As requested and just in time for the Halloween season, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Side By Side Comparison. Now I couldn't include every song from the movie because one, that be a copyright claim WAITING to happen, and two, I need footage of the actors performing the songs live, and since the choir in the Nightmare Before Christmas concert is different to the movie, ensemble numbers like This is Halloween and Making Christmas, will not be included. However I included atleast one song from the four most major characters, Jack, Sally, Oogie Boogie, and Lock Shock and Barrel. Enjoy
One thing I feel like I have to point out is that yes that is Greg Proops as Santa Claus in this, but he was not the original voice of Santa in the movie, that was Edward Ivory, Greg just plays him in the concert. However Greg did play minor characters in the movie such as the Sax Player and Devil.
That's fair :)
And the Harlequin!
That's Greg Proops?? Cool!
Thanks for the cool trivia! Please check out my cover of the song! 🎃
He nailed it.
I've seen Danny Elfman sing this live at the Dolby Theater on Halloween once at the end he brought out Tim Burton and the audience went crazy
That’s awesome.
Ok
bro that's the most insane thing i've ever heard !!!! id go insane
@@miaquinn4800 It was surreal and the fact that he went through all of his movies scores was amazing 😍
is there a video?
Ken Page is a legend. That voice made Oogie Boogie iconic
According to google the man is 6’8 and a half feet tall.
That’s a lot of oogie
@@ResoundGuy epic response
@@ResoundGuy lmaooooo
@@ShotoTodoroki7504..... crazy isn't it
I had no idea Catherine voiced Sally!!! I knew she did Shock but wow! She's so amazing
me neither.
She also does the little witch in the trio as well..I think her names Shock
I knew she did Sally but not Shock. That's awesome! This woman has done just about everything.
Danny Elfman is Barrel and Pee Wee Herman is Lock?!?! My mind is blown!!!
@@maryobrien6014 if you look back at Tim Burton's history with actors in the past it makes sense. Obviously Danny Elfman does almost all the music for his movies, Catherine O'Hara was the mother in Beetlejuice, and Paul Reubens (Pee Wee) worked with Tim Burton seeing that his very first directorial movie debut was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Also bonus fact: actress who plays Dottie in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure cameoed in Batman Returns as Penguin's mother and Paul Reubens plays his father
Danny Elfman is a genius. So much character in his voice. The boyish wonder in his voice along with the deep darkness that lives inside us all shines through in so many parts of this song. Truly a wonderful talent.
Happy Halloween ! Please check out my cover of the song! 🎃
Oogie boogies song was so fun to watch him do! He’s so animated
Broadway star 🌟 nothing quite like them
Menacing, comedic and hammy all at the same time. Just like Oogie Boogie. Perfect.
R.I.P. Paul Reubens. Great performances by all. To have seen this live would have been a childhood dream come true.
I won't lie, I didn't know Paul Reubens was in the movie until about 4-5 years ago. I actually saw him at a con while waiting in line for another actor. At the front Paul was greeting and talking with a cosplayer and getting a photo. He looked so happy and still youthful for his age. While I never watched his series or movie really, I know he brought so much joy to others. It was sad when I found out he died. Because I swore when I saw him you wouldn't have guessed he was hiding cancer.
I didn't know Paul Rubens was in the nightmare before Christmas
who is that?
Same
@@Mochischannel318I think a voice actor that died?
Almost 30 years now. They still want to sing. Amazing
Don’t get the relevance of the length of time it’s been and singing but all right.
1993-2023 Almost a happy 30th anniversary to The Nightmare Before Christmas.
You mean 30 years later and YOU don't sing the songs when you hear them?! I DO! ;) Hell, turn on What's This around me, you can't control me until it's over, I lose all sensibility and dance around singing.
Voices can change over time and end up different from the original recording…
Now, 30 years.
30 years later and Catherine O'Hara still gives me goosebumps with her singing. She's fantastic!!
Omg lol I would have NEVER guessed 🎉🎉🎉
I agree 100%
Not only danny elfman is a great composer, he’s also a great singer!
I had no clue he did the singing voice for Jack 😅
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oingo_Boingo
He had a band called Oingo Bingo for years!
When I saw the film I thought his performance was better than anything he did with Boingo. And that's saying a lot! Brilliant lyrics, too.
@@kristinecollier9155 woah that's awesome! I never knew that
See how during "Kidnap" Danny Elfman is motioning to the orchestra to speed up? Yeah. That's because they played a couple numbers under the tempo he wrote. You can see he's ahead of them on "What's This" and he's trying to vocally inform them as to the correct tempo.
I notice now! That's going to drive me nuts now.
@@flickcentergaming680 haha sorry!
Opinion*
@@blackbat908 title encorporates my name. Opinion + Ian
Noticed that as well
Almost 30 years later, and still an awesome movie. I remember when this was in theaters.
Me too, I went and saw it. Hooked from the get go. Beetle Juice made me a Tim Burton fan but Nightmare Before Christmas sealed it.
near 30 years what the heck. time flies. bummed i didn't see it till rental coz i did imagine it would have been awesome up on the big screen... well if there was no annoying kids around
I would pay millions to see it in theaters. BUT NO I JUST H A D TO MISS IT
Oh wow! Was that a time! I remember leaving the theater as a kid and watching the moon for any sign of Oogie Boogie xD
When I saw this year's ago, Oogie Boogie scared me to death... But live... He's just a big lovable jazz singer. This is a game changer for me...
I love this so much everyone is so passionate and Oogie always steals the show!!!
Happy Halloween ! Please check out my cover of the song! 🎃
Yeah I caught this with the family a few years back in Brooklyn when they were touring. Amazing show. Oogie boogie song was the show stopper. Wish they would do it again. Before their voices are shot.
@@bfettrules1239how much did it cost?
@@gghhhhhhhhb8161 I wanna say they were about $100 a ticket. This was before the pandemic so it’s a while ago.
@@bfettrules1239 ong that is actually so good!
Ken Page is utterly amazing in this role!
He’s an incredible performer in general. Underrated tbh
I love Catherine O’Hara soooo much. I would have given anything to see this.
I love Paul Reubens
@@danieloutlaw2585 Pee Wee Herman! And plus, I love Danny Elfman and Ken Page
Me too
I don’t care what anyone says, Danny’s work on this film is one of THE BEST vocal performances of all time!!!!!
Danny Elfman looks like a mix of Teller and Elton John...
Haha
OMG, he does!
I can see it now! LOL
10:22 The way the song changes from a sad minor chord to a happy major chord is just sooo...😍😍😍😍
Honestly Ken Page stole the show, what talent and engagement
He opened his mouth and I got choked up. He sounds like childhood memories ❤️
it's been 12 years, and I'm still amazed that Old Deuteronomy and Oogie Boogie are the same voice. Ken Page is truly fantastic.
I was so happy when I found that out
And king gator!!
@@fatheroftherealm Yes! I was watching All Dogs several months ago and I loved that he was in that
Me too! Amazing acting and singing!
Depends on the version of Cats. Brian Blessed also played Old Deuteronomy on the West End
I love how animated Danny Elfman is when he performs! What a talent!
Rip Paul Reubens he was such a great actor and singer
I love Danny Elfman, his writing is so amazing and I love how unique his voice is.
Its so amazing to hear the actors sing live
Grew up with this movie and only learned today that Danny Elfman voiced Jack, and wowwwwwwwwwwwww what an incredibly talented man. This whole video had me smiling and choking up.
Danny only did the singing portions, Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdink) did the speaking voice ❤ sooooo good!!!
I 100% agree with you. I didn't know he voiced Jack either, until tonight.bTo say that he's incredibly talented is a major, major understatement. I'm truly blown away by these actors and their talents. I absolutely loved this!!
This is so exciting, funny and beautiful. They are true artists. Even watching them is entertaining!
R.I.P Paul Reubens "Kidnap the Santy Clause" won't be the same without you
I met Mr. Elfman in Hawaii. He’s so humble and kind. Great person.
Ken Page just having the time of his life performing Oogie Boogie
I was today years old when I discovered that sally and shock’s voices are the home alone mom Catherine O’hara
I was also surprised when I found out last Christmas. She also plays Moira on Schitt's Creek!
Yeah same here. I knew she was a good singer from her performance of The Mighty Wind
I was 9 when this came out in theaters. 38 now and this makes my inner child scream with joy and cry because I miss those days so much.
Moira is Sally!!!!!! I absolutely love Cathrine O'Hare had no idea she voiced Sally 😍
That is not cathrin o hara
@@peterwills8448 it literally is but
@@peterwills8448 um yes it is like how do you not know that everyone knows that
They should release that live performance on a separate DVD/Blue-ray or part of "Extended release". This is simply brilliant!
Danny Elfman singing 😍😍😍 Thank you for my childhood. Then as an adult I discovered he was a legit rockstar ⭐️
Wonderful. Loved every second watching this video. RIP Paul Reubens.
I remember when this movie first came out. I still have it on VHS. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this movie. The music is amazing. Jack Skellington is my fav.
Jaack litterally looks like me when I wake up at 3 am on Christmas Eve , trying to remember wtf I was waiting for. And Danny Elfman, his voice is unique and somehow soothing.
It's cool to see the voice actors performing side by side, they look like they had fun.
I’m honestly shocked by the number of people who didn’t know these were the voice actors lol
The vocal performances are flawless.
I had no idea who all the players were in this movie. How special!
I still don’t know. I wish the singers names were all given.
@@jameshaviland6183 Jack is Danny Elfman, Oogie is Ken Page, Sally is Catherine O’Hara, Lock/Shock/Barrel are Paul Reubens (Peewee Herman), Catherine and Danny
Ken Page sounds SO GOOD! He’s awesome.
Literally cried watching this, so many memories and passion behind this. I hope to see them perform next year!
That Oogie Boogie song has always been my favorite!!
Everyone is so talented, I'm so glad I got to meet Ken Page and Chris Sarandon.
Galaxycon.
@@nathancruz9172 No I met them at Megacon Orlando back in May.
The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Princess Bride are two favorite movies of all time, and when I found out Humperdinck voiced Jack’s speaking voice I felt betrayed that the villain was the hero 😂 Thinking back it made sense because he sounds the same, but I thought it was crazy and I’m jealous you got to meet him :)
@@t-lex6001 He's coming to my local con. I want to sing "This is HUMPERDINK.... This is HUMPERDINK"
Just came back from comparing the two scenes of "What's this?" I like how Jack sounds with Elfman's older voice.
I'm not crying, you're crying... Also this gave me tons of amazing goosebumps! Such beautiful memories, thank you to all these incredibly talented people for making us dream!
Danny is so underrated 🖤🖤🖤 This whole cast is just love.
Of course!
they all did so beautifully, I literally teared up c': Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite Halloween/Christmas movies. its my tradition every year to watch it in November, inbetween Halloween and Christmas.
I love this movie too! One of my favorite stop motion movies!
Danny Elfman created some of the most iconic TV and movie themes but Weird Science will always have a special place for me.
They still got it. Pure joy :)
I'm soo glad this became one of the biggest movies, Soo deserved, You can tell how much love went into this, Ever va just has the biggest blast, Huge smiles even soo many years later
Really cool Ireland
This whole cast is amazing and mean the world to me and have since a very young age (it's my first notable special interest
Jacks voice actors voice sounds just as iconic as it did 30 years ago!
That's just his singing voice
Good lord this is a show I want to see. Sally's ballad is an unbelievably emotionally charged journey, I love her. I love this film so much, I used their final act together as the closing part of my wedding speech. My dearest friend... Even had that tattooed on my arm as well.
Okay this is gonna make me sound so dumb haha but I had no clue O’Hara voiced Sally. I always assumed it was Shelly Duvall and I was so convinced I never bothered to check. Lol so learning this just now was a bit of a shock. But also not surprising since O’Hara is such a gem.
R.I.P. Paul Reubens
Yo’, Jack Skellington is the same genius behind the Raimi Spider-Man score :D How awesome…
I never realized this, but I noticed at the end of the 2018 The Grinch movie (From Illumination) I saw that the music was made by Danny Elfman! I' like "Seriously? This can't be right?!"
IVE BEEN BINGE WATCHING SCHITTS CREEK AND I LOVE CATHERINE (forgot she was in beetlejuice) BUT WHAT SHE VOICED SALLY 😭😭😭😭 I LOVE HER SM
Rest in Peace Paul Reubens
RIP Paul Reubens.
This makes me soooooo happy!!!! I mean look at how passionate Danny was singing WHAT'S THIS! You can really tell he loved what he was composing. How fun!
He got into Oggie Boogie’s song and I love it!!!
I am so happy that I stumbled upon this, and I so would have loved to have been there! I’m such a Tim Burton fan and a Pee-wee Herman fan, and to be able to witness this in person would have been one thing to mark off my bucket list ☺️! Cathrine is unbelievably talented! Where was this being performed at?
It was compiled together from several different concerts, but mostly it was performed at the Hollywood Bowl.
@@Thomas_H._Smith You are so lucky that you were able to attend!
@@creativecrocheter Oh, I didn't attend anything, these clips are all just on KZhead.
I’m lucky that this year will be the 4th time to get to see Danny in concert, and he’s done a mix of only Nightmare Before Christmas showings and a collection of his works. This year he’s even including more Oingo Boingo content. I definitely recommend looking up his concerts a few months before October to see what his plans are in the following years! I live near LA myself so I’m not sure if he does this elsewhere, but I think it’d be worth the visit :)
@@t-lex6001 Thanks so much for the recommendation 🙃! Do you by chance have a website you can give me? Also, you live next to one of my favorite places☺️!
The legendary actors in this
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this live version 🖤
Y’all remember when they said it was racist for Oogie to sound as black as he did. I wonder how many people realize just how black he truly was
Of course he was black! He had soul
Tim Burton’s just sitting in the back like “yep, I created all of this” 😎
Mean while Henry Selick shrugs and continues to create great work.
He didn’t tho
@@StrawberryFeildsforNever Yeah, it was HIS vision. He was the one who thought of the concept.
I don’t understand why we need to have some kind of competition between creators like Burton and Selick. They both deserve a ton of credit for making the film, and it wouldn’t have existed in the way we know today without either of them. Hell, Danny Elfman also gave so much to the film in terms of music and voice talent, not to mention every animator, story artist and dozens of other credits that we aren’t even aware of. TLDR: Movies are made by the contributions of many talented people, and it’s ridiculous to bring one creator down just to put another on a pedestal. Fan culture doesn’t have to be so one-sided about everything.
@@vivir339 ^^^^^^
The LS&B bit was beautiful! The fact that they had to be in sync with each other really helped with the timing. The best solo act, in my opinion, was Sally.
This is such an amazing performance by everyone, including the orchestra. I love seeing them sing side by side with the movie clips. Thank you to whomever made this!
I first saw this movie in a theater during its original '93 release. It's been one of my all-time favorites since that night!
Same here🎃🎃🎃 I remembered went to the theater and it was only few audiences. So grateful I saw it before it became a classic
RIP Paul Rueben 😢
I’m in tears! I would love to see the entire concert so much. I can’t imagine what it was like to be there live. Thanks so much for posting! ❤
I was today years old when I realized Danny Elfman sang Jack’s songs
I often sing some of those songs for my Facebook friends and my family. Usually around Halloween/Christmas, I sing a song from Nightmare before Christmas. I sang Jack’s Lament(Friends fav), Oogie Boogie’s song(My mom’s favorite, What this?!(My brother’s favorite), Poor Jack, and finally on Christmas Day I gave my friends and family a Christmas gift by singing We’re simply meant to be. Everyone had commented of how much they love my performances. I love Nightmare before Christmas and it was an amazing experience performing those songs
This is so cool to see the voices come from the people! ✨
This takes me back to watching this movie no less than 1 million times with my children when it was first released. I am 54 and simply love it. Love the memories of being a mom to my now grown kids.
I was so in love with this film as a child that my foster family always joked that Jack was my boyfriend from when I was little. We'd go past the DVD store with all it's gothic stuff in the window, and my foster mum would always point and say "go say hi to your boyfriend" as a way to tell me and my siblings to idle in there while she checked the boring shop next door for towels and bedding.
Their voices and performances are AMAZING!
This is my all time favourite children’s movie. The music is beautiful. I’d love to see a theatre production done with Danny elfman and crew. I’ve loved the music for years and the animation. I even bought a jack skeleton, sally and the professor figurines. Jack and Sally’s head wobbles when the light hits the plate they are on. I adore them. I have the movie and never tire of it. The music swirls in my head and I love to watch the characters. I’m so glad it was made. It’s sublime. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😳 Hold up: is that Pee wee Herman playing one of the little mischief making trio members? Did not know he was in a Disney Movie!
Well then that means you didn't he also played the pilot Rex on the original Star Tours attraction.
its also probably because Tim Burton knew the actor of Pee Wee, since Tim directed the Pee Wee Herman movie ( Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which he did in '85 ).
Actually that is Paul Reubens. Peewee Herman is another character that he portrays in movies and on TV. I know what you meant but you also know what I mean. It is indeed, Paul Reubens.
He's in another Disney movie, Flight of the Navigator, though you might not realize it right away unless you know his voice, not the Pee-wee Herman voice. He voices the ship, and does his signature laugh near the end. He's credited as Paul Mall.
@@raltusgaming Very cool! Thanks for telling me! I want to go check it out now!
I know Paul Reubens passed away recently, it was nice to know everyone was having fun coming together to re-sing these iconic songs. The energy is over 💯🎤
Ken Paige giving off big blues singer energy as live-action Oogie.
I didn’t know Paul Reubens voiced Lock, wow
This is absolutely my favorite Halloween movie. It’s not even close.
Me too
Watching this as I’m all snuggled up in my Jack Skellington pjs, sipping Frog’s Breath out of my Sally and Jack mug.
i love how all the actors match their characters looks, and put work in their voice it’s so cool
Watching this put a big smile on my face. Everyone is having so much fun, it’s contagious.
Thank you for this, it's so fun! I'm slightly in love with Catherine O'Hara.
Ken Page is so underrated.
this should be on Broadway. simply amazing music.
大好き〜😭😭😭何回も見ちゃう😵💫🫶🏻
awwww they really hugged at the end! 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Even in the 2000 they still sound amazing 🤩 1993 and 2022 💗❣️💖💝
Nightmare before Christmas will forever be in my heart 😔🖤🖤💀 (especially my mom)
Always in awe at Danny Elfman's singing and song writing ability.
I almost mistook Danny elfman for Elton John
I'm would have absolutely loved to have been in the audience for this show. It would have been so amazing
Katherine singing makes my heart warm.
