Here's the deal, Sup Forums. Imagine that Disney has offered you 150 million dollars, but you have to use it to make a Nightmare Before Christmas sequel to make them some easy money.

How would you do it?

poorly

Krampus would have to be the new villain.

Jack would have to save Santa from him somehow. Maybe with help from other holiday characters.

>not making judaism the real villain

Hire Tim Burton for a fraction of the money.

Jack learns what is behind Halloween for humans, and he feels depressed (again) so he is taken into a trip to many different holidays and learns the dark side of many of them to humans, and understands that behind all the darkness, humans try to change holidays into something positive we can celebrate, but for that, the spirits of each holidays has to bring the jolly, so he takes his mantle of pumpkin king again and restores halloween to how it currently is. Costumes, kids, candy and scares

I would make Disney swallow their pride and hire Laika for it.

Add plenty of nation specific holidays including 4 of July, Dia de los Muertos for funny skits with Jack, and probably bring Santa back to bring the jolly

>Imagine that Disney has offered you 150 million dollars
Make a shitty MSpaint and windows movie maker sequel where Sally gets pregnant but it just turns out she had gas, then walk away with the $150 million and never work again.

>Nightmare Before Christmas 2
>By Laika

Welp, thanks for that thought, now my boner won't go away.

I keked more than I should.

> poorly
fpbp, and in 1 word too.

> I would make Disney swallow their pride and hire Laika for it.
delicious

the plot of human involvement is probably the most necessary, but i would reprise the narrative of "holidays getting mixed up" but this time due to certain kinds of human involvement

Jack and Sally inna real world. They meet a physically and spiritually reformed oogie boogie doing his bug thing grossing out children. The three see a bunny and decide to scare the child good but it's actually an easter bunny, lost but handing out candy. Whom to? A group of children dressed as a bunny led by a parent, as an angel. (Yes, *that* adult)

jack escorts the bunny back using a rabbit hole, and sally goes to greet the children. a short song ends with her detatched head; while all the children are shocked and thrilled the parent is not and drags most of the group off while the few other children chat with sally who are interested in her. tl;dr the small splinter group shrinks, and reaching a cemetary there's only one child left, who is too "into" halloween (the dark bunny)
She asks the child if they want something extra
>"One drop to calm the nerves and three drops for a deep dreamless sleep."
"What about more than three?"
>"Ten drops for sleep eternal. (Sally poses restfully against the moon. Camera pull out for shot of the coffin) How many would you like?"
(Nervously unsettled) "Uh, None."
>"Just one? Ok"
(Unhappily spooked) "Uh, no, i said none... And, i'd like to go back now. Please, take me back."

This situation could also be reversed where Jack goes too far and spooks an entire street to dead silence and then rampant terror that ends festivities until he leaves the area.

The general repeating moral of the movie is: Everyone plays the villain sometimes, but no one should play the villain all of the time. By failing to embrace uncomfortable but safe things, you're depriving yourself of new experiences, and being a villain.

He hasn't made anything good since Coraline. It seems like a pretty big gamble.

Yep, that about sums it up.

The story does not center around Jack as the main character but focuses on a pseudo-sequel where Jack successfully reshapes Christmas into a Halloween/Christmas hybrid.

Jack has become an oppressive pumpkin king/ leader who is cherished by all for his charisma and representing the new ideals in this society.

The story focuses on a child character who tries to find meaning in the holidays Christmas and Halloween in a world possessed by commercialism and obsessive festivities which has been created by Jack over time.

>I was going to continue but realized my version was shit and feels like 1984 plus Tim Burton. It's not Hot Topic enough. Fuck it, just make Jack have a crossover with Alice in Wonderland and make money off the merchandise.

I'd just extend this Robot Chicken sketch
youtu.be/ag1vabERNn0?t=122

There, easy profit, especially considering Seth Green is out of work right now

Is it weird that sally bit got me hard?

Easy. I'd hire someone who's smarter and more talented than I am, make the movie for as cheap as possible, and then pocket the rest.

Santa has become paranoid ever since Jack kidnapped him, so to assert his dominance, he's started to push Christmas harder and harder, eventually overtaking Thanksgiving. That's why stores keep putting out Christmas shit earlier and earlier. The Thanksgiving spirit comes to Jack for help, and they team up with other lesser known holidays to ensure holiday equality.

Jack visits the dia de los muertos in tim burton style.

And by Tim Burton you mean Henry Selick, who also directed Nightmare before Christmas?
Face it, user, Tim Burton was never very talented since the beginning.

go full jewand make the nightmare before hanukkah

>made Beetlejuice
>made Batman
>made Vincent
>made Batman Returns
>made Ed fucking Wood
Tim Burton was one of the most talented directors of his time, then everything went to shit with the new millennium.

I think it would be awkward if the next villain came from Halloween Town. It would be like the place really does harness evil instead of just spooky fun. I like the Krampus idea.

Make a spiritual successor that takes place in the same universe. A useless holiday like Arbor Day tries to take over all the more popular holidays; the villain is the protagonist and we get to sympathize with his goals, even though wanting to replace something as kickass as Christmas with "hey aren't trees neat and important you guys" is a stupid plan that no one could get behind.

Basically give it that same melancholy/irreverent tone as the first one with a similar visual style. Maybe have Jack show up near the end for a little bit, but I'd try to stay as far away from Halloween and Christmastown as possible.

Samhain, or another spooky old deity/spirit, is pissed that he is no longer paid proper tribute during the holiday of Halloween. He wants to thus put the real teeth back into the holiday, but Jack and the "We're not mean" Halloweentown don't want to play along. Jack Shows him the Holiday Forest and Christmas Town in an attempt to get him to lighten up, but Sally is naturally weary of him. Samhain KO's Jack and leaves him in Christmas Town as they are about to leave. He then sets about burning the Holiday Forest, preventing fast travel and hitting that "nostalgia destroyed" chord. Next he unleashes the "real monsters" and a horrible nightmare/underworld upon the mundane world.

Santa is naturally distraught at this turn of events and travels to Halloween Town, because he thought he had settled things the last time. But when he goes to leave Christmas Town via the doorway it doesn't work and he has to go the long route. Meanwhile Sally and Zero go out searching for Jack and discover the forest is burnt to the ground. Santa spies her from above, Sally explains the situation and they go to recover Jack. After finding Jack in the snow they take him back to Halloween Town where they enlist the help of the doctor whose name escapes me at the moment. After he wakes Jack up with a potion they set about prepping to take down Samhain. Some magical amulet, or something like that, is being used to hold open the underworld portal, so they set about enlisting people to help. Locke, Shocke and Barrel show up, can't decide if they should be aged up or not, but everyone else is too afraid of the "actual" monsters to join in. Meanwhile Santa enlists the help of a few other holidayers like the Easter Bunny and some tongue-in-cheek Pilgrims&Indians.

The gang goes to confront Samhain in Definitely-Not-New-York-City. We get a short battle montage while Sally and Jack square off with Samhain. Sally and Samhain argue about the true spirit of Halloween. Short fight the end.

I would just adapt the videogame that's a sequel to the movie.

Hire Henry Selick, see if Elfman will take a small paycheck, bring in Burton just for the name at least, and fire anyone that suggests CGI right on the spot.

And throw in that bit at the end about Jack and Sally's kids and their xylophone band during the credits.

Throw in the krampus somewhere and you've got a decent pitch on your hands.

Jack finds the doors to holidays no one celebrates anymore and decides to throw a big festival celebrating all of them.

Krampus is for the sequel along with the return of Oogie.

Director he was good I won't argue that.
However, the majority of those films he typically had Denise Di Novi help co-produce, had someone else other than himself producing the film, along with other people making the screenplays.
It's when he started to solo-produce his movies and write them himself everything turned to shit.

Just give me something where Skeleton dog from corpse bride, ghost dog from nightmare before christmas, and frankenweenie interact.

>burn down the holiday forest
I always thought each holiday realm had their own Hinterlands, and that's where the various doors spat you out.

This sounds great. A store I work at put out a fuck ton of Christmas shit in the middle of October. It upsets me.

Even keeping the green whip?

Someone from another holiday finds their way into Halloweentown and tries to change it. Could take indirect potshots at overprotective moms who try to take all the fun out of the holiday.

Hell yeah

>Is it weird that sally bit got me hard?

She's a patchwork rag doll filled with autumn leaves you sick bastard.
But i can't say i'm surprised, except at the lack of sally 34

Someone has taken Jack's misguided Christmas adventure as inspiration to do the same, only they don't see the error of their ways as Jack did and have been collecting the heads of every holiday world. Jack must set out to rescue them with a ragtag team of secondary characters from each world. Also, let's actually see the Halloweentown residents handling Halloween instead of coming in after the fact.

>That's why stores keep putting out Christmas shit earlier and earlier.
Seriously. I'm in Alaska and store here have had Christmas stuff out since mid-September and they got their Halloween stuff out a few days into October. Some already have taken down most of their Halloween stuff too.

Manipulated by oogie the mayor bécane Trump after immigrants' arrival of the city dia of muertos. And jack learns various "Halloween" of the world and their values

1. hire henry selick
2. setting is the town of dia del muerto.
3. focuses on the DdM cast, who are entirely new characters for first act. second act + plot can deal with different cultures' interpretations of halloween/death festivals and how those coexist in the holiday tree setting. don't explain too much and leave it mysterious too though.

and yes I know Book of Life exists. There are can be two movies about one holiday.

Holiday Avengers.

Jack forms a team with the leaders of the other holidays to take down some super powered villain.

It's stupid but the hot topic retards will probably eat it up so it'll make money anyway.

As if it's not going to be a movie about Sally going on her journey to another holiday land to track down a missing/lost Jack.
Rehire Selick and Elfman.

Send Jack to Hanukkah land to complete the final solution

Option B: Jack's kid hates Halloween and wants to be an elf or something so Jack tries to teach him the joy of horror but in the end learns to accept that his son's gay... I mean an elf


Also he's gay and trans and his design includes a bunch of stripes and studs and other shit that looks good on a hoodie

Just rerelease the original one idiots, play it in theatres on Halloween and sell it as an digital file available on 'exclusive' USB drives that look like the characters

>lay down
>start crying

The embodiment of Leap Day gets pissed that it only exists once every four years so it fucks up the calendar and makes major holidays disappear, making the human world boring and devoid of celebration.

Jack and Co. team up with other holiday icons to save the day... er, days.

Use the other holidays. Incorporate Mardi Gras somehow. The Day of the Dead too. There could be some fun with those holidays.

>Lock, Shock, and Barrel want to help make the next Halloween better by giving Jack something even he has never seen
>they search different holidays until they find Krampus
>turns out Krampus has a thing for stuffing bad children in a sack is able to escape his prison in Christmas land thanks to them
>Jack and Santa to the rescue.
>end stinger Krampus escapes carrying a burlap sack that says HAPPY HALLOWEEN in Ken Pages voice

>Seth Green is out of work right now
Not anywhere close to be true
imdb.com/name/nm0001293/

Smaller holidays proposition Jack to get their own worlds, because they're cramped into a single tree. The world is disproportionately affected by all these 'major' holidays, and all the holiday worlds start to wither. Jack, Santa and co have to bring back the balance.

>OP sleeps after making thread that he assumes is gonna die
>wakes up, thread thrived overnight

Thank you all, Sup Forums. Some of these ideas are fucking awesome.

Just adapt the videogame in some fashion

Oogie escapes and reforms.

Starts taking over the less prominent holidays. like St. Padrick's day. Then moves up to the bigger ones with Santa and Jack having to team up to fight Giga Oogie and his army of oogified holidays

Jack has been summoned via magic ritual by a group of mall goths, who then drag him along to a shifty convention.

Alternate scenes between Jack being hounded by teenagers and weirdos at the con and someone else (probably sally) coming to save him.

In the end there's a message directed to fandom in general, something along the lines of "it's great to have things you like, but you should always rememeber to respect them instead of mindlessly obsessing over them."

Also you can have a bit where Jack ducks through a rocky horror screening to escape pursuit. Bam.

youtube.com/watch?v=uTh6qtZZArI

As Christmas encroaches more and more on Thanksgiving, it soon starts to threaten Halloween. Elves start moving in and annexing Halloweentown, so Jack has to figure out how, why, and how to stop it.

There will be a post credits scene where a family is sitting around for Thanksgiving dinner and then the three prankster children burst out of it and scare the family. They say "How do YOU like it?" as they leave.

That would be fun.

>Also you can have a bit where Jack ducks through a rocky horror screening to escape pursuit. Bam.
Which song?
Be aware that your answer can change the way I perceive your idea.
