[MrSimplyNeurotic]

What kind of a mum leaves her kid to go upstairs alone in a house like that i hope she gets reported lol:L

Tim Burton's awesome in the freakiest kind of ways ^^

[BrightIdeaStudio]

@MrSimplyNeurotic This isn't done by Tim Burton

[TheSmoothCriminal97]

We've been watching this in English for Film Language, and half of the class was freaked out, mainly by the rat XD.

I hate the end though, when he's got no eyes D:

- Geoooo-rgie

[N30KID]

Twisted. And yet, very intriguing

[xxmissmcflurryxx]

The bit at the beginning is scariest i think, when that poor little deformed kid was marching to the beat of the clock or whatevr. i feel sorry for the mother to be honest lol x

[rockmasamura]

What? Tim Burton didn't have ANYTHING to do with this? Really? Why does it look so much like Nightmare Before Christmas then?

[TheSmoothCriminal97]

@rockmasamura

Nah it's not Tim Burton, Tim Burton's characters always have really long legs.

But Nightmare Before Christmas is amazing <3

[morgala]

i had to do this in year 7 at schoo scared the crap out of me and now i have scared my gf thanks for the up load i will get lots of cuddles to night lol XD

[kingofvintage]

Amazing... One of my all time favorites. I remember seeing this on channel 4 around 18 years ago, it still just as impressive and as scary as i'd remembered.... maybe even more!!!

[TwilightFire]

I remember this! AWESOME! I can't believe I found it....

I recall seeing this when I was maybe 8 or younger. And at that age, I would never have the guts to look under the bed myself! LOL

Someone mentioned an Animation Festival? I recall seeing this animation with a bunch of others, but I'm not sure what it was for. Anyone else remember?

[QueenBoadicea]

I DID first see this at an animation festival. It was so original and creepy that I never forgot it. I loved how closer it adhered to the original Germanic tale by E.T.A. Hoffman. The festival was also where I first saw Ren & Stimpy and realized there's more to animation than Disney. After watching R&S I told my sister who was with me at the time, "That was the UGLIEST cartoon I'd ever seen." I meant it in a good way; it was a refreshing antidote to Disney's sterile prettiness.

[boyoehackenslash]

Check out the British animation awards website, they sell dvd's you may have seen volume 2, which contains sandman, but we saw it on channel 4 back when they used to commission animated shorts, maybe you saw it then?

[pokrovskiy]

[jajaJORDI]

well by the looks of it it's good you're taking an english class

[pumpkingoth]

what kind of sadistics psychos would actually SHOW this to children!? x___x;;;;

[fako69]

A: It's not meant for children.

B: There are a fair number of adults who enjoy the animation medium, that this film was intended for. It was originally shown at an Animation Festival back in the early 90s.

I wish people would get it out of their head that animation = for kids.

[cecylinares]

i saw it when i was 8, i couldnt sleep for a month!!! lol

[fako69]

HAHA I saw around that same time as well! It certainly did give me something to think about at night..
