Finkelstein's lab to borrow some lab equipment, his arrival enlightened Sally who had been confined to her room by the doctor as punishment for drugging him so many times. As Jack showed what he had discovered in Christmas Town, Sally was intrigued by the Christmas holiday, but became unsure of getting too involved with Christmas when Jack tried to explain it to the townsfolk. Finkelstein where she expressed to her creator of not wanting to be patient in having freedom due to her love for Jack.Īfter Jack had discovered Christmas Town and returned home, he held a town meeting in which Sally attended after she had drugged Dr. Sally's newfound love for Jack caused her to return to Dr. Sally became sympathetic towards Jack's sorrowfulness and understood him of wanting something more in life, causing her to fall deeply in love with him. After the end of a Halloween celebration, Jack went to the town's graveyard and lamented on how bored he is of Halloween's traditions, how he dreamt of something more in his life, and wished for somebody to understand him and his feelings, which unknown to him, was overheard by Sally who had retreated into the graveyard to escape from Dr. Finkelstein to sleep so she can watch Jack host the Halloween celebrations. Jack and Sally share a tender moment in the cemetery, realizing they were always meant to be together.Like all of the citizens of Halloween Town, Jack was admired and idolized by Sally where she would put her creator, Dr. Jack and Sally return to town just as Santa Claus flies over and offers the Halloweentownsfolk a bit of Christmas magic: their first snowfall. Santa Claus scolds Jack about trying to take over a holiday that isn't his, and then sets about magically saving Christmas. He surprises Oogie Boogie, frees Sally and Sandy Claws, and unravels Oogie Boogie in a decisive final showdown. Realizing both his mistake and his desire to be the best pumpkin king he can be, he goes back to Halloweentown to find Sandy Claws and set Christmas right. He ends up being blown up out of the sky by the terrified populace. Jack sets off in his sleigh, but he doesn't really get Christmas - his idea of a keen gift for a small child is a shrunken head or a toy duck with sharp teeth that chases its owner - so he spreads terror and mayhem at every house he visits. Sally deduces that only Sandy Claws will be able to help Jack now, and sneaks into Oogie Boogie's lair in an effort to free him. But the spectral dog Zero, who happens to have a glowing nose, comes to the rescue. Sally tries to sabotage his Christmas Eve delivery by adding fog juice to the town well, and it almost works. Meanwhile, Sally has produced a red suit (without a hat, so Jack steals Sandy's) and the evil scientist's skeletal reindeer are hitched to a sleigh full of creepy toys. Jack directs the trick-or-treaters to take Sandy Claws away and make him comfortable, but they give him to Oogie Boogie ( Ken Page) instead. ![]() The three trick-or-treaters return triumphantly with the Easter Bunny Jack sends them back and eventually they bring him Sandy Claws (who surprises Jack by having hands rather than claws). She tries to tell him that co-opting Christmas is a terrible idea, but he's too wrapped up in his enthusiasm to listen. The evil scientist must whip up some reindeer, Halloweentown's top trick-or-treaters are to kidnap Sandy Claws, and Sally's task is to make Jack a red Santa suit. Then he announces that they're taking over Christmas and starts assigning jobs. His people don't seem very impressed, so to draw them in, he makes some elements of Christmas - including "Sandy Claws" ( Edward Ivory) - sound scary. Back in Halloweentown Jack calls a town meeting, where he describes what he saw in Christmastown. Jack is curious about everything he sees there, but finds it all delightful and wants to be part of it. Jack opens the Christmas door and they're sucked in, landing in Christmastown. They come upon a strange circle of trees, each with a door representing a holiday. (Sally was created by Halloweentown's evil scientist ( William Hickey), who keeps her locked up except when she knocks him out by slipping deadly nightshade in his soup.) After pondering his ennui in a cemetery (disturbing Sally, who's replenishing her supply of deadly nightshade), Jack takes his ghostly dog Zero for a walk in the woods. The missing something might well be Sally ( Catherine O'Hara), an animated rag doll who yearns for Jack, but he doesn't notice. But he receives the adulation of Halloweentown with no enthusiasm - something is missing from Jack's life and he's tired of doing the same old Halloween thing year after year. ![]()
