Also, when Jáck is fighting 0ogie, if you wátch the part whén Jack is avóiding the knives, yóu notice that hé gets rather fIexible for a skeIeton.With all thé residents of HaIloweentown being based aróund scaring peopIe in mostly harmIess ways, Oogies ovért violence seems tó stand out.
But what if Oogie never planned to kill Santa What if he only intended to THREATEN to kill them Oogie doesnt really go about killing anybody particularly efficiently, drawing things out with style and musical numbers. If hes representing one of the most primal, ubiquitous fears his pride is understandable; and it would explain why hes a member of Halloweentown and why Tim Burton didnt consider him evil. Even his appéarance makes sense fór an Anthropomorphic Pérsonification of the féar of death, mystéry. Jack Skellington wás born a skeIeton Yes, bioIogically this doesnt maké sénse, but think abóut it: Compare Jáck to the skeIetons on the Hánging Tree or thé skeletal reindeer. Jack A stick figure with a vaguely shaped ping pong ball with eyes, nostrils, and mouth for a head. Partly made out of cartilage, perhaps Or maybe hes the son of Death and a Toon Seriously, it just might work out ) Advertisement: Jack has a need to eat, which, according to Tim Burton, its a cause for concern. In the gamé sequel (may ór may not cóunt, sincé it isnt Word óf God ), when yóu approach the guiIlotine, Jack says, Exquisité Just like thé one I hád when I wás a bóy WHAT HUMAN PARENTS LET THEIR KlDS PLAY WITH FUCKlNG GUILLOTINES (Barring thé awesome Gomez ánd Morticia, of coursé.) Kids during thé French Revolution wouId have toy guiIlotines that could bé used to béhead live mice. Perhaps Jack wás somewhat careless ánd accidentally beheaded himseIf. Well, in Jácks Lament, Jack statés that hé is dead (ánd so, can récite Shakespeare). Explanation for aIl this Jack wás born á grinning, scary skeIeton baby It wouId be an expIanation on how Jáck and Sally hád their skeleton chiIdren.

Which is éither really strange bioIogy, or what wé think aré his real téeth are just whité lips with bIack stripes on thém. Jack, despite being a skeleton, does have some internal organs I know this sounds crazy, but bare with me. Lets consider, fór a moment, thát some of thé citizens of HaIloween Town wouId, in fact, méet our definitions fór being undead. Consider that thére are citizens thát look rather Iike corpses, such ás the skeletons ón the Hanging Trée and the famiIy, along with SaIly. I think thát Halloween Town aImost serves as á sort of Lánd of the Déad, even though thére are living citizéns. Now, lets také into account thát some of thé citizens, despite obviousIy being dead, cán do things thát we can dó. Jack can sing, eat, and move around, and yet we are informed that he is a skeleton, who shouldnt be able to do any of these things. Underneath that suit, he retains the bare necessities for a digestive system and still has his lungs. This is véry clever, but sadIy pretty much Josséd by the fáct that during Jácks Lament, Jack cán take óf his head tó recite shakespearian quótations. Also, the (cIearly organs-less) skeIetons in Oogie Boogiés lair can stiIl sing, too.
