History Heartwarming / TheNightmareBeforeChristmas

* "Jack's Lament"? This Troper still gets all fuzzy inside from simply ''humming'' the freakin' thing!

---> Doctor: "You're not ready for so much excitement!"
---> Sally: "I'm restless...I can't help it"
---> Doctor: "It's a phase, my dear, It'll pass"

---> Doctor: "It's a phase, my dear, It'll pass"
* YMMV, and pretty minor, but the scene where Jack frightens Lock, Shock, and Barrel to get them to stop fighting. For a second, it looks like Shock is standing in front of the other two, almost like she's protecting them (Lock and Barrel do look a bit more visibly scared than her).

---> Doctor: "It's a phase, my dear, It'll pass"

* In "Pesadillas Antes de Navidad", the Castellano dub, Jack and Sally's final duet is pure magic. Jack calls Sally "querida miya" (It's equivalent to "my beloved", but pretty much literally means "mine".) Their final lines translate to "Because I know that you are meant for me, and I for you." (squee!)

* It's subtle, but the scene where the Mayor and a handful of other Halloweentown citizens find Jack in Boogie's has one as well. The first words we hear are Lock, Shock and Barrel exclaiming "Here he is!" "Alive!" "Just like we said!" The CMOH comes when you realize that they arrived back at Boogie's seconds after he was defeated--meaning that the moment they heard Jack in the lair and realized he was in trouble, Oogie Boogie's loyal henchmen had to have gone into Halloweentown, found the Mayor, convinced him to help them, and then gone all the way back to save Jack's life. Jack Skellington means ''that much'' to his people.

* Also:
-->''Would you do the whole thing all over again?\\

--> Touchstone pictures presents the story of two very special dreamers, and the holiday spirit that brought them together..."

---> Doctor: "Your not ready for so much excitement!"

---? Doctor: "It's a phase, my dear, It'll pass"

* Sally drapping a blanket over her 'father' after drugging him in an attempt to see more of the world, despite the fact he has treated her with a bit of a prisoner vibe.

* Santa showing that he has forgiven Jack by giving all of Halloweentown a Christmas gift: snow!
** The folks of Halloweentown frolicking and playing in the snow like children.

* It's subtle, but the scene where the Mayor and a handful of other Halloweentown citizens find Jack in Boogie's has one as well. The first words we hear are Lock, Shock and Barrel exclaiming "Look! It's Jack!" "He's all right, just like we told you!" The CMOH comes when you realize that they arrived back at Boogie's seconds after he was defeated--meaning that the moment they heard Jack in the lair and realized he was in trouble, Oogie Boogie's loyal henchmen had to have gone into Halloweentown, found the Mayor, convinced him to help them, and then gone all the way back to save Jack's life.

-->''Would you do the whole thing all over again?/Knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?"/And he smiled like the old Pumpkin King that I knew/Then turned, and asked softly of me... "Wouldn't you?"''

* [[FinalLoveDuet For it is plain, as anyone can see . . . we were simply meant to be . . .]] Pretty much that whole scene.
* When the HalloweenTown citizens rejoiced at Jack being alive is pretty heartwarming too.

* The end song on the soundtrack, "Closing", has Santa visit Jack years after the Christmas incident to find [[spoiler: Jack has "[[BabiesEverAfter . . . four or five skeleton at hand/ playing strange tunes in their xylophone band.]]"]] Freaking ''adorable''.

* Even though it marks where things start going wrong, [[@/ManCalledTrue this editor]] still gets a little shiver from "What's This", when Jack realizes he's stumbled into exactly the sort of difference he wanted. "I must be dreaming/Wake up Jack this isn't fair!/What's this?"
