In this movie, Burton uses stop motion animation technique using clay puppets as "actors."

Nightmare before Christmas has unconventional and definitely “un-Christmas” characters, such as Like Jack Skelington (the hero of the Halloween Town)who kidnaps Sandy Claws (Santa Claus) since he wants to "take over" Christmas that year. There are also the heroine of the movie, Sally, is a Frankenstein-like girl Sally, the Halloween Mayor, the Evil Scientist, and the bad Oggie Boogie.

This particular book will show how each character was developed right from the very basic. From raw sketch, to detailed picture, to the puppet skeleton, until they are finally shaped as finished puppet (or "actors") as what we see in the movie. There are also elaborations about how each set being used was designed and built.

This book is a must for those who really love the movie, or simply its artistic and technical style, or even they who seriously want to study movie-making or design. This book provides many pictures in each stage of the development, which make such a fun behind-the-scene lesson.
