Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Product Information

The Perfectionist: Ruby Valentino, Queen of Valentine's Town, is so obsessed with how her town looks that merely seeing a single bleeding heart flower is enough to set her off. My Disney+ avatar is Sally. So of course I had to read this book. And while I was impressed by how Ernshaw managed to capture the characters, little else actually really did anything for me. Adaptational Villainy: While he was already a minor antagonist, it is revealed in the book that Dr. Finkelstein kidnapped Sally when she was 12 and made her lose her memories with a potion.

She did really great and I have no complaints about her voice or performance. She was wonderful with the voices and the story but like I said before some of the magic is missing and I don't think it is Cissy Jones' fault at all. I was able to listen at my usual 1.5x spead Atlantis: The Lost Empire: Kida Nedakh • Vincenzo Santorini • Helga Sinclair • Milo Thatch • Audrey Ramirez

Did we miss something on diversity?

Really this is best imagined as a live action Claymation story and my mind just couldn't be inventive enough to get me there on my own, which is why most of this book fell a little flat. Solid story, interesting characters, solid ending but missing something to make it live up to the original.

When Halloween Town is fast asleep thanks to The Sandman, it is up to Sally to set things right. Sally was originally supposed to have trouble walking. This idea was rejected due to the animators thinking Sally looked drunk while walking. However, in the movie proper, Sally does walk a little stiffer than the other characters.

After returning to the lab, it is revealed that Sally has grown resentful of Dr. Finkelstein's over-protectiveness and that in the past has slipped deadly nightshade into his tea (at least three times) as a narcotic and then left the house while he was asleep.
