MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL

He is the film’s anti-hero and goes through a personality change. The feature focuses on the language the characters use to give opinions.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

This is a great movie because it’s a Halloween town that tries to host Christmas. That’s why all the characters are skeletons, vampires and other terrifying creatures. That’s also why all creatures seem confused about Christmas. Focus on: the descriptions of things and people.
