In a way, Jack Skeleton can be seen as a stereotypical man having a mid life crisis or the man that is fed up of his day to day job in desperate need to make a carrer change. We can see this in the way in which Jack forces those around to completely change what they are surrounded by. He is oblivious to the fact that no one else around him can grasp the concept of Christmas. Turning Christmas toys into evil toys that terrifies a whole village show the clash between Halloween and Christmas.
Despite not directing the film, Tim Burton created the characters and the story of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The characters in The Nightmare Before Christmas compared to Tim Burton more modern characters in other film such as Frankenweenie have a lot more characterisation. Frankenweenie was directed by Tim Burton and was more character based. Another contrast between the two films is the style of the characters. To suit the theme of Halloween, the characters in The Nightmare Before Christmas are extremely skinny and willowy. If not, they are short, with dull colours similar to the setting they are in. On the other hand, in Frankenweenie, the characters are black and white and pump. Despite his style changing this could be down to the story and the characters background.
