synopsis

Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King and leader of Halloween Town, is bored. After centuries of organizing the same Halloween celebration year after year, he longs for something new. Then he comes up with a brilliant idea — to take over Christmas itself…

L’Étrange Noël de M. Jack fait coexister deux univers antagonistes : le merveilleux et l’inquiétant, le laid et le beau, les lumières de Noël et les ombres d’Halloween City.

Libération

Une référence cinématographique intemporelle qui doit autant à Tim Burton qu’au fantastique talent d’Henry Selick. Magistral !
