do they still sell this sweatshirt at the parks? i've had it for maybe 8 years now. Jack's face is kind of discolored and cracked and the sweatshirt itself is starting to fade. there was a point when everyone and their mother had this same sweatshirt when you were at the parks. in fact, i think everyone just had it in general. as much as i love Nightmare, the ridiculous amount of merch being sold at the park bothers me. i realize that NBC(Nightmare Before Christmas) is a popular commodity, but i feel like it's somewhat overrated sometimes. like they'll just slap Jack's face on anything and it sells. some of the NBC merch is actually kind of cool, but the majority of it is kind of disappointing. i still enjoy a trip to Le Bat en Rouge every time i go, just to see if there was any slight improvement in merchandise.
Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all time favorite movies. i have vivid memories of watching this all the time growing up. i remember watching it almost every night, and i remember the trailer/ad for Gargoyles(another one of my favorite things hehe) before the movie started. i watched that vhs so much it stopped working. i think it eventually faded from my memory until a few years later, when i got it on dvd. i was about 10 years old, and incidentally NBC was having it's 10th anniversary. this meant a huge surge in merch being sold at DL, as well as Hot Topic. and i had nearly all of it. (cut me some slack, i was 10)
my obsession eventually waned into deep appreciation rather than fanaticism. i'm still captivated by the animation, and i'll occasionally dig out some of my old Jack t-shirts. i'll admit, i havent watched it in a while. but i'm very confident that i still can recite all the lines and sing all the songs(with the voices!)
