Although Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas came nearly two decades before Frankenweenie, the 2012 film created an 18-year-old plot hole.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Legendary filmmaker Tim Burton has been behind some of the greatest Halloween films of all time, but what makes them extra special is the ways in which they connect to each other, including one 18-year-old plot hole between The Nightmare Before Christmas and Frankenweenie. Released in 1993, The Nightmare Before Christmas follows pumpkin king Jack Skellington as he becomes obsessed with Christmas.
Although The Nightmare Before Christmas and Frankenweenie were made nearly 20 years apart, there is one link that connects the two spooky flicks beyond their creator, Tim Burton. In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack has a ghostly dog named Zero that is his adorable and beloved companion, and in Frankenweenie, there is a brief glimpse at a gravestone in a pet cemetery belonging to Zero.
If humans live in or parallel to Halloween Town, this is a pretty major plot hole for The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although it is clear that humans do exist somewhere in The Nightmare Before Christmas, as Jack Skellington is sick of scaring them every Halloween, it was not clear that the groups lived so close to each other. This raises many questions as to how Halloween Town and humans are separated, and how often the two worlds mix.
Jack Skellington & Zero May Have Lived In Frankenweenie's World When Alive Another theory that would explain Zero's grave in Frankenweenie is that Jack Skellington and Zero lived and died in Frankenweenie's world. Although audiences know and love Jack as the skeleton he is, the pumpkin king was likely a human before he became the ruler of Halloween Town. The same goes for Zero.
