2. The Nightmare before Christmas (18 Votes)

This Tim Burton musical is considered a masterpiece by some. It is the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. He discovers trees in the woods, with a different holiday on the front of each one. His decision to visit Christmas Town in order to spice things up results in Santa Claus being kidnapped and tortured. Although the movie has its gothic side, it is actually a story of how people sometimes believe that others are better off than they are. The moral of this story is that “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” philosophy is not necessarily true, and that people need to follow their own dreams, not the dreams of others.
