The Nightmare Before Christmas/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Jack might have kept his tuxedo on beneath the Sandy Claws outfit because Sally's warning bugged him more then he let on.

* Consider the fact that with the exception of the titular nightmare, that the [[Halloweentown]] citizens most likely only interacted with humans on Halloween. As humans ''wanted'' to be scared on Halloween, it makes prefect sense that the citizens would assume that humans liked to be scared on a daily basis!

* Jack's got really long fingers, doesn't he? But he doesn't seem to have palms; his fingers just connect to his wrist. That's because he doesn't have skin to keep his metacarpals together!

** Slight problem with that Brilliance -- if you look at Jack's fingers, there's only three bones to each finger. The only metacarpal Jack seem to have is on his thumb, the other fingers are the digital bones.

== [[Fridge Logic]] ==

* A minor one, but if Jack can survive being blown up and at least a mile-high fall onto a stone statue without ill effect, why does Sally pricking him with a needle hurt him?

** I say he survived it because an angel caught him.

** WMG: Jack (and possibly all of Halloween town) follow the rules of the [[Fair Folk]] or something similar, and the needle was made of [[Cold Iron]]. Or maybe needles are his [[Kryptonite Factor]]. Or maybe he's only [[Nigh Invulnerable]] when he's expecting danger?

== [[Fridge Horror]] ==

* There's an entire alternate reality universe devoted to Thanksgiving. Think about it for a moment. Brrrrrrrr.

** Also, at the end we see Santa setting things right and rescuing everyone from the Halloweenish-Christmas toys -- [[Inferred Holocaust|except for the little old lady who gets a man-eating wreath.]]

*** Oh, [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]]. Consider the fact that the military shoots Jack down over a suburban area. This is quite a dangerous move, but think of what must of happened for the military to resort to such a tactic. Considering that a lot of the toys were attacking ''children'', one has to ask ''[[What the Hell, Hero?|what the hell]] [[Shoot the Dog|did you do]] [[Idiot Hero|Jack]]!?!'' Though this [[Fridge Horror]] is subverted when you consider [[Halloweentown]]'s reaction to Oogie Boogie, it's unlikely they would make anything that would ''kill'' anyone.<ref> [[Blue and Orange Morality]] aside, the citizens still seem to believe killing = bad</ref> Then it's [[Double Subverted]] when you realize that with [[Blue and Orange Morality]], the citizens may not realize that human children are more fragile then [[Halloweentown]] children.

*** Now, add this to the [[Fridge Horror]]: the skeletons in Oogie's lair are still sentient, ''so the torture doesn't stop after you're dead.''

** Another Fridge Horror moment: you don't pay attention to the Mayor's speech before Jack's take-off because of the fog rolling in (because Sally put Fog Juice into the fountain) but some of the things the Mayor praises about Jack are "you who have frightened billions into an early grave!" and "You who have eh, devastated the souls of the living . . ." That's right, ''Jack has frightened people to death'' (Then again, the Mayor could have been exaggerating and the people killed could have been [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] for all we know). Still disturbing.

*** In fact, considering Jack's [[Mood Swinger|violent mood swings]], one has to wonder how sane ol' Jack is . . .

** The skeletons in Oogie Boogie's lair look much more like humans than the monsters and ghouls of Halloween Town. Which possibly means that his victims were kidnapped ''from our world.''

* In Oogie Boogie's song; a snake keeps popping out of his mouth. But then if you think about it, that snake is probably his tongue... So every time he did that; he was licking Sandy Claws.
