2[[caption-width-right:350:"We're simply meant to be."]]
3* The entire final scene of Jack and Sally's FinalLoveDuet atop Spiral Hill. In almost perfect unison, they wrap their arms around each other and kiss passionately, all ending on a gorgeous Picardy third[[note]]A minor key piece ending in the major[[/note]]
4-->"For it is plain, as anyone can see...
5 We were simply meant to be."
6** The beautiful contrast between this scene and the beginning of the movie. The first time we see Jack atop Spiral Hill, he's alone and singing about how empty and hopeless he feels. The next time, he's finally full of life and hope again, and has found happiness with his true love.
7** The score concludes with a short reprise of "What's This?", but ends on a resolved note rather than a suspended one, suggesting that being in love with Sally not only gives Jack the same joy he had when he first discovered Christmas but also a greater sense of wholeness than Christmas ever could. It's the musical equivalent of "...And they lived {{happily ever after}}."
8** Listen carefully, as the duet is using some of the melody from Sally's Song; specifically, the moment when she mournfully decides she's not meant to be with Jack. Here, the reprise shows how wrong she was -- Sally was the one for him after all.
9* The HalloweenTown citizens rejoicing at Jack being alive is pretty heartwarming, too.
10** As they joyfully surround him, the Corpse Kid hugs and clings to Jack's leg. Jack picks him up and tosses him in the air playfully (and then sets him on the Mayor's hat).
11* Santa showing that he's forgiven Jack by giving all of HalloweenTown a Christmas gift: snow!
12** The folks of HalloweenTown seeing snow for the first time. Even the creepiest ghouls can't resist frolicking and playing like children. Even Shock, Lock and Barrel get into the spirit! By throwing snowballs!
13** The Mayor's reaction; he briefly shifts to his Sad face, feeling a bit confused by the snow. Then he catches a snowflake on his tongue and immediately switches back to his Happy face.
14** The Wolf Man gets snow all over his shoulders and then shakes it off, just like a dog.
15** And upon seeing Santa fly overhead, Jack waves back to him with a big smile on his face.
16--->'''Santa:''' Happy Halloween!
17--->'''Jack:''' Merry Christmas!
18* Jack apologizing to the Easter Bunny after Lock, Shock and Barrel mistakenly kidnap him instead of Santa Claus.
19-->'''Jack:''' I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, sir. [To the trio] Take him home, first! And apologize again!
20** Another subtle one involving the trio: when Jack scares them for squabbling over their mistake, Lock and Barrel hide behind Shock [[BigSisterInstinct while she raises her arms in front of them]] [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther protectively]].
21* It's subtle, but the scene where the Mayor finds Jack in Ooogie's lair 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 the party arrives back at Ooogie's mere minutes after the boogeyman's defeated; this can only mean that the ''second'' they saw Jack in the lair, Oogie Boogie's [[HeelFaceTurn loyal henchmen]] ran back to Halloween Town, found the Mayor, somehow convinced him that Jack was alive and in danger, and convinced him to accompany them back to Oogie's -- even though all four of them are afraid of Oogie (and the trick-or-treaters are especially terrified of what Oogie might do to them if they disappoint or anger him). Jack Skellington just means ''that much'' to his people.
22** It also implies that the trio felt guilty for disobeying Jack's request to leave Oogie out of the plan to kidnap Santa -- and that they liked (and respected) Jack more than their old boss.
23* When Jack first sees Christmas Town. While it lead to destruction, Jack's joy at seeing the town is uplifting.
24** "The monsters are all missing and the nightmares can't be found..."
25* The end song on the soundtrack, "Closing", has Santa visit Jack years after the Christmas incident to find Jack has "[[BabiesEverAfter four or five skeleton children at hand, playing strange tunes in their xylophone band.]]" Freaking ''adorable''.
26** Also:
27--->''Would you do the whole thing all over again?\
28Knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?"\
29And he smiled like the old Pumpkin King that I knew\
30Then turned, and asked softly of me... "Wouldn't you?"''
31* The trailer said it best:
32--> Touchstone pictures presents the story of two very special dreamers, and the holiday spirit that brought them together..."
33* Also "Poor Jack," in which Jack's despair over (nearly) ruining Christmas turns to a triumphant rebirth ("That's right! I ''AM'' the Pumpkin King!") and determination to fix the mess he made before it's too late.
34%%* "Jack's Lament".
35* At the end when Jack has made his return to HalloweenTown and Santa flies by, saying "Happy Halloween!", making snow and Jack saying "Merry Christmas!"
36* In "Pesadillas Antes de Navidad", the Castellano dub, Jack and Sally's final duet is pure magic. Jack calls Sally "querida mía" (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!)
37* When the military starts shooting at Jack's sleigh, the first thing he does after he notices them is comfort Zero, who whines when a shot nearly collides with them.
38* Sally draping 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 than a prisoner vibe.
39** Though he did seem to be doing it out of concern for her well-being.
40--->'''Doctor:''' You're not ready for so much excitement!\
41'''Sally:''' I'm restless...I can't help it.\
42'''Doctor:''' It's a phase, my dear, It'll pass.
43** Speaking of Doctor Finklestein, there's something weirdly adorable about him arriving with a wife (that he created) at the end of the movie.
44--->'''Doctor:''' Careful, my precious Jewel.
45** He also greets Jack warmly when he visits his lab and is all too glad to loan him some equipment for his experiments.
46* Even though she's grounded and locked in her room, Sally breaks out just to send Jack up a basket of dinner, only to run off before he can thank her. Also touching because while she's too shy to speak to him much, she must know him well enough to know that when he gets into a project he forgets to eat and tries to care for him when she can.
47** Jack's reaction to the gift is so sweet. He lights up when he sees what she put together for him, and then goes to the window to thank her, only to find her missing. But before he realizes she's gone, he's smiling and raising his hand, as if to wave to her. Nothing's certain, but it looks very much like he was about to invite her up.
48* A small detail, but worth mentioning: Jack's righteous anger at Oogie Boogie in the climax is definitely a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome...but you might take note of his [[ExactWords specific choice of words]] before his PreMortemOneLiner. ''"How dare you treat my'' '''''friends''''' ''so shamefully?!''" Note the plural: ''"friends"'', not ''"friend"''. For all their obvious differences, Jack still considers Santa Claus a friend. And why shouldn't he? ''He's the man who showed Jack the beauty of Christmas!'' Jack and Santa might be from different worlds, but Oogie Boogie signed his death warrant the second he laid a hand on jolly old Saint Nick.
49* During Oogie's song, Santa cuts in (several times) to demand his release — not because he's afraid for his life, but because the children are expecting him. Being Santa isn't just a job or a role to him (the way Jack views being the Pumpkin King at the start of the film): he genuinely cares about the children and their happiness. [[BigGood As a good Santa should.]]
50* Combined with FridgeBrilliance. When you go to the Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland, you'll find that the whole place, both on the inside and outside, is decked out for the holidays. Assuming that the storyline for the overlay is set after the events of the movie, one can assume that Jack finally found some folks in the real world who actually like his twisted version of Christmas. Looks like he really ''did'' get to make his Christmas vision a reality after all.
51* The reward Lock, Shock, and Barrel are hoping Oogie Boogie will grant them for kidnapping Santa: his "special" snake and spider stew. Just the idea that he cooks for them sometimes is adorable, even if Santa's one of the ingredients.
52* Jack repeatedly stating how smart and capable Sally is, and how he ''needs'' her help in order to create his perfect Christmas. He really should've listened to her warnings, but it's sweet to see how well he thinks of her.
53* As Santa is rushing around the human world giving presents to the kids and undoing all of Jack's chaos, one of the children receives an adorable puppy, which licks his face.
54* A subtle one, but the brother and sister who receive the vampire teddy bear and duck as presents initially adore them in spite of their creepiness; she scoops up the bear and cuddles it and he goes to activate the duck with a smile on his face. If the toys hadn't come to life and started chasing them, Jack would have actually succeeded in delighting a couple of kids on Christmas.
55* Jack playing fetch with Zero, despite protesting moments ago that he didn't feel like it.
56* When Jack returns home safely after the disaster on Christmas Eve, the little zombie/ghoul boy is so happy to see him that he clings to his leg, which the Pumpkin King doesn't mind at all, lifting him up to give him a hug.
57** Really, the entire town [[TriumphantReprise singing and cheering,]] "Jack's okay!" is adorable.
58--->''Jack's OK, and he's back OK\
59He's all right\
60Let's shout, make a fuss\
61Scream it out, whee!''
62* One of the lyrics in "This Is Halloween" is "Life's no fun without a good scare / That's our job but we're not mean / In our town of Halloween" The citizens of Halloween Town enjoy their job scaring people, but it's all in the spirit of fun and they don't mean any real harm. They're all shown to be quite friendly despite being monsters and ghouls.
