Nightmare Before Christmas, was my first meeting with Tim Burton's creative world. Many years ago now and frightful to think about. Re introducing animation to mainstream was genius and many have followed.
A single Mom of two, I remember this movie was a big event in my home. Watched endlessly and welcomed imagination into our lives. It must have stayed with my son as he gifted me " Jack" not to long ago which touched me deeply.
Oh yes, Epithany & Jack, ( fabulous British Epithany from Sheffield 💜Gina Morley)
Tonight, Tim Burtons long awaited "Miss Peregrines Home For Pecular Children" opens even up here at the North Pole! This will be added to my DVD collection!
Many thank you's 💜💜💜to Holly & Emma for bringing us all together to celebrate the Genius of Tim Burton, and if I might add, the outstanding thespians who bring his work to life!
And there is the genius 💜

DeleteOMy favorite Burton Creation is also Nightmare Before Christmas. My son loved it so much he'd put the VHS in first thing when he woke up and let it play, rewind, and then he'd let it play again. He'd play with toys while watching or wander around but inevitably always came back to catch scenes. Good memories! Thanks for joining the party!
ReplyDeleteThese movies are filled with memories and now they are being passed down! What more could Mr Burton hope for! Thank you for visiting!
DeleteThe Nightmare before Christmas, creative, quirky and dark, all my favourite things rolled into one xx
ReplyDeleteYes! A perfect compromise for you! I know how much Jingle Bell Season means to you dear heart! Thank you for visiting! xo
DeleteI love everything in this post, especially that quote! It's so true.
ReplyDeleteIt's a touch choice, but I think my favorite Tim Burton creation is Ed Wood. Thanks for the giveaway! I've been wanting to read the book.
Ed Wood was interesting and insight to Hollywood of that time! Great fun as always! xoDebi

DeleteI am so looking forward to seeing this new movie, Debi! But if it works out that the youngest and I can't get our schedules together, I'll purchase it and we can watch it together one evening this winter. She's the only one in the family who enjoys the same movies as I do. :)

Must keep with Hallow's Eve tradition.....,,give a book! And I think of you! xo💜
DeleteOh how I have missed your magic Debi, this post was like a visit home, and I made myself a cuppa to sit and enjoy all the treats! Memphis and I when to Noosa Cinemas yesterday and watched 'Miss Perigrines School for Peculiar Children' we loved it, my other babe was back in BrisVegas this weekend, but will watch (and I'm sure love) too 😁 It is very bizarre there were less than 20 people in the theatre, release day, makes me realise if most people living on the Sunshine Coast were out on the beach instead of a darken cinema... That made my peculiar daughters and I smile 😜 Good films so often owe a debt to a great story writer, I am pleased you gave kudos to the author as well! Love your post, the dolls, posters and all... Have the best weekend my friend x
ReplyDeleteI love having you visit! How special to go to the movie house with your girl! Tim Burton would be happy! Memories never end! Thankful the creative hearts of this world push on!
DeleteHuge hugs from the Canadian North xo💜🇨🇦
Fantastic post Debi!!! I have missed you in blog land! I can't wait to see Miss Peregrine's Home For Pecular Children!!! Big Hugs!
