In our last
Skwigly Animation Podcast of 2018 we look back at the seminal stop-motion feature
The Nightmare Before Christmas
which this year celebrated its 25th anniversary – and I'm delighted to
welcome the film’s screenwriter Caroline Thompson to discuss her career
and contributions to the film. It was especially exciting as Caroline also wrote
Edward Scissorhands and the 1991
Addams Family movie, both of which were also favourites of mine growing up although
Nightmare is definitely at the top of that particular leaderboard. Her other projects include
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,
Black Beauty,
Corpse Bride and the recently-released
Welcome to Marwen (out in the UK this January).

I want to give a special shout-out to my pal
Isabel Peppard who helped put this in motion - I hadn't really planned out putting out a podcast this month for various reasons but thanks to her help this all managed to come together very quickly and sort of out of nowhere. I interviewed Isabel about her work
for the site as well as our
2013 Annecy documentary and you can follow her amazing work on
Instagram.
Don't have much else to offer on a Xmassey theme save for this looping animation I did the other day. I think it's pretty self-explanatory:
And to all a good night!
