Dammit! Now I want to carve Jack, Sally, and the terrible trio on a pumpkin! ACK!!!!! ROFL!
"The "Power" script continues the tale of elfin heroes Jen and Kira, last seen returning the shard to the evil crystal and seemingly abolishing the vulture-like Skeksis from their land. Set many years after the first flick, "Power" casts Jen and Kira as king and queen, now overseeing a kingdom whose peace is disturbed by a visit from the underground-dwelling U-mun people. After the Gelflings refuse their request for a shard of crystal that could preserve the U-mun race, a desperate visitor takes it anyway, threatening their world with another thousand years of chaos."
When I heard the movie was being re-released, I decided to carve 7 Nightmare patterns plus 8 other patterns. There were lots of young kids who must have seen the re-release because they knew all the characters I carved by name. I saw Nightmare 3D over the weekend and loved it!! I was afraid that it would just be in theaters through Halloween but I lucked out.Tkaraoke wrote:Dammit! Now I want to carve Jack, Sally, and the terrible trio on a pumpkin!
I remember thinking that the technique (stop motion animation) seemed antiquated even when the movie was first released in 1993. Well, not that it's old-fashioned, per se. But you rarely see it done. Not since the glory days of Rankin/Bass (Rudolf, et al) The process is just too time consuming, I suppose.Tkaraoke wrote:The animation techniques might be a little antiquated...

Aside from the "gambling with life" theme, I don't think you're really missing any deep meaning. I always just assumed that Oogie just happened to like playing such games.Tkaraoke wrote:One thing I didn't really get was Oogie's gambling theme
