However, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, has grown rather tired of the same old thing, and yearns for something new in his life. After the current year's celebration of Halloween, the morose Jack goes for a long walk out of town, where he happens to walk into several portals that lead to all the other holiday towns. Immediately attracted by the Christmas tree shaped one, he ventures into Christmas Town. There he discovers the wonders of the bright and jolly, and becomes obsessed with understanding Christmas. He returns to Halloween town and informs the townsfolk of Christmas, but both his and their understanding of the holiday is limited by their experience of Halloween. In a Perspective Flip of the typical Christmas Special plot of \"monsters try to steal Christmas,\" Jack declares with perfectly good intentions that he will take over Christmas duties for the year, sending some somewhat homicidal children to kidnap \"Sandy Claws\" for an enforced vacation. The whole town groups together to create Christmas but Sally the rag doll, who is secretly in love with Jack, has a vision that it will be a disaster. She's right, of course. Throw all that in with a boogie man fashioned from a burlap sack filled with insects, rousing musical numbers, Nightmare Fuel abounds for the young ones and some truly brilliant imagery and directing, and you get the now classic film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Starting in 2006, it's gotten a theatrical re-release once a year at Halloween time, with a somewhat disappointingly light-handed makeover into a 3D Movie. Compare Coraline, which is from the same director. The difference likely has to do with the fact that Coraline was intended to be a 3-D film from the time it began filming. The 3-D version of The Nightmare Before Christmas was retrofitted approximately thirteen years after its original release. It has a ridiculously large and well-documented article on Wikipedia. Seriously, just look at it. It also has a fan website called the Pumpkin Patch. The series would later gain a sequel in video game form on the Play Station 2 titled Oogie's Revenge and a prequel, The Pumpkin King on the Game Boy Advance. Halloween Town and Jack alsos appear in almost every game in the Kingdom Hearts series.
