Line 114:
* [[Fan Girl|As much as I love Jack]], the part where he gets angry at Lock, Shock, and Barrel for going through the wrong door seems pretty douchey to me. I mean, he didn't even ''tell'' them that there's more than one door, it's his fault that they kidnapped the Easter Bunny!
** Actually, he said "Which door? There's more than one!". They just got the wrong shape.
** When Jack gives Lock, Shock, and Barrel their orders, he's basically giving a lecture on Christmas and is surrounded with Christmas iconography. If LS&B weren't idiots, they'd have either 1) figured out the door that looked like the thing Jack is standing next to is probably the one they want, or 2) upon seeing there were multiple doors, go back and ask which one to use rather than just going through one at random and kidnapping the first large living thing they came across. Yes, Jack probably should have been more specific, but he's probably used to giving orders to people that pay attention to him and apply some basic critical thinking to what he asks for.
* This troper's been thinking . . . is Sally really a [[Stalker with a Crush]]? The only times Sally is stalking without due cause (trying to get Jack to not go through with Christmas) that I can think of is when she listens to Jack in "Jack's Lament" and when she goes to give him the little gift basket. The former actually doesn't really count, as she was there first when Jack came into the cemetery. So is she?
** Yes.
Line 121 ⟶ 122:
{{quote|A form of harassment generally comprised of repeated persistent following with no legitimate reason and with the intention of harming, or so as to arouse anxiety or fear of harm in the person being followed. Stalking may also take the form of harassing telephone calls, computer communications, letter-writing, etc.//}}
** So, at least by that definition and, if the website is to be believed, legally, Sally isn't a stalker, as in "Jack's Lament" and when she delivers the food basket, she didn't have the intention of harm<ref> and, like this troper said before, '''Sally was in the graveyard first''', not to mention she did have a somewhat valid reason for not wanting to be seen: 1. she's obviously very shy, and 2. when Jack starts to singing how he doesn't want to be the Pumpkin King anymore, it's pretty understandable why Sally didn't want to interrupt him. The Pumpkin King doesn't ''want'' the crown anymore? What is this!?! (His singing probably didn't hurt either)</ref>, and as for all the other times, trying to get your best friend (as they obviously are friends) to not get himself into trouble (remember that Sally's premeditation had a Christmas tree going up into flames, so the trouble is pretty big) is a pretty legitimate reason to follow him.
*** The legal definition is what determines whether someone can be charged with stalking under the law. The broader definition of stalking is just used to describe a behavior someone engages in. For example, the stuff that Sally does is referred to as stalking in anime ''all the time'' by characters within the series (and occasionally by the character doing the stalking themselves). She follows him around while trying to avoid being seen, takes a keen interest in his activities but doesn't do much (if any) communicating with him directly, and lurks around on the periphery of places where he is... she's pretty much stalking him. Now, whether she's stalking him for legal purposes, I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to worry about that, since she's an articulated doll with removable parts and a switchable head for different expressions.
* ... in "Oogie's Revenge" and the first Kingdom Hearts game they animated Jack's mouth wrong. They stretched and squashed it into shape instead of replacing the position of the mouth frame-by-frame like in the original movie, and it bugs me. His face loses its vivacious quality without it. They fixed it in Kingdom Hearts 2, but still...
** And on that note, why didn't someone tell Chris Sarandon that it was "Finkle-STINE" in the movie, not "Finkle-STEEN" like he pronounced it in the games? I'm splitting hairs, but that's what this page is for...
