VoidBurger posted:Hey guys, I was hoping to have an episode ready for HALLOWEEN, but life has decided to throw some really impressive monkey wrenches in the works, so we're gonna have a bit of a delay for the next episode, maybe a week. Sorry for the scheduling issues, y'all. Hey, it's fine, Jack's proven in the past that he's more than willing to work any season. Push it as far into November as you need. THIS IS THANKSGIVING THIS IS THANKSGIVING

Sorry for no Halloween update, but please enjoy this fun little imgur infodump about The Nightmare Before Christmas while I record a gigantic backlog of episodes. And here's some fun facts not mentioned in that infodump: Jack puppet talk: A typical stop-motion puppet is short and squat with huge feet for balance. Jack is impossibly tall and thin, with tiny feet, thin ankles, and extremely long arms. There was much trepidation about turning Tim Burton's drawing of Jack into a puppet... and yet the puppet-maker pulled it off pretty well. He turned out tall and thin enough to appear graceful and not clunky. The animators remarked that Jack was a dream to work with, with an unexpectedly large and smooth range of motion. Oogie puppet talk: He was the largest puppet with the heaviest armature (metallic skeleton) of any character in the movie, weighing in with a 6 pound, two foot high metal skeleton made of 175 parts - gigantic for a stop-motion puppet. He was twice as tall as almost all the other puppets in the film. "You could tow a truck with Oogie's armature" commented one of the movie's sculptor's. Animator Mike Belzer said "I had to dig in with my feet and physically push the Oogie Boogie puppet. He's so huge and there's so much foam [filling the space between his armature and the surface], therefore the armature has so be very tight; it's literally wrestling with the puppet." Another interesting fact is that there was an alternate ending considered for the Nightmare Before Christmas, wherein Oogie is revealed to have been Dr. Finklestein all along in some sorta harebrained passive-agressive plan to somehow get back at Sally for not appreciating him… I'm glad they dumped that, because it dumb as hell.

Surprisingly, especially given the time of year, I didn't see much NBC stuff in Japan this time. Then again, I didn't go into The Disney Store (note that the vast majority of NBC merch over there is licensed and legit). I did see one crossover product, and while I didn't get a photo of it, I found one online:

Halloween came and went, and there were no Nightmare Before Christmas themed trick-or-treaters that visited my home. However, while out grocery shopping a few days later I did spy this little fella in the bargain bin cart. Kinda let yourself go there, Jack. I think he's actually repainted Christmas merch. Check out the mittens.

The Disney Wiki is the best and it has a page on Jack. It's pretty great: "Appearance: Handsome, Skeleton, Animated Skull, Bony Fingers. Fate: Hugs and kisses Sally on Pumpkin Mountain." And in the comments there is, paraphrased: "Is the Pumpkin King in charge?" "No, Pumpkin King is a title like Miss America."

Dr Finkelstien's likes "Sally obeying him" but dislikes "being poisoned by her." He's such a complex character.

I just want to point out that Corpse Kid asked Jack how many fingers he has. I can see why he doubted Jack being Jack when he gets all the questions wrong.

Actual question about the Pumpkin King though, how does Jack suddenly get flame powers by putting a pumpkin on his head. Is that a thing he does? I actually don't really know poo poo about Nightmare Before Christmas.

To make a long story short, it's a major game mechanic that comes from a 20 second segment in the movie. To be fair, they probably didn't have much else to go on.

Not only is Igor voiced by Rob Paulsen, but I am quite certain the good doctor is voiced by Jess Harnell (the voice of Wakko). Same with Kingdom Hearts too. And just in case I'm repeating information that I somehow missed, here's a skeleton in a cozy sweater.

How does a skeleton have a baby? They have no organs at all, much less reproductive organs. For that matter, how does a zombie get pregnant?

I guess they were expecting you to fight those guys in order to clear the level, but I don't see how you can do that and get anything like a good time rank at the same time.

I think the game designers were actually pretty on the ball with this product, as from what I can tell, NBC fans really do seem to be attracted to the same loving thing, repeated over and over again.
