As a parent you get to watch a lot of movies and shows over and over. Some, like the Pixar variety, are pleasant, but most are pretty sub par. Shame on me as a parent, I suppose, but I exposed Indy to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas after he begged me to watch a "scary movie." I have now seen this movie and heard the soundtrack at least 10 times. This is my favorite kid movie obsession to date.
Below is Indy's favorite scene from the movie. He has most of the words memorized and especially loves the part where Jack takes off his head to "Recite Shakespearean Quotations." We have the soundtrack and I have played this track countless times this week as Indy wanders around the family room pensively re-enacting this scene. You would think that when I am asked to act out this scene with him, I would get to be Sally. But, no. I have to be the ghost dog. And I am instructed to "be sad when Jack is sad and happy when Jack is happy."
