There are many forms of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. In some cases there are movies made, and in others there is an actual story has been created, most of which that have different authors or creators. I have found two movies, and one story that are about the scary headless horseman, all of which I find very interesting to read and watch. I have found many similarities between the Original story and the movie created by Disney, but it seems that the movie created by Tim Burton just isn't as closely related to the other two versions. Three ways in which I have found differences are in each version, are their unique characterization, plot, and style.…
The Nightmare Before Christmas is an ideal example of Tim Burton’s cinematic technique like low key lighting, non-diegetic sound/music, and low angle framing/close up. Tim Burton uses low key lighting in The Nightmare Before Christmas in many scenes. For example, the Halloween Land (aka where Jack lived) was always dark,creepy, and mysterious. The land was all about Halloween and how to scare people on the one day each year they can. Tim Burton also inserted a lot of non-diegetic sounds and music in his movies to convey…

A famous boxer and practitioner of peaceful resistance to laws once refused to join the draft for the Vietnam War. Muhammad Ali knew that he was violating the law, but he did not perpetuate that he was above the law; he knew the consequences and was fully prepared to accept them. He was arrested and convicted to 5 years in prison, and he underwent years of public backlash against his decision. However, it was the same war that caused the downfall of Lyndon B. Johnson, who-once revered and respected for his work in social programs to help his country-became bombarded with mockery and a daily dose of “Hey hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?”…

In the Nightmare Before Christmas’ case, the characters are made of clay and are moved little by little each frame.

Families from all around the nation enjoyed the combination of Tim Burton and Disney. The Nightmare Before Christmas is about a Skeleton named Jack (speaking voice of chris Sarandon and singing voice of Danny Elfman), also known as the “Pumpkin King” in the Halloween town he lives in. Although Jack is adored by everyone, he is tired of being the Pumpkin King and craves for something new. One day he gets lost in the woods and discovers a door leading into Christmas Town.

Tim Burton creates incredible scenery and amazing music that gives its…
