30th Anniversary
As this beloved animated classic celebrates its 30th anniversary, it continues to enchant audiences of all ages with its unique blend of Halloween and Christmas magic, unforgettable characters, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by Danny Elfman. Join Jack, Sally, and the rest of the quirky residents of Halloween Town as they rediscover the true meaning of both holidays in this timeless tale of self-discovery and holiday spirit.
In Halloween Town, a place dedicated to all things spooky and frightening, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, has grown tired of the same old routine. Longing for something new and exciting, he stumbles upon Christmas Town, a place filled with joy and cheer. Enthralled by the idea of Christmas, Jack decides to take over the holiday, but his good intentions lead to chaotic and hilarious consequences.
