This year, LEGO is celebrating Halloween early with an event box (#21351) dedicated to The Nightmare Before Christmas. A collector’s item that comes just in time to celebrate thirty years of Henry Selick’s feature film.
Because yes, this is indeed a movie from the upcoming Coraline director, often credited to Tim Burton. The director of the highly anticipated Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is definitely at the helm of the story and characters through his own verse written in the 80s, but when Batman takes on the challenge, he very quickly relinquishes the command to Selick. The latter has worked with his stop-motion team for the past three years to deliver a macabre, enchanted tale… and definitely an iconic one.
This animated litter can now be showcased in bricks, via a set submitted by fan Tvrulesmylife. LEGO ideas. So the box set should satisfy those who love Jack Skellington and the world of Halloween Town.
“What do I see, what do I see?”
This new LEGO set highlights three key settings from the feature film that are very easy to separate or combine: the spiral mountain that dominates the cemetery, our anti-skeleton hero’s home and the town hall. We appreciate the fidelity to the angular settings envisioned by Burton & Selick, with walls that are never quite straight, odd proportions and twisted trees. To achieve this goal, smart hanging wall systems are installed on buildings.
Details and nods abound, from the claw-foot tub used to kidnap “Ear” to the various tombstones visible in the cemetery, including Jack’s study, which has a sketch of his Christmas costume and his famous equation on a blackboard.
Eight figures (Jack, Sally, Two-Face Mary, Am, Strum, Gram, Santa Claus and the no-holds-barred ghost dog Zero) bring this beautiful panorama to life, where oranges, purples and greens stand out perfectly against greys. walls. Not forgetting Moonlight, brilliant, the last major piece of this collector’s box.
