The site's critics consensus reads, " The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stunningly original and visually delightful work of stop-motion animation. However, when Jack's new mission leads him to kidnap Santa (voice of Edward Ivory), it becomes clear that he is not really in tune with the Yuletide spirit. To adapt his poem into a screenplay, Burton approached Michael McDowell, his collaborator on Beetlejuice. In a funk one day, he wanders into a wood where every tree is the doorway to realms serving one or another human holiday, and falls through the doorway into Christmas.
