* VindicatedByHistory: It was a modest hit in 1993, and well-received by critics, but it wasn't near as big as Disney's in-house fare at the time (''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' arrived the previous year, ''TheLionKing'' the next). This was partially because Disney was nervous about the NightmareFuel; they initially released it under their Touchstone Pictures banner (which was reserved for mature films and the edgier ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit''). But now it's arguably a much more popular film than any of Disney's post-''Lion King'' animated efforts, and they've since allowed it to be released under the Disney banner itself.

** Dr. Finklestein gets the [[RonTheDeathEater opposite]] of this. Yes, he has a rather . . . [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation questionable]] and dysfuntional relationship with Sally, but this does not excuse the FanFic writers for writing him into a freaking rapist.
* FoeYay: Come on, there's really no reason why, when he decided to show, Jack had to announce his presence to [[BigBad Oogie Boogie]] looking like [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Akward_______2623.jpg he's trying to seduce him]].
** Then there's Oogie's ShoutOut comment to Santa, sounding like Oogie's going to ''[[{{Squick}} rape]]'' him.
** [[HowDidWeMissThisOne Hello]]!?! The ShowSomeLeg scene! Seriously, that's probably the reason for the Oogie/Sally ship!
Added DiffLines:
* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Some fans feel this way because of the CashCowFranchise. Luckily, this is a VocalMinority.
** HypeBacklash[=/=]HateDumb: And this is another reason.
* LargeHam: Oogie [[strike: Hammy]] Boogie. Jack is a bit more subtle, but still can be pretty hammy.
** It's kind of par for the course when one lives in Halloween Town.
*** Whoever said being a LargeHam was [[{{TropesAreNotBad}} a bad thing]]?
* {{Narm}}: "Jack has been blown to smithereens!" Okay, Mayor, we know you're understandably upset, ''but could you have said that any less hilariously?''
** "THE KING OF HALLOWWEEEENNN HAS BEEEEENNN BLOOOOWN TO SMITHEREEEEENSSS!!!"
** ''Anytime'' the Mayor is upset. He just can't do drama.
** SKELETON JACK IS NOW A PILE OF DUST! Way to break it gently to the citizens of Halloween Town, Mayor.
* NightmareFuel: And how.
** Especially now that Jack Skellington's head is the icon for NightmareFuel on the [[BuffySpeak top-of-page linky things.]]
* PerverseSexualLust[=/=]FetishFuel: Jack and Sally are quite hot for dead people, and Oogie even has his fangirls.

* RealWomenNeverWearDresses: Sally usually manges to duck this, but a number of fans still ignore the major roles she plays in the story to bash her feminine appearance or call her Dr. Finklestein's sex toy.
