Summery: On-screen, Jack Skellington leaps with joy, singing with wonder at his discovery of Christmas Town. He seems so real, so alive, that we believe both he and his fantastical world must somehow exist.
But in reality it is not Jack who is the star of the show; it is the over 140 artists and technicians who spent more than two years bringing Jack and all his cohorts to life on the screen. Every gesture Jack makes was created by a human hand, by an animator who moved the puppet in tiny increments from frame to frame. Every character, every set, every prop - even the candy dances - had to be designed and then actually fabricated by someone. This book tells the true story of the film, highlighting the art and the vision that make the movie so memorable.

Review: This book has not only the songs, and art from the film, it also has illustrations, and original sketches from Tim Burton. It also has behind the scenes pictures of the making of the movie, as well as the background on how they made the movie. I love the film, it's one of my favorites, so this is a very fun book to own. If you love the film, or you'd like to read how it was made, or you enjoy the art form the film, this would definitely a fun, and enjoyable book to have.
Hope everybody has/had a great day : )
