as a(n American) child I absolutely missed that Jack Skellington (the Pumpkin King) is in fact actually the crowned monarch of Halloween Town! He's only a figurehead, of course, as this is mod'ren times; legally the power belongs to the Mayor, as an official elected by the people. (Given, though, Jack's charisma and the Mayor's indecisive nature… etc. etc. whatever.)

ALSO WTF THAT'S PATRICK STEWART DOING THE NARRATION???

anyway the other thing is that in the spirit of most, like. "traditional" movie musicals, this is really operatic.
