our extended family does Christmas Trivia every year. Its a big deal and we set it up really well. This year that movie is on the list and I have never seen it. Tried to watch it last night and it is just not my jam at all. Decided to not watch it and watch the others again.

we have a 1 year old and two active older kids so watching movies(actually watching and being able to retain trivia) is hard to come by.

if you are a fan of the movie can you please post a potential trivia question and answer below?

I will just study these and hope I can get a couple of those right.

thank you!

I get the movie not necessarily being someone's thing, but to think it's not even worth more than 10 minutes is strange.

See my point about the 1 year old. Our time to chill and watch is very limited so giving 2 hours to something I'm not feeling is just tough to do right now

I was never a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan, and I was born in '87 so grew up in the '90s. However, I think the movie is very enjoyable up until Jack comes back from Christmas Town. But not even sticking it out to watch "What's This"? That's just criminal!

I really wished a liked this movie because the look of it is amazing, I just find it kind of boring.

Key Plot Points:
Boredom & Discovery: Jack Skellington, the leader of Halloween Town, known as Pumpkin King, feels unfulfilled and discovers Christmas Town througha magical door (doors inculde Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and Independence Day) , becoming enchanted by its cheer and colors. His loyal companion is a ghost dog called Zero.
The Plan: Jack returns home and convinces Halloween Town to "improve" Christmas by taking it over, leading to spooky, ill-fitting presents and a sleigh with skeletal reindeer.
Kidnapping Santa (Called Sandy Claws): Jack has Santa Claus kidnapped by the mischievous trio Lock, Shock, and Barrel and delivered to the villainous Oogie Boogie.
Disastrous Christmas: Jack's attempt to deliver presents results in terrified children and military intervention, with Jack being shot down.
Realization & Rescue: Jack realizes his error, defeats Oogie Boogie to save Santa, and Santa restores Christmas magic, including snow for Halloween Town.
Love & Acceptance: Jack returns, confesses his love for Sally (who had warned him of disaster), and they share a romantic moment, finding happiness in their own unique world.

Jack Skellington appears in various Tim Burton-related films and other movies as easter eggs, including early designs in Vincent (1982) and Return to Oz, a skull on Beetlejuice's hat in Beetlejuice (1988), a machine design in Edward Scissorhands (1990), a pirate in James and the Giant Peach (1996), a scarecrow in Sleepy Hollow (1999), hidden in bubbles in Finding Nemo (2003), in the egg yolk in Coraline (2009), on the Mad Hatter's tie in Alice in Wonderland (2010), as a shadow in The Princess and the Frog (2009), and with Sally in Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018).
