Hoo Hoo Hoo! On our first Christmas episode of Friends with Cinefits, I am joined by lifelong friend Angelica Sauer to discuss Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. This iconic stop-motion animated film from 1993 took over 3 years to produce but has since become a critical and commercial success. We approach this movie from two different views, someone who is a lifelong fan and the other who just watched for the first time.
