listen closely to Oogie Boogie that's why he said you must
be double dead.
>> Oogie Boogie: You must be double dead!
Bye bye.
doll face and sand man...
>> Smee: Captain, no splash?
>> Hook: Not a sound.
>> Oogie Boogie: What the?
Pirate: Not a blooming ripple.
>> Crazy Nate: Even though in the beginning Mickey Mouse was afraid to put his name on
the cover of the movie,
he wasn’t afraid to show his face in the movie.
When Jack Skellington is trying to figure out the secret behind the joy of Christmas
if you look over there on the right hand side of the table you will see a pair of Mickey
Mouse ears.
Another Mickey that we get to see is in this cart of pumpkins, if you watch the black pumpkins
closely at the last second they turn into a perfect Mickey Mouse.
The best time we get to see Mickey though is when the boy and girl go to see what old
Saint Nick got them.
The girl has Mickey Mouse pajamas on, and the boy has Donald Duck pajamas.
No arguments there, that's clearly an easter egg.
Sorry cat lovers, apparently Dr. Finkelstein’s not a cat fan either.
>> Dr. Finkelstein: Curiosity killed the cat you know.
>> Jack Skellington: I know
>> Crazy Nate: And for the record just because you're not a cat lover, doesn't mean you're
a cat hater.
>> Belle: Far off places, daring sword fights.
>> Crazy Nate: So if Tim Burton was so busy that he couldn’t work on the Nightmare Before
Christmas, and he had to pass the project on to someone one else,
then what the heck was he working on that kept him so busy?
He was busy making the movie Batman Returns.
There was a few shout outs to Tim’s movie in the Nightmare Before Christmas.
Like the bat here is drawn to be almost a perfect reference of the batman logo,
and this toy duck got shot up with a bunch of bullets,
ironically the bad guy in Batman Returns rides around in a little duck shooting up the place
with a bunch of bullets.
Speaking of bats, because this is a stop motion the stuff that flies can’t actually fly,
so they have to hold them in the air somehow,
well if you look closely at the bats you can see all the thin strings holding them up.
Jack Skellington is like a darker version of the Mickey Mouse in other movies.
That’s right Jack skeleton has many appearances all over the place, including a few video
games,
though we typically only see him in movies with a certain level of darkness to them,
like he’s a Pirate in James and the Giant Peach.
Or in the movie Alice in Wonderland, we can see Jack is on the Mad Hatters bow-tie.
One of the weird statues in the background behind Jack Skellington might look a little
bit familiar,
that’s probably because it resembles the famous painting "Scream".
And of course here, we are referencing to Shakespeare, he even said Shakespeare.
>> Jack Skellington: To recite Shakespearean quotations..
>> Crazy Nate: More specifically it’s from Hamlet Act 5 Scene 1.
My high school English teacher would be shocked I figured that one out.
Danny Elfman was in charge of the music and lyrics of the movie,
which is pretty much the entire movie since most of it's singing.
Back in the day though, he was in a band called Oingo Boingo,
This part right here, is a little reference to the band.
>> kids: Tender Lumplings everywhere…
>> Crazy Nate: Tender Lumplings is from one of his songs,
>> Oingo Boingo: And so my Tender Lumplings...
>> Kids: Life's no fun without a good scare.
>> Crazy Nate: Danny Elfman also mad a Cameo in the movie, if you look inside the bass
from the band you will see his head sitting inside there, quite literally.
We get to see a couple of names from the cast made it to Santa’s naughty or nice list.
Like Deane Taylor the Art Director… or Allison Abbate the artistic coordinator
Being stop motion you’re always going to see some sort of mistakes or continuity errors,
and I’m just going to go ahead and let them slide because stop motion is such a time consuming
art that they get a free pass.
One mistake I can’t let slide though, and just have to point out, is when this weirdo
is making hats that Peta would never approve of,
if you look at that latch, it magically teleports through the lock.
Vincine Price was originally going to be the voice actor for Santa clause,
however his wife recently died, and he obviously felt very sad, and it leaked out through his
voice in the film,
and so that wasn't going to work.
Sadly, or romantically depending on your perspective, Vincine Price died just 12 days after the
Nightmare before Christmas was released.
If you ever get a chance to go to Disney Land, make sure you check out the Haunted Mansion
Ride.
Obviously this would be the type of ride you would expect to find Jack Skellington in,
and you would be correct if you thought you saw him.
That’s right they have Jack Skellington and a few other easter eggs from the Nightmare
Before Christmas hidden in the Haunted Mansion Ride.
Of course you're gonna see a bunch of hidden Mickeys in there as well.
Here’s a quick cheat to help you get started on your adventure.
>> Jack Skellington: Look Zero, I think they like our Christmas.
Have you been naughty or nice?
I like this Christmas thing.
Tim Burton said there's not going to be a sequel to the Nightmare before Christmas though,
like Jack visits thanksgiving or something like that,
because he thinks it wouldn’t be very true to the fans i
Meanwhile these bloody Pirates over here built a sequel making machine.
>> Elizabeth Turner: Bloody Pirates!
