History WMG / TheNightmareBeforeChristmas

Except maybe the Mayor, who probably always sings the "In this town" lines. In addition, each monster[[note]]With the exception of, presumably, the Mayor (who only sings the "In this town" parts), Sally (who prefers not to take part in the song), Jack (because the song is meant to build up to his grand entrance), and any monsters who can't speak (like Zero)[[/note]] has their own "I am the" line, but which monsters sing theirs is rotated every year. This is probably one of the things that the Mayor likes to plan out. Let's guess what the other monster's lines might be:

** Definitely true in the non-canon [=PS2=] game. He hails from Bug Day.

[[WMG: Oogie Return for a Sequel]]
Oogie Boogie is going to come back for a second (third if Oogie's Revenge is going to be canon) round and this time he is going to have help from other former hoilday rulers who are from other long forgotten pagan hoildays, as well as personifications of now obscure darker aspects of the current hoildays.

* Yes, [[YouFailBiologyForever biologically this doesn't make sense]], but think about it:

* [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming D'awwwwwww!]]

Taking into account Tim Burton's "No Magic" rule, Jack is able to bend the Spiral Hill, rise from water without getting wet, and breathe fire without the pre-drinking of flammable liquids, all under his own power! Not to mention Jack is one of the few characters in KingdomHearts who has dark versions of the normal spells available to Sora and Donald, as opposed to following an elemental theme such as Ariel or Mulan. The UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 video game gave him direct control of fire and ice depending on the suit worn. As this troper sees it, Jack was born a Waterbender, learned Earth- and Fire-bending, and has only Air left to master! (Unless this troper has forgotten an example...)

* As of her transfer to ''Franchise/EverAfterHigh'', it's pretty clear that the "bone elemental" idea was purely a hypothesis on Ghoulia's part and that Cupid just changes appearances to match her surroundings. Jack is likely just the abstract idea of a skeleton or a monster rather than reanimated bones, so he doesn't have to obey the rules of biology.

As in Tim Burton's later movie ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'', nearly all of the monsters are [[DarkIsNotEvil fun-loving and genial despite their scary looks]], while the humans are more selfish and dull, if not outright evil. Although Lock, Shock, and Barrel are AmbiguouslyHuman, they are perhaps the most humanlike residents of Halloween Town, and some of the cruelest. The humans in the "real world" are more justified examples, as they feel legitimately threatened by Jack's attempt at making Christmas, but perhaps they were too quick to panic. Most of the toys seemed like they genuinely wanted to play, but the humans didn't consider this at all, instead panicking, shooting down Jack's sleigh, and declaring Christmas to be RuinedForever.

Lock, shock, and Barrel were once normal kids and wonder around the woods one halloween night and stumble upon the holiday-door-trees and go into Halloween Town. Turns out that Halloween Town is a place where you go there or stay too long you become permanent residents--do we have a trope of that? In short they stayed too long.

Mandatory TimeLord theory. Prove it wrong.

[[WMG: Jack is a bone elemental like [[Franchise/MonsterHigh C.A. Cupid]].]]

This is probably one of the things that the Mayor likes to plan out. Let's guess what the other monster's lines might be:
* Dr. Finklestein: "I'm the evil genius with the monster wife! Bringing your worst nightmares to life!"

jack was possibly a violent gangster but one that looked out for his community, like the black panther movement in the 60's
and watches out for Halloween town, well Oogie uses terror to control the peopleof halloween

[[WMG: Halloween Town is ''Halloweentown.'']]

After Jack commands Lock, Shock, and Barrel to take the Easter Bunny back and get Santa Claus, we don't really find out whether they listened to him or not. But considering that they had every intention of handing Santa over to Oogie, it seems like they would do the same with the Easter Bunny. What happened next depends on where you fall on the SlidingScaleOfIdealismAndCynicism. If you want a happy ending, maybe the Easter Bunny was tougher than he looks, and he managed to fight off the trio and make his way back home. Alternatively, they took the EB to Oogie, who ''also'' got mad, commanded them to bring him Santa instead, and let the EB go. Unfortunately, it's also possible that Oogie was more than happy to accept the trio's offering, and he made some rabbit stew...
