17 Mistakes You Missed in The Nightmare Before Christmas

Animators often have nightmares about mistakes they’ve made in their work. And while they’re far too hard on themselves, we couldn’t help but notice these mistakes in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Those were all the mistakes, continuity, and logic errors we could spot. We bring you the errors of a Christmas-slash-halloween-slash-just-brilliant film: The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's stop motion, inventive, musical, and... as are all movies… full of errors. Do we blame the people who made it? Well yes a little bit, but we respect them and the tremendous effort they have made to make such an inventive film a reality. Still, this film has mistakes notorious on stop motion animation as well as some logic and continuity issues. No one is perfect! And people make films that carry into their little creations. Jack Skellington is a charmer, but he’s not without flaws, especially in regard to his ongoing relation with Sandy Claws, we mean, Santa Claus. Generations have loved this Tim Burton directed epic, but some of you have noticed these errors and you’re not alone, it’s why we’re here. Whether you’re an animation fan, a stop-animation lover learning the craft, or just a lover of trivia and goofs in famous films, we’ve got you covered. So sit back and grab some halloween candy while we go over 15 mistakes in the beloved Nightmare Before Christmas! Any you noticed that we didn’t mention? Let us know in the comments below.

Do you consider The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?

If you look closely, the mayors hat is bent backwards - so its not a mistake anymore

[Sattlen]

It's stop motion so, it's a lot more forgiving

Look closer. The mayors hat actually is bending under his car when he comes back with Jack.
