The smallest Hyde kills a scorpion with a mallet and proceeds to put it in the smallest doll with two bigger Hyde putter the smaller dolls within the big ones like one would. Later in the film, Hyde and his smaller selves are seen preparing a Russian doll present during the song Making Christmas. As Jack tries to explain what a Christmas stocking is, Hyde gets up on stage along with his two smaller selves as they ask what's inside the stocking, hoping it has a rotten foot covered in gook. When Jack finally returns to town, a Town Meeting is held.

The next morning, when Jack went missing, he searched all over the Pumpkin Patch for him, but to no avail. After the Werewolf asks "Wasn't it terrifying?", Hyde along with the Cyclops reply "What a night!". After the song, he cheers for Jack along with the rest of the citizens. He is seen returning to Halloween Town from the main gate along with the Devil and Behemoth as they lead the Pumpkin King scarecrow of Jack Skellington into town. Hyde is seen at the beginning of the film during the song This is Halloween. Creative to see the big picture but honest enough to call out a plan that needs work, Sally’s the balance that every dreamer needs.Mr. No wonder Jack seeks out his sweet friend and says they’re truly meant to be. “She’s the only one who makes any sense around this insane asylum,” he says before forgiving Jack and the Halloween folks with a snowfall. Sally never says, “I told you so,” although her quiet courage and rationale win over Santa instantly. The fact that Jack later joins her in setting things right shows his character’s growth-and his delight in finding a kindred spirit. This spurs Sally to take matters into her own hands, trying to sabotage his sled’s flight with fog juice and rescue Santa on her own. Jack recognizes her creativity, asking her to fashion him a red suit like Santa’s, but doesn’t otherwise listen. “Creative to see the big picture but honest enough to call out a plan that needs work, Sally’s the balance that every dreamer needs.” “Though I’d like to stand by him, I can’t shake this feeling that I have.”

“I’d like to join the crowd in its enthusiastic cloud,” she laments. (He’s enchanted, naturally.) Too shy to tell Jack how she feels about him, she’s still the only one bold enough to say that she thinks his attempt to do Christmas is a dreadful idea.

She’s sly enough to dose Finkelstein with nightshade so she can slip out of his locked tower, yet nervous when gifting Jack with a potion that blooms into a ghostly butterfly. Sally has a kind heart but endearing contradictions. Sally flings herself to bits to escape the doctor’s control or sends her hands on ahead to untie the captive Santa Claus, packing a needle behind her ear and thread in her patchwork dress to make herself whole again.

She detaches and re-attaches her limbs like a superpower, as nonchalantly sewing herself back together as Bo Peep in this year’s “Toy Story 4” patching herself with tape, another doll not content to live life on a shelf. Mad scientist Dr Finkelstein created her as a caretaker and companion, but Sally has an independent streak as prevalent as her stitching. Stuffed with autumn leaves, Sally (voiced by Catherine O’Hara) frequently goes to pieces-but all by her design. She’s sly enough to dose Finkelstein with nightshade so she can slip out of his locked tower, yet nervous when gifting Jack with a potion that blooms into a ghostly butterfly.” “Sally has a kind heart but endearing contradictions. But they added the kooky residents of Halloween Town, including Sally and Oogie Boogie, the burlap-sack bogeyman and true antagonist. Tim Burton, director of “Beetlejuice”, “Batman”, and “Edward Scissorhands”, first conceived of the dapper skeleton with an existential crisis in the 1980s, writing a poem about a spooky fellow who wants more out of life than just saying, “Boo!” (A book version with Burton’s illustrations was released for the film’s twentieth anniversary.)įor the 1993 stop-motion animated film directed by Henry Selick (“James and the Giant Peach”, “Coraline”), screenwriter Caroline Thompson (“Edward Scissorhands”) and adapter Michael McDowell (“Beetlejuice”) followed the poem’s basic story where Jack, enamoured with Christmas, tries to share in its joy. Jack and Sally have been bridging two of the biggest holidays for more than 25 years now. But Sally, the clever ragdoll who first loves Jack from afar, gives “The Nightmare Before Christmas” a conscience and an extra dose of heart. We love Jack Skellington for not staying in his lane, for that exuberance that makes this Pumpkin King of Halloween want to wrap himself in Christmas like a kid flopping into a snowdrift.
