review:
'Disney Manga: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas' by Jun Asuka is a manga adaptation of the animated film. It mostly works.
Jack Skellington is the pumpkin king. He is bored with Halloween and wants to branch out to other holidays. He chooses Christmas, but can Christmas survive what Jack and his friends do to it?
The art is pretty good and the characters look like they do for the most part. The movie has lots of music and it's here where the adaptation tries and fails. I almost think it shouldn't have tried at all. For the rest of it, the dialogue has been translated from English, then back to English, and this creates a few odd phrases. For folks who love the film, like I do, this is probably a must collect, and it was fun to see Jack and company in this format.
I received a review copy of this manga from Tokyopop, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
