The Irelanders' Adventures of The Nightmare Before Christmas/Transcript

This is the transcript for The Irelanders' Adventures of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[The film begins with the caption Walt Disney Pictures Presents then the title "The Irelanders' Adventures of the Nightmare Before Christmas" before cutting to a bare treed forest where the Tortuga is flying]

Chris Kratt: That's it, Jimmy. This is a good height.

Fluttershy: Oh, my. Looks like it's winter here but the sun is shining and there's no snow on the ground.

Connor Lacey: It's always been like this, Fluttershy. This place is known as the Hinterlands.

Tip: The Hinterlands?

Dash: What's that?

Twilight Sparkle: The Hinterlands is a place from a poem called The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was written by Tim Burton many years ago.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: How do you know that, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: I have a copy of it back at Golden Oaks Library.

Lightning McQueen: So why are we here?

Mewtwo: I think we're about to find out.

[Connor spots some trees standing in a circle in a clearing]

Connor Lacey: There! That's our destination.

Dusty Crophopper: A bunch of trees standing in a circle?

Connor Lacey: Yes, Dusty. Land right next to those seven trees standing a circle, Jimmy.

Jimmy Z: Heading down, nice and easy.

[The Tortuga lands near the trees. The Irelanders get out and walking into the center of the trees which have doors on them]

Jiminy Cricket: Well, this is weird. Doors on trees.

Spike: Are you sure this is where you want us to be, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Of course, Spike. As you see, these trees have doors representing different holidays on them. Can one of you tell me which door represents which holiday?

Applejack: Well, that door has a green tree on it so it's Hearth's Warming Eve.

Koki: You mean Christmas, which Hearth's Warming Eve is based on like you told us about.

Applejack: You got it, sugarcube.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: That one's shaped like a four leafed clover so it represents St Patrick's Day.

Connor Lacey: Exactly, Helen. The Heart door represents Valentines Day or Hearts and Hooves Day in Twilight and her friends' words. The turkey door represents Thanksgiving. The egg door represents Easter. The pumpkin door represents Halloween, and the firework door represents Bonfire Night.

Martin Kratt: Wow. For a guy who knows this stuff, you must've read that poem like [counts his fingers] a gazillion times.

Connor Lacey: Well, it also helps with learning about the holidays back in school and in Ireland.

Raven Queen: Yeah. Just like at Ever After High and Monster High.

Chris Kratt: So which door should we go in, first?

Rainbow Dash: Sssh. Do you guys hear that?

Narrator: Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems. In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story that you are about to be told took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun.

Melody: Who said that?

Applejack: Beats me sugarcube.

Pinkie Pie: Hello, Mr Voice! Are you telling a story?

Aviva Corcovado: Uh, Pinkie, I don't think he can hear you.

Pinkie Pie: Oh.

Rarity: So, which door should we choose, Connor, darling?

Connor Lacey: Hmm. (thinks for a minute) I think the Halloween door would be the best choice. Cause look, it's opening.

[The pumpkin shaped door representing Halloween opens. They peek down into the darkness]

Dash Parr: Hello?

Mandy Flood: There's nothing but a dark tunnel down there.

James Jones: Ooh. I hope it's not scary.

Fireman Sam: Maybe one of us should go down and make sure it's safe.

Mewtwo: And what better person to do so than you, Sam. After all, you are always going on about safety you know.

Fireman Sam: Uh, OK. If you're sure.

Fluttershy: Be careful.

[Sam picks up a torch and climbs down into the hole. He turns on his torch and walks down the tunnel. He looks around cautiously and turns to look back the way he came for a moment but bumps into something. He turns and sees a scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern head staring at him close up. He jumps back startled]

Fireman Sam: Whoa!

Penny Morris: What's going on, Sam?! Are you okay?!

Fireman Sam: I'm fine, Penny! Just bumped into a scarecrow, that's all. [lifts his torch to see the scarecrow is attached to a sign that reads Halloween Town] Hmm. Halloween Town?

Spud the Scarecrow: Me?

Fireman Sam: Not you, Spud. One with a jack-o-lantern head.

Spud The Scarecrow: Oh, another scarecrow.

Connor Lacey: Is it safe?

Fireman Sam: Yes, Connor. Though you might want to look at this sign once you get down here.

Norman Price: Come on, let's get on with it.

Jimmy Z: You do that. I'II stay in the Tortuga and guard it.

Twilight Sparkle: (using her magic to stop him) No, Jimmy. You're coming with us whether you're brave enough or not.

Jimmy Z: Aw, no fair.

[One by one the Irelanders climb into the hole and join Sam near the scarecrow attached to the sign]

Elvis Cridlington: [feeling a rush of cold wind] Brrr. It's chilly.

Station Officer Steele: Yes. It's always windy during autumn, Cridlington.

[The wind is so strong that the scarecrow and the sign spin around and point down the tunnel as if to tell them to carry on]

Connor Lacey: Guess we'd better follow where they're pointing, guys.

Sarah Jones: They're pointing this way. So we need to forward.

[They walk on down the tunnel and exit into a graveyard lit up by a full nighttime moon. Sam turns off his torch]

Fireman Sam: Listen.

[They hear music as the song This is Halloween starts playing. Shadows appear on the gravestones around them]

Shadows: Boys and girls of every age~

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?~

Come with us and you will see~

This, our town of Halloween~

Ghosts: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night~

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene~

Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright~

It's our town, everybody scream~

In this town of Halloween~

[Sam opens the door to a house]

Fireman Sam: Quickly, everyone inside and upstairs, now!

[The Irelanders run into the house and up the stairs. Sam closes the door and runs up the steps then closes the door of the room they're in. They all sigh in relief]

Monster: I am the one hiding under your bed~

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red~

Fluttershy: [shrieks]

Connor Lacey: Downstairs, everyone! Hurry!

[The Irelanders run down the stairs and stop next to the cupboard, panting]

Monster Under the Stairs: I am the one hiding under your stairs~

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair~

James Jones: [screams]

Twilight Sparkle: Go, go!

[The Irelanders run out of the house and into another one. This time they enter a room with a bed, wardrobe, clock and sofa as book pages flip over in the wind]

Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

Irelanders: [screaming and run out of the house]

Vampires: In this town, we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Mayor: In this town, don't we love it now?~

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise~

Maisie Lockwood: The next unnecessary jumpstart more like!

Chorus: Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can~

Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll...~

Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man: Scream! This is Halloween~

Red 'n' black, and slimy green~

Werewolf: Aren't you scared?!~

Irelanders: Yes!

Witches: Well that's just fine~

Say it once, say it twice, take a chance and roll the dice~

Ride with the moon in the dead of night~

Hanging Tree: Everybody scream! Everybody scream!~

Irelanders: [screaming]

Hanging Skeletons: In our town of Halloween~

Clown: I am the clown with the tear away face~

Here in a flash and gone without a trace~

[Sally, a ragdoll woman styled after Frankenstein's monster, is brushing her hair from a window then stops and lets it flap in the wind]

Voice: I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"~

I am the wind blowing through your hair...~

Oogie Boogie's Shadow: I am the shadow on the moon at night~

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright~

Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

Violet Parr: Yes, we can see that, thank you very much!

Jimmy Z: Could this get any scarier?

Corpse Child, Winged Demon: Tender lumpings everywhere~

Life's no fun without a good scare~

Parent Corpses: That's our job but we're not mean~

In our town of Halloween~

Mayor: In this town, don't we love it now?~

Everyone's waiting for the next surprise~

Chorus: Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee, make you jump out of your skin~

This is Halloween, everybody scream!~

Won't ya please make way for a very special guy?~

Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch~

Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now~

This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

Corpse Child & Mummy: In this town we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Citizens: La! La! La! La! La! La! La! La! Halloween! Halloween!~ (repeat)

Undersea Gal: La! La! La! La! La! La!~

Citizens: Whee! [applauding]

Clown: It's over!

Behemoth: We did it. [chest-bumps Clown]

Werewolf: Wasn't it terrifying?

Mr. Hyde and Cyclops: What a night!

[Jack climbs down from the fountain as the Irelanders look terrified at the citizens]

Mayor: Great Halloween, everybody.

Jack Skellington: I believe it was our most horrible yet. Thank you, everyone.

Mayor: No, thanks to you, Jack. Without your brilliant leadership...

Vampire 1: [spotting the Irelanders] Hey, look!

[The residents look at the Irelanders]

Ron Stoppable: Stay away from us!

Mayor: Why, it seems we have visitors.

Connor Lacey: Take whatever you want, just don't kill us!

Mayor: Kill you? Hah. No one in Halloween Town ever hurts anyone. We simply just do what we do for fun.

Jack Skellington: Indeed. It's what we do every Halloween. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King.

Fluttershy: Argh!

[She jumps up into a tree and shaking while hanging like a sloth]

Jack Skellington: Is she always like that?

Rainbow Dash: Afraid so. Fluttershy, it's okay. They're not gonna hurt us.

Fluttershy: [feeling comforted by Rainbow's words] Oh, okay. [flies back to the ground] Sorry, Jack. I'm just timid that's all.

Jack Skellington: That's alright. And who might I ask are all of you?

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Twilight Sparkle: My name is Twilight Sparkle.

Kim Possible: I'm Kim Possible.

Mewtwo: I am Mewtwo.

Lightning McQueen: I'm Lightning McQueen.

Dusty Crophopper: Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Melody: I'm Melody.

Jiminy Cricket: Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket.

Martin Kratt: We're The Wild Kratts. I'm Martin Kratt.

Chris Kratt: And I'm his brother, Chris Kratt.

Maisie Lockwood: I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam. This is Penny Morris, Elvis Cridlington, Station Officer Steele, Radar, Tom Thomas, Chief Fire Officer Boyce, my brother, Charlie, Bronwyn Jones, my niece and nephew Sarah and James, Dilys Price, Norman Price, Derek Price, Trevor Evans, Mike Flood, Helen Flood and Mandy Flood.

Spud The Scarecrow: And I'm Spud. I'm a scarecrow.

Jack Skellington: It is nice to meet you. Welcome to Halloween Town.

Norman Price: I thought that all of you are in stories, bad scary creatures and not real.

Mayor: It's true what they say in books but here we're very real.

Werewolf: And no one ever knows about this place. Plus, it's our job to make Halloween, well, Halloween.

Sea Monster: Also, we're not really bad as you people think we are. We're merely creatures who like to scare people for fun but we mean no harm. Just misunderstood.

Derek Price: Oh, that explains what you didn't touch us when we were frightened of you before.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. We're good.

Jack Skellington: Glad you finally see that after your little surprise. [to the Mayor] As for what you said about my leadership, Mayor, not at all.

Vampire 1: You're such a scream Jack!

Witch: You're a witch's fondest dream!

Witch 2: You made walls fall, Jack!

[As everyone is congratulating Jack on a job well done, a gloved hand grabs Sally from behind the Hanging Tree and turns her to face it's owner, her creator, Dr. Finkelstein]

Dr. Finkelstein: The Deadly Nightshade you slipped me wore off, Sally.

Sally: Let go.

Dr. Finkelstein: You're not ready for so much excitement.

Sally: Yes, I am!

Dr. Finkelstein: [starting to drag her away but she holds back] You're coming with me!

Sally: No I'm not!

[She unravels a thread on her arm which comes off, causing Dr. Finkelstein to fall over and out of his chair onto the ground. Sally runs off]

Dr. Finkelstein: Come back here you foolish oaf! [as her disassembled arm hits his head several times] Ow!

[With the Irelanders and residents]

Sea Monster: Ooh, Jack. You made wounds ooze and flesh crawl!

Jack Skellington: [feeling uneasy and backing away] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Very much!

Mater: Guys, guys. Give him some space will ya?

Chug: Besides, show's over. Break it up. Break it up.

Mayor: [on megaphone] Hold it! We haven't given out the prices yet.

Crowd: [cheering]

[While they're distracted, Jack sneaks off, which the Irelanders notice and follow]

Mayor: Our first award goes to the vampires for Most Blood Drained In A Single Evening.

[He hands a trophy to the vampires. Jack backs around a wall, sighs in relief then walks past the local band and tossed a coin to them. The Irelanders follow only seconds behind]

Band Member 1: Nice work, Bone Daddy.

Jack Skellington: Oh, I guess so, just like last year. And the year before that. And the year before that.

Maisie Lockwood: What's up with Jack?

Pinkie Pie: How should I know? He's not smiling. And I like to see people smile.

Fireman Sam: We'd better follow him and find out what's wrong.

Mewtwo: Good thinking. Come on.

[They carry on following Jack. In the graveyard, Sally is stuffing leaves into her shoulder when she hears someone coming. Thinking it's Dr. Finkelstein, she hides behind a gravestone and peeks out to see it's just Jack and the Irelanders. They walk past the gravestone Sally is hiding behind without noticing her and she peeks out to watch Jack lovingly. As Jack and the Irelanders walk along, they stop by a gravestone styled like a dog's kennel with the name ZERO written on it. Jack taps his leg and his pet ghost dog with a jack-o-lantern nose, Zero appears from the gravestone]

Fluttershy: [gasps] Oh, my goodness. Who's this cute little guy?

Jack Skellington: Oh, that's my pet ghost dog, Zero.

Frozone/Lucius Best: Look, Jack, why are you so down? You sounded so proud before.

Jack Skellington: Well, I've grown tired of doing the same routine every year and I wish I could add something new to Halloween to make it twice as scary. Allow me to explain in song.

[The song Jack's Lament starts playing]

Jack Skellington: There are few who deny at what I do I am the best~

For my talents are renowned far and wide~

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night~

I excel without ever even trying~

With slightest little effort of my ghost like charms~

I have seen grown men give out a shriek~

With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan~

I have swept the very bravest off their feet~

Finn McMissile: Wow.

Jack Skellington: Yet, year after year, it's the same routine~

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams~

And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King~

Have grown so tired of the same old thing~

[Zero watches sadly as his master and the Irelanders walk on. Unbeknownst to them, Sally is listening and feels sorry for Jack]

Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones~

An emptiness began to grow~

There's something out there far from my home~

A longing that I've never known~

I'm the master of fright, and a demon of light~

And I'll scare you right out of your pants~

To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mr. Unlucky~

And I'm known throughout England and France~

And since I am dead, I can take off my head~

To recite Shakespearian quotations~

No animal nor man can scream like I can~

With the fury of my recitations~

But who here would ever understand~

That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin~

Would tire of his crown~

If they only understood~

That he'd give it all up if he only could~

Oh there's an empty place in my bones~

That calls out for something unknown~

The fame and praise come year after year~

Does nothing for these empty tears~

[Jack, Zero and the Irelanders walk out of the graveyard into the tunnel. Sally comes out from hiding and looks toward Spiral Hill sadly]

Sally: Jack. I know how you feel.

[She walks over to some gravestones and kneels down. She picks some dead flowers from the Deadly Nightshade and Witch Hazel gravestones before putting them back in a pot with the label Deadly Nightshade on it. She closes the lid and puts it away in a cupboard just as Dr. Finkelstein comes down the spiraling ramp carrying a lamp. Sally sees him coming and closes the cupboard]

Dr. Finkelstein: Sally. You've come back.

Sally: I had to.

Dr. Finkelstein: [holds out her disassembled arm] For this?

Sally: Yes.

Dr. Finkelstein: Shall we then?

[Sally walks past him up the ramp with him following her seconds after. In the lab, Dr. Finkelstein stitches Sally's arm back on]

Dr. Finkelstein: That's twice this month you've slipped Deadly Nightshade into my tea and run off.

Sally: Three times.

Dr. Finkelstein: You're mine, you know! I made you! With my own hands.

Sally: You can make other creations. I'm restless. I can't help it.

Dr. Finkelstein: It's a phase, my dear. It'll pass. [cuts the final thread with his mouth to complete the stitching] We need to be patient. That's all.

Sally: But I don't want to be patient.

[Meanwhile, Jack, Zero and the Irelanders are still walking]

Zero: [barking]

Jack Skellington: No, Zero. Not now. I'm not in the mood.

Zero: (barking)

Jack Skellington: Oh, alright. [reaches into his coat and pulls out a boomerang shaped bone] Here you go boy.

[He throws it and Zero chases after it. Zero searches around for it then using his jack-o-lantern nose, finds in a dark space under a tree. He picks it up in his mouth and flies back to Jack and the Irelanders as they continue. The next day, the band is asleep when the Mayor drives up in his car and stops, waking them up. He gets out]

Mayor: Morning, gents. [humming This is Halloween]

[The Mayor walks through the gate and up the steps to Jack's house while still humming. He rings the door bell which makes a screaming noise. He looks at the band, waves, then tries again]

Mayor: Jack? You home?

[There's silence. The Mayor switches his face from happy to worry and bangs on the door before changing back to happy again]

Mayor: Jack? I've got the plans for next Halloween. I need to go over them with you so we can get started. (with worried face) Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself. Jack, answer me!!

[He falls down the stairs screaming and lands in front of the gate and the band]

Band Member 2: He's not home.

Mayor: Where is he?

Band Member 1: He hasn't been home all night. Those guys calling themselves the Irelanders followed him but we don't know where they went.

Mayor: [sighs in worry]

[Meanwhile, the sun shines with a jack-o-lantern face over it in the Hinterlands. Jack is fast asleep while walking and so are the Irelanders. Jack and the Irelanders wake up and yawn]

Jack Skellington: [yawns] Where are we?

Melody: We're back in the Hinterlands.

Connor Lacey: We must've been walking for a very long time.

Twilight Sparkle: True. Look, there's the Tortuga right where we left it.

[Jack looks around in wonder and awe]

Jack Skellington: It's someplace new.

Kim Possible: It may be new to you, Jack, but it's memorable to us.

Penny Morris: Yes. Once we enter a new place, it starts feel familiar.

[As they walk on, Zero stops and barks]

Zero: (barking)

Radar: (barking)

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: What is it, guys?

Chris Kratt: I can't tell what they're saying.

Martin Kratt: Fluttershy, since you can communicate with animals, can you translate what they're saying?

Fluttershy: Of course. Zero is saying that he's concerned about this place while Radar tries to assure him.

Aviva Corcovado: Oh. Thanks anyway.

[They carry on into the seven Holiday Tree clearing]

Jack Skellington: What is this?

[He looks around at the variety of Holiday Doors]

Mewtwo: He must be very curious.

Cruz Ramirez: Yeah, for a skeleton.

Spike: Perhaps we ought to teach him about the different holidays of the year.

Tom Thomas: Actually, let's let him find out for himself, shall we, mate? I mean the best way to learn is by experience itself.

Li' Dipper: Tom does have a point.

Spike: Oh, yeah. I'll keep that in mind.

[Jack then looks to his right and gasps. He looks at the Christmas tree shaped door with a smile on his face and walks toward it. He turns the door knob and opens it but finds nothing but darkness]

Tip: Well, looks like all the doors start with darkness.

Dash: Yeah. That could be a common thing here.

Pinkie Pie: Hello? Any pony down there?

Station Officer Steele: Careful, we don't want to be falling in and hurting ourselves.

[Jack look at Zero and shrugs but then snowflakes start to pour out and swirl around him]

Elvis Cridlington: Ooh, snowflakes.

Mack: Where did they come from? Are the doors meant to do that?

Spud The Scarecrow: Beats me.

[The snowflakes dragged Jack and the Irelanders into the hole and the door shut much to the shock of Zero]

Zero: [barking]

Jack Skellington: Whoa!!!!

Irelanders: [screaming]

The Mask: (as The Grinch) Maybe I should flip a coin!

[A flash of light happens and they land on a mount of snow]

Connor Lacey: Well, at least we landed on something soft.

Applejack; Everypony OK?

Twilight Sparkle: We're fine, Applejack.

Frozone/Lucius Best: Not to break up to see if everyone's alright but where are we?

Violet Parr: Where's there's snow, there's... [gasps] Look!

[Everyone looks to see a Christmas themed town in the distance. They look around in awe and wonder at their surroundings before sliding into the town as the song What's This? starts playing]

Jack Skellington: What's this? What's this?~

There's color everywhere~

What's this? There's white things in the air~

What's this? I can't believe my eyes~

I must be dreaming~

Wake up, Jack! This isn't fair!~

What's this?~

What's this?~

There's something very wrong~

What's this?~

There's people singing songs~

What's this?~

The streets are lined with little creatures laughing~

Everybody seems so happy~

Have I possibly gone daffy?~

What is this? What's this?~

There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads~

They're busy building toys~

And absolutely no one's dead~

There's frost in every window~

Oh, I can't believe my eyes~

And in my bones, I feel the warmth that's coming from inside...~

Oh, look! What's this?~

They're hanging mistletoe~

They kiss? Why that looks so unique~

Inspired! They're gathering round to hear a story roasting chestnuts on a fire!~

What's this?~

What's this in here?~

They've got a little tree~

How queer? And who would ever think?~

And why? They're covering it with tiny little things~

They've got electric lights on strings and there's a smile on everyone~

So now correct me if I'm wrong!~

This looks like fun! This looks like fun!~

Oh, could it be I got my wish?~

What's this?~

Oh my, what now?~

The children are asleep~

But look, there's nothing underneath~

No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them~

Only cozy little things secure inside their dream land~

Ah... What's this?!~

The monsters are all missing and the nightmares can't be found~

And in their place there seems to be good feeling all around~

Instead of screams, I swear, I can hear music in the air~

The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere~

The sights, the sounds!~

They're everywhere and all around~

I've never felt so good before~

This empty place inside of me is filling up~

I simply cannot get enough~

I want it oh I want it oh I want it for my own!~

I've got to know, I've got to know~

What is this place that I have found?!~

What?! Is?! This?!~

[Jack smacks into a pole and falls back in the snow]

Irelanders: Ooh.

[They run over to check on Jack who picks himself up. He looks up to see the sign with the town's name on it]

Jack Skellington: Christmas Town? Hmm.

Connor Lacey: This must be where the holiday Christmas comes from.

Twilight Sparkle: And Hearth's Warming Eve too.

Norman Price: Do you think we'II see Santa here?

Spud The Scarecrow: Yeah so that we could ask him to bring us lots of presents?

Finn McMissile: No, you two. We're just here for sight-seeing. But we might see him. Who knows?

Maisie Lockwood: But if you two do something naughty, he will put you on his naughty list and you won't get presents. Understood?

Norman Price: Yes, Maisie.

Spud the Scarecrow: Oh, yes, yes, yessity yes!

Maisie Lockwood: Good.

Ron Stoppable: So what shall we do next?

Rufus: (mutters I don't know)

Santa Claus: Ho-ho-ho-ho.

[Just then, they hear a whistle and a door on a house opens revealing Santa Claus' silhouette which Jack eyes curiously. Back in Halloween Town]

Clown: This has never happened before!

Witch: It's suspicious.

Witch 2: It's peculiar.

Vampires: It's scary.

Mayor: [pushing past the Werewolf and Behemoth] Stand aside! Coming through! [climbs to the top of his truck and grabs the megaphone] We've got to find Jack and the Irelanders! There's only 365 days left till next Halloween!

Werewolf: 364!

Mayor: Is there anywhere that we've forgotten to check?

Clown: I look in every mausoleum.

Witches: We opened all the sarcophagi.

Hyde: I tromped through the pumpkin patch.

Vampire: I peeked behind the Cyclops' eye. [as the small witch makes him put his eye back] I did but they weren't there.

Mayor: It's time to sound the alarms!

[The Mummy cranks a cat alarm which makes a loud meowing sound. At Dr. Finkelstein's lab, Sally looks out of the window before going back in and opening the cupboard she put the Deadly Nightshade jar in. She takes it and carries it over to the cauldron she's making soup in and pours some in. A skull appears in the smoke and she covers her nose. She then grabs a jar labeled Frog's Breath]

Sally: Frog's Breath will overpower any odder.

[A frog climbs out]

Frog: (croaking)

[She holds it over the soup and it burps into it releasing a green gas and causing Sally to cough]

Sally: [coughing] Bitter! [coughs again] Worm's Wart. Where is that Worm's Wart?

[She flicks through bottle and finds the right one]

Dr. Finkelstein: Sally? That soup ready yet?

[Sally pours the Worm's Wart in and the stench is removed]

Sally: Coming!

[Upstairs, Dr. Finkelstein is looking through scientific binoculars at something. He opens his head and rubs his brain. Sally comes up with a bowl full of soup in hand]

Sally: Lunch.

[Dr. Finkelstein stops and lets the binoculars raise up. He closes his head]

Dr. Finkelstein: Ah, what's that? [sniffs] Worm's Wart. Mmm. [sniffs] And Frog's Breath?

Sally: What's wrong? I thought you liked Frog's Breath.

Dr. Finkelstein: There is nothing more suspicious than Frog's Breath. Unless you taste it, I won't swallow a spoonful.

Sally: I'm not hungry.

[She pretends to knock the spoon from his hand]

Sally: Oops.

Dr. Finkelstein: You want me to starve. An old man like me who only has strength as it is. Me, to whom you owe your very life.

Sally: Oh, don't be silly. [using a trick spoon which she uses to empty some of the soup so she won't get poisoned herself and pretends to eat it] Mmm. See? Scrumptious.

[Dr. Finkelstein picks up the bowl and swallows the soup, much to Sally's delight. Meanwhile, the Mayor and the others are laid out on his car]

Mayor: Did anyone think to dredge the lake?

Vampire: [yawns] This morning.

[Just then, they all hear a barking noise]

Witch: Hear that?

Witch 2: What?

Witch: Ssssh.

Zero: [barking]

Vampire: Zero!

[Zero flies into view still barking with Jack and the Irelanders following seconds after on a snowmobile. The residents cheer to see that their Pumpkin King and friends are alright. The Irelanders and Jack spot the snowmobile next to the Mayor's car]

Mayor: [with Happy face] Where have you been?

Jack Skellington: Call a town meeting and I'll tell everyone all about it.

Mayor: [with worried face] When?

Jack Skellington: Immediately!

[The town bell rings. The Mayor drives around in his car past the lab]

Mayor: Town meeting! Town meeting! Town meeting tonight! Town Meeting! Town meeting tonight!

[Sally puts a blanket over Dr. Finkelstein who is now fast asleep. Hearing the mayor, she sneaks away and arrives at the town hall with the other residents and the Irelanders. Clown makes her jump with his horn. Jack comes out from behind a door and walks up to the podium]

Jack Skellington: Listen everyone! I want to tell you about Christmas Town.

[The Mayor switches on a spotlight which bats fly off of as the Town Meeting song starts playing]

Jack Skellington: There were objects so peculiar they were not to be believed~

All around, things to tantalize my brain~

It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen~

And as hard as I try, I can't seem to describe~

Like the most improbable dream~

But you must believe when I tell you this: it's as real as my skull and it does exist...~

Here, let me show you~

[He opens a curtain, revealing a Christmas Tree and other Christmas related things, much to the crowd's amazement]

Sally: Ooh.

Jack Skellington: This is a thing called a present~

The whole thing starts with a box~

Harlequin Demon: A box?~

Jersey Devil: Is it steel?~

Werewolf: Are there locks?~

Harlequin Demon: Is it filled with a pox?~

Devil : A pox. How delightful, a pox..,~

Jack Skellington: If you please. Just the box with bright coloured paper~

And the whole thing is topped with a bow~

Witch: A bow?~

Witch 2: But why?~

Witch: How ugly!~

Witches: What's in it? What's in it?~

Jack Skellington: That's the point of the thing, not to know~

Clown: It's a bat!~

Monster Under the Stairs: Will it bend?~

Clown: It's a rat!~

Monster Under the Stairs: Will it break?~

Sea Monster: Perhaps it's the head I found in the lake~

Jack Skellington: Listen now, you don't understand~

That's not the point of Christmas land~

Now pay attention. We pick up an oversized sock~

And hang it like this on the wall~

Mr. Hyde: Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot?~

Medium Hyde: Let me see! Let me look!~

Small Hyde: Is it rotted and covered with gook?~

Jack Skellington: Um, let me explain. There's no foot inside but there's candy~

Or sometimes it's filled with small toys~

Winged Demon: Small toys? Do they bite?~

Mummy: Do they snap?~

Winged Demon: Or explode in a sack?~

Corpse Child: Or perhaps they just spring out and scare girls and boys~

Mayor: What a splendid idea! This Christmas sounds fun!~

I fully endorse it, let's try it at once!~

Jack Skellington: Everyone, please, now not so fast~

There's something here that you don't quite grasp~

Halloween Town people: [murmuring]

Helen Flood: Well, Jack, you may as well give them what they want.

Jack Skellington: You read my mind, Miss Flood. [to the crowd] And the best, I must confess~

I have saved for the last~

For the ruler of this Christmas land~

Is a fearsome king with a deep might voice~

Least, that's what I've come to understand~

I've also heard it told that he is something to behold~

Like a lobster, huge and red~

And sets out to slay with his raingear on~

Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms~

But a sole I've heard it said~

And on a dark cold night in the full moonlight~

He flies into the fog like a vulture in the sky~

And they call him Sandy Claws~

[The crowd cheer. The curtains close]

Jack Skellington: Well, at least they're excited~

But they still don't understand~

That special kind of feeling~

In Christmas Land~

Oh, well~

Connor Lacey: Jack, you got Santa's description all wrong.

Norman Price: Yeah, it's Santa Claus, not Sandy Claws.

Violet Parr: Plus, it's reindeer, not raingear. He doesn't slay anyone either. And he's not a lobster!

Rarity: Honestly, he has hands, not claws.

Jack Skellington: Well, I did the best I could to describe him properly, can you blame me?

Melody: Hmm. Perhaps if you did some research, then perhaps you'd find a logical explanation so you can properly explain this to them.

Jack Skellington: Wonderful idea, Melody. And while I do that, you all get some shut eye.

Connor Lacey: He's right, guys. It's getting late.

The Mask: You heard him. Time to hit the hay.

Fireman Sam: Jack, if it's all right with you, maybe we can stay at your place for the night?

Jack Skellington: But of course, Sam. Zero and I are always happy to have guests.

Zero: [barks]

Twilight Sparkle: Let's get going then.

[That night at Jack's house, Jack is reading Christmas stories but he can't find anything that explains Christmas. He looks at the Christmas decorations around him and then at Zero who has a candy cane in his mouth. The Irelanders are asleep]

Jack Skellington: Hmm. There's got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing.

[Then he gets an idea and picks up a book titled The Scientific Method. The next day, at the lab]

Dr. Finkelstein: You've poisoned me for the last time, you wretched girl!

[He shuts Sally in her room. Just then the door bell rings and he goes to answer it]

Dr. Finkelstein: [groans] My head. The door is open!

[Jack and the Irelanders enter]

Jack Skellington: Hello?

Koki: Anyone home?

Dr. Finkelstein: Jack Skellington! Irelanders! Up here, my boys and girls.

Jack Skellington: Doctor! I need to borrow some equipment.

Dr. Finkelstein: Is that so? Whatever for?

Jack Skellington: I'm conducting a series of experiments.

Dr. Finkelstein: Perfectly marvellous. Curiosity killed the cat you know.

Jack Skellington: I know.

Bronwyn Jones: So you're Dr. Finkelstein.

Dr. Finkelstein: Indeed I am my dear Bronwyn. We're happy to have you here in Halloween Town as our guests and don't worry about what I said back there. It's a figure of speech.

Bronwyn Jones: Well, that's good. I don't want my Lion to get hurt in any way while we're here.

Raven Queen: None of us do, Bronwyn.

Dr. Finkelstein: Come on into the lab and we'll get you all fixed up.

Sally: Hmm. Experiments?

[Later, back at Jack's house]

Jack Skellington: Zero, we're home.

[Jack walks up the stairs and puts his bag on the table. He takes out the things he borrowed from Dr. Finkelstein]

Fireman Sam: Is there anything we can do to help you, Jack?

Jack Skellington: It's a nice offer, Sam. But I wouldn't want you or anyone on Connor's team for that matter getting hurt in the process. Why don't you all go look around the town, get to know your surroundings while you're here? You look like you could use some fresh air.

The Mask: He's right. If we're guests here, we need to know where things are.

Connor Lacey: Come on, guys. Jack needs to concentrate.

Twilight Sparkle: Good luck, Jack.

[The Irelanders head out. Jack takes a berry off some holly and puts it under a microscope. He moves the microscope down to get a better look but ends up squishing the berry in the process. Next, he sticks a candy cane in some liquid but when he takes it back out, it comes out as a plain string. Next, he tries making a snowflake out of paper but ends up making a spider and spiderweb instead. He later dissects a teddy bear and takes a bit of fluff out to examine. Later, Jack takes a bauble off the tree and crushes it into particles and puts them in a beacon of water over a Bunsen burner and it glows]

Jack Skellington: Interesting reaction. But what does it mean?

[Meanwhile, Sally is doing some experimenting of her own. She puts some things in a bottle and puts a cork on top to keep it closed. She then puts it in a basket with several other things and using a sewing machine, she opens her window and lowers the basket to the ground. Looking at the bright light coming from Jack's house, she smiles and jumps. She lands with a thud, causing the local band to cringe. Sally seemingly lays lifeless on the floor but opens her eyes and using a needle and three, stitches herself back together before heading over to Jack's. Dr. Finkelstein opens the door to her room]

Dr. Finkelstein: You can come out now if you promise to behave. [sees she's not there] Sally? Sally? [growls in frustration] Gone again!

[Meanwhile, Jack is still experimenting when Sally's basket taps his window. Jack turns and sees it. He opens the window and looks down to see Sally looking up at him from below. Waving, Jack takes the basked and takes the blanket off to reveal the things Sally put in it. He uncorks the bottle and a butterfly appears in a puff of smoke. Jack smiles then turns to the window to thank Sally but finds that she's gone. Jack is surprised and confused as he closes the window and goes back in. Sally shuts the gate to Jack's house and slides down a wall and sits down on the ground. The Irelanders return and see her]

James Jones: Do you think Jack's had any luck with his experimenting?

Maisie Lockwood: I don't know, James.

Dottie: Hey. [points at Sally] Look.

[They see Sally]

Sally: Oh, hi. You must be the Irelanders I've been hearing about recently. My name is Sally.

Connor Lacey: It's nice to meet you.

Sally (Cars): It might be confusing since we have the same name but I'll use my full name Sally Carrera to avoid that.

Mewtwo: What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?

Sally: Well, I overheard you and my creator Dr. Finkelstein talking about doing some experiments on Christmas related stuff and I decided to help. Don't tell Jack or anyone else that I said this but I have huge feelings for him. I kinda felt sorry for him when he said he felt like Halloween needed something more.

Derek Price: You were there when Jack told us about wanting more than Halloween?

Sally: Yes, I've had eyes on him for a long time. I hope you can forgive me for spying on you. I know it's inappropriate.

Fluttershy: It's OK, Sally. We just didn't know you're there.

Ron Stoppable: Why don't you tell Jack how you feel? I'm sure he'II understand.

Sally: I will, but only when the right time comes. Besides, I don't know how he'll react if I told him sooner. [picks up a dead flower and picks the leaves off it] I often do this to find out if Jack loves me or not.

Connor Lacey: OK, we understand.

Rarity: [gasps] My goodness, look what's happening to the flower.

Sally: [gasps]

[The flower Sally's holding turns into a little Christmas tree which spins then stops before burning into flames and going out. Sally and the Irelanders are horrified]

Norman Price: Did you see that?!

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Guys, do you know what this means?!

Fireman Sam: Great Fires of London! Jack's mixing holidays!

Spud The Scarecrow: Halloween and Christmas together?! That's not right!

Maisie Lockwood: What do we do?

Connor Lacey: We have to stop Jack before it is too late. We'll try and talk him out of it tomorrow but for now we need to get some rest.

Aviva Corcovado: He's right, guys. Let's just sleep on it for now.

Lightning McQueen: Night, guys.

Irelanders and Sally: Night.

[They all fall asleep. The next day, a skeletal rooster crows as the sun rises the next day. The song Jack's Obsession starts playing as the vampires dance next to the sleeping Irelanders and Sally]

Vampires: Something's up with Jack~

Something's up with Jack~

Don't know if we're ever going to get him back~

[Sally and the Irelanders wake up as they walk over. Werewolf dances by]

Werewolf: He's alone up there locked away inside~

[He walks off. Corpse Mom and Child walk by]

Corpse Mom: Never says a word~

Corpse child: Hope he hasn't died~

Citizens:  Something's up with Jack~

Something's up with Jack~

[Sally and the Irelanders look up at Jack's house in worry. Jack is pacing around inside]

Jack Skellington: Christmas time is buzzing in my skull~

Will it let me be? I cannot tell~

There are some many things I cannot grasp~

When I think I've got it, and then at last~

Through my bony fingers, it does slip~

Like a snowflake in a fiery grip~

Something's here I'm not quite getting~

Though I try, I keep forgetting~

Like a memory long since past~

Here in an instant gone in a flash~

What does it mean? What does it mean?~

In these little bric-a-brac~

A secret's waiting to be cracked~

These dolls and toys confuse me so~

Confound it all, I love it though~

Simple objects, nothing more~

But something's hidden through a door~

Though I do not have the key~

Something's there I cannot see~

What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean?~

[He tosses a doll he picked up into Zero's basket]

Hmmm...~

I've read there Christmas books so many times~

I know the stories and I know the rhymes~

I know the Christmas carols all by heart~

My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart~

As often as I've read them, something's wrong~

So hard to put my bony finger on~

Or perhaps it's really not as deep as I've been led to think~

Am I trying much too hard?~

Of course! I've been too close to see~

The answer's right in front of me~

Right in front of me~

It's simple really, very clear~

Like music drifting in the air~

Invisible, but everywhere~

Just because I cannot see it~

Doesn't mean I can't believe it~

You know, I think this Christmas thing is not as tricky as it seems~

And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone~

Not anyone, in fact, but me~

Why, I could make a Christmas tree~

And there's no reason I can find~

I couldn't handle Christmas time~

I bet I could improve it too~

And that's exactly what I'll do~

Hee, hee, hee~

[He bursts his window open as the song ends]

Jack Skellington: Eureka! This year, Christmas will be ours!

Citizens: [cheering]

Irelanders: What?!

Tip: That skeleton has gone mad!

Dash: I was worried this would happen!

Jimmy Z: Anybody wanna say "Uh-oh"?

Applejack: I'll do it. Uh-oh.

Mewtwo: We'd better try to talk him out of it while we still have the chance.

Cruz Ramirez: Yeah but will he listen is the question.

[Later, at the town hall]

Mayor: Patience, everyone. Jack has a special job for each of us. Dr. Finkelstein! Your Christmas assignment is ready! Dr. Finkelstein, to the front of the line!

[Sally has to hide when the doctor comes by looking for her but goes to the front anyway. Jack has given the vampires a baby toy which makes a crying noise]

Baby toy: Wha.

Vampire: What kind of noise is that for a baby to make?

Jack Skellington: Perhaps it can be improved?

Vampires: No problem.

Jack Skellington: I knew it! [to Dr. Finkelstein] Doctor, thank you for coming. We need [shows the Doctor a book with reindeer in it] some of these.

Dr. Finkelstein: Hmm. Their construction should be exceedingly simple, I think.

Mayor: How horrible our Christmas will be.

[Unbeknownst to anyone, Finn in watching from the rafters, having been tasked by Connor to report to them anything he overhears]

Jack Skellington: No, how jolly.

Mayor: [with worried face] Oh, how jolly our Christmas will be. (got hit by objects, turns to see who hit him) What are you doing here?

Lock: Jack sent for us.

Shock: Specifically.

Barrel: By name.

Lock: [takes off his mask] Lock.

Shock: [takes off her mask] Shock.

Barrel: [takes off his mask] Barrel. [licks his lollipop]

Finn McMissile: Hmmm. What would he want them for?

Mayor: Jack! Jack! It's Oogie's boys.

Jack Skellington: Ah, Halloween's finest trick or treaters. The job I have for you is top secret. It requires craft, cunning, mischief.

Shock: And we thought you didn't like us, Jack.

Finn McMissile: Top secret? Not for long.

[He uses his grappling hooks to lower down just enough so he can hear the job]

Jack Skellington: Absolutely no one is to hear about it, not a soul. Now... [whispers]

[Finn listens carefully then gasps at what he's heard. The mayor is trying to listen too but his megaphone is clogged with something. He tries to get it out and eventually does so, the object clogging the megaphone revealed to be his spider bowtie which bites him]

Mayor: Ow!

[He slaps in back on his chest and hits it so it goes back to being still. Jack finishes whispering]

Jack Skellington: And one more thing. [grabs Lock by his costume tail and yanks him back] Leave that no account Oogie Boogie out of this!

Barrel: Whatever you say, Jack.

Shock: Of course, Jack.

Lock: Wouldn't dream of it, Jack.

[The three giggle, with their fingers crossed behind their backs meaning they're gonna do the opposite. They head out. Finn quickly climbs back up to the rafters]

Finn McMissile: I'd better tell the others!

[He set off. Lock, Shock and Barrel exit through the gate and head to their treehouse. Barrel pushes past Lock and Shock as they cross the bridge to the treehouse cage lift as Kidnap the Sandy Claws starts playing]

Lock, Shock, and Barrel: Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?~

[They take off their masks]

Lock: I wanna do it~

Barrel: Let's draw straws!~

[Shock hits the boys with her mask]

Shock: Jack said we should work together~

Barrel: Three of a kid~

Lock: Birds of a feather~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Now and forever! Whee!~

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la~

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la~

Kidnap the Sandy Claws~

Lock him up real tight~

Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights~

Shock: First, we're going to set some bait inside a nasty trap and wait~

When he comes a-sniffing, we will snap the trap and close the gate~

Lock: Wait! I've got a better plan to catch this big red lobster man~

Let's pop him in a boiling pot and when he's done, we'll butter him up~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box~

Bury him for 90 years, then see if he talks~

Shock: Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man...~

Lock and Shock: Can take the whole thing over then~

Lock and Barrel: He'll be so pleased, I do declare~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: That he will cook him rare! Whee!~

[The cage the trio put the bug in lands in Oogie's lair where Oogie himself eats the bug by sucking it in]

Lock: I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door and then~

Knock three times and when he answers, Sandy Claws will be no more!~

Shock: You're so stupid, think now, if we blow him up to smithereens~

And then (with Lock) Jack will beat us black and green~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Kidnap the Sandy Claws~

Tie him in a bag~

Throw him in the ocean then see if he is sad~

Lock and Shock: Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around~

If I were on his boogie list, I'd get out of town~

Barrel: He'll be so pleased by our success~

That he'll reward us too, I'll bet~

Lock and Barrel: Perhaps he'll make his special brew~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Of Snake and Spider stew~

Yum! We're his little henchmen and we take our job with pride~

We do our best to please him and to stay on his good side~

Shock: I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb~

Barrel: I'm not the dumb one~

Lock: You're no fun~

Shock: Shut up!~

Lock: Make me!~

Shock: I've got something, listen now, this one's real good you'll see~

We'll send a present to his door~

Upon there'll be a note to read~

Now, in the box, we'll wait and hide~

Until his curiosity,~

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Entices him to look inside~

And then we'll have him one, two, three~

Kidnap the Sandy Claws~

Beat him with a stick~

Lock him up for 90 years, see what makes him tick~

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits~

Mr. Oogie is sure to get his kicks~

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see~

Lock him in a cage and then throw away the key~

[They head out into the tunnel in their walking bathtub to do what they were tasked with. In Oogie's lair]

Oogie Boogie: Sandy Claws, huh?

Diesel 10: Seems as though our enemies' destruction will be a lot easier than we thought.

Zach Varmitech: I agree. After Donita, Gourmand and my plan for Christmas failed thanks to the Wild Rats, perhaps getting rid of Santa Claus will be perfect for us since none of us like Christmas.

Donita Donata: Not me.

Gourmand: Me neither.

Paisley Paver: I don't care about Christmas in the least.

Robbie Rotten: Yeah, cause after all, we like being bad, even during this holly jolly time of year.

Chick Hicks: Rotten's right. Kidnapping the jolly red guy and getting rid of him will show those Irelanders who they're messing with.

Ripslinger: I agree. That will help us get back at that crop duster and those fools for beating us.

Jackson Storm: So what shall we do now?

Randall Boggs: For now, we wait until Oogie's three henchmen return with the red guy.

Shenzi: Let's see if those kids can do a good job than us, Ned, Zed, Grem and Acer.

Banzai: Yeah and hopefully soon, 'cause I'm so hungry.

Ed: (laughs)

Chet Alexander: Let's see how the big fella likes it when he gets pinched.

Professor Z: Yeah. The project is still on schedule. When Lock, Shock and Barrel return with Santa Claus, we will kill him.

Oogie Boogie: Indeed, Prof. Z, but like Randall said, for now we wait.

[He rolls out two red dice and a snake comes out of one of them as he and the villains laugh evilly. Jack holds a belt with bells on it]

Jack Skellington: It goes something like this. [dings the bells to the tune of Jingle Bells] How about it? Think you can manage?

Guitar: A one and a two and a three...

[The band repeat the tune off key]

Mayor: Next!

Jack Skellington: Fantastic! Now why don't you all practice on that and we'll be great shape. [as Sally and the Irelanders step forward] Sally, I need your help more than anyone's. [to the Irelanders] And Connor, I know how much you and your team want to help but since you are our guests, I'm afraid you're all going to have sit this one out.

Sally: You certainly do, Jack. We had the most terrible vision.

Jack Skellington: That's splendid.

Razer: No, it is not!

Sally: Razer's right. It was about your Christmas. There was smoke and fire.

Jack Skellington: That's not my Christmas. My Christmas is filled with laughter and joy and this. [he rolls a picture of him in a Santa Claus outfit over his Pumpkin King one] My Sandy Claws outfit. I want you to make it.

Sally: Jack, please, listen to us. It's going to be a disaster!

Fireman Sam: Yes, think of the consequences your actions will have on others.

Jack Skellington: How could it be? Just follow the pattern. This part's red, the trim is white.

Sally: It's a mistake, Jack.

Twilight Sparkle: She's right. Hearth's Warming Eve and Nightmare Night don't go together. It's not right.

Jack Skellington: Now, don't be modest, Twilight. Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy Claws outfit?

Mayor: Next.

Jack Skellington: [pushing Sally and the Irelanders aside] I have every confidence in you.

Sally: But it seems wrong to us. Very wrong.

Martin Kratt: Yeah. Mixing holidays is not a good thing.

Koki: Oooh.

[Jack shows Behemoth a Nutcracker]

Jack Skellington: This device is called a Nutcracker.

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Jack! Jack! We got him! We got him!

[The Irelanders are hiding and listening]

The Irelanders: [gasps silently]

Finn McMissile: [quietly] See? I told you.

Melody: [quietly] Jack mixing holidays is bad enough, but kidnapping Santa Claus? Now, that's taking it too far.

Spike: (quietly) They'II be on the Naughty List for sure now.

Maisie Lockwood: (quietly) This isn't fair! Jack is going too far with this. We have to stop him now!

Connor Lacey: (quietly) Talking Jack out of what he's doing is going to be harder than we thought.

Jack Skellington: Perfect. Open it up. Quickly.

[Barrel opens the bag but instead of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny pops out, much to the confusion of Jack and relief of the Irelanders]

The Irelanders: [quietly] Phew.

Connor Lacey: [quietly] They've got the Easter Bunny.

Pinkie Pie: [quietly] Yeah. Uh, what's an Easter Bunny?

Sarah Jones: [quietly] The Easter Bunny is a bunny who delivers eggs on Easter for us to find.

Norman Price: (quietly) Then we do Easter egg hunts to find them. The eggs are all chocolate and chicks are involved in it too.

Fluttershy: (quietly) That's nice. But still kidnapping isn't nice.

Lightning McQueen: (quietly) I should run Jack over for this.

Jack Skellington: That's not Sandy Claws.

Shock: It isn't?

Barrel: Who is it?

[The Easter Bunny hops up to Behemoth]

Behemoth: Bunny.

[Frightened, the Easter Bunny jumps back in the bag]

Jack Skellington: Not Sandy Claws. Take him back.

Lock: We followed your instructions.

Barrel: We went through the door.

Jack Skellington: Which door? There's more than one. [holds up a Christmas tree cookie] Sandy Claws is behind the door that looks like this.

Shock: [grabs Lock by his throat and shakes him] I told you!

[The trio start fighting which annoys Jack to the point where he pulls a scary face and lets out an ear-piercing screech which causes them to stop]

Jack Skellington: [to the Easter Bunny] I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, sir. [to Lock, Shock and Barrel] Take him home first and apologize again. Be careful with Sandy Claws when you fetch him. Treat him nicely.

Lock and Barrel: Got it!

Shock: We'll get it right.

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Next time.

[They head out. At the lab, Dr. Finkelstein is creating something]

Dr. Finkelstein: You will be a chosen improvement over that traitorous Sally.

Igor: Master. The plans.

[He puts the plans for the skeletal reindeer on the table, much to the doctor's delight]

Dr. Finkelstein: Excellent, Igor. [feeds him a biscuit]

[At town hall, a sign is raised with the word Xmas on it to cover the word Halloween. The residents get ready to get started on making toys while Sally makes the outfit and the Irelanders make a plan to stop Jack as Making Christmas starts playing]

Chorus: This time, this time~

Ghosts: Making Christmas~

Band member: Making Christmas~

Mayor: Making Christmas, making Christmas is so fine~

Citizens: It's ours this time and won't the children be surprised?~

It's ours this time~

Corpse Kid: Making Christmas~

Mummy: Making Christmas~

Mummy and Corpse Kid: Making Christmas~

Witches: Time to give them something fun~

Witches and Undersea Gal: They'll talk about for years to come~

Citizens: Let's have a cheer for everyone~

Devil: It's time to party!~

Vampires: Making Christmas~

Vampires and Duck: Making Christmas~

Vampires: Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice~

With spider legs and pretty bows~

Winged Demon: It's ours this time~

Citizens: All together, that and this~

With all our tricks, we're making Christmas time~

Werewolf: (spoken) Here comes Jack!

Jack Skellington: I don't believe what's happening to me~

My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies!~

Hee-hee-hee~

Harlequin Demon: Won't they be impressed? I am a genius~

See how I transform this old rat into a most delightful hat~

Jack Skellington: Hmm, my compliments from me to you~

On this, your most intriguing hat~

But consider though this substitute~

A bat in place of this old rat~

No, no, no, that's all wrong~

This thing will never make a present~

It's been dead for much too long~

Try something fresher, something pleasant~

Try again, don't give up~

Three Mr. Hydes: All together, that and this~

With all our tricks we're making Christmas time~

[The days swiftly passes as both Christmas and Halloween town quickly work to get the job done. During all this, the Irelanders are still making their plan]

Fireman Sam: [pointing to a cannon] ...we may have no choice but to shoot him down, understood?

Irelanders: Yes, Sam.

[The sleigh is being built in Halloween Town]

Chorus: This time, this time~

Jack Skellington: It's ours!~

Citizens: Making Christmas, Making Christmas~

La-la-la~

It's almost here and we can't wait~

So ring the bells and celebrate~

Cause when the full moon starts to climb, we'll all sing out!~

Jack Skellington: It's Christmas time!~

Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!~

[The skeletal reindeer appears as the countdown clock reaches 1. In Christmas Town, Santa Claus is checking his list for the final time]

Santa Claus: Kathleen, Bobby, Susie, yes, Susie's been nice. Nice, nice, naughty, nice, nice, nice. There are hardly any naughty children this year. [hears the doorbell] Now who could that be?

[Santa goes to answer the door and opens it. He finds Lock, Shock and Barrel there]

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Trick or treat!

[They pounce on Santa and put him in their bag. Back in Halloween Town, Sally is putting the finishing touches to Jack's outfit while Jack admires himself in the mirror]

Sally: You don't look like yourself, Jack. Not at all.

Rarity: Although your outfit is divine, darling, this is still the wrong thing to do. Holidays aren't supposed to be mixed together.

Jack Skellington: Isn't that wonderful? It couldn't be more wonderful.

Sally: But you're the Pumpkin King. [unrolls the Jack Santa Claus picture and shows it to him]

Jack Skellington: Not anymore. [breaks the picture] And I feel so much better now.

Sally: Jack, I know you think something's missing, but... [accidentally pricks him with the needle]

Jack Skellington: Ow!

Sally: Sorry.

Jack Skellington: You're right. Something is missing. But what? I've got the beard, the coat, the boots, the belt...

Lock, Shock and Barrel: Jack! Jack! This time we bagged him!

Irelanders: [gasps]

Lock: This time we really did.

Barrel: He sure is big, Jack.

Shock: And heavy.

Santa Claus: [as they open the bag for everyone to see him] Let me out!

[The citizens back up, startled]

Jack Skellington: [gasps] Sandy Claws. In person. [shakes his hand] How pleasant to meet you. Why you have hands. You don't have claws at all.

Violet Parr: That's what we told you! Let him go right now!

Santa Claus: Where am I?

Jack Skellington: Surprised, aren't you? I knew you would be. You don't need to have another worry about Christmas this year.

Santa Claus: [stammering]

Jack Skellington: Consider this a vacation, Sandy. A reward. It's your turn to take it easy.

Santa Claus: But there must be some mistake.

Jack Skellington: Make sure he's comfortable. Uh, just a second, fellas. Of course! That's what I'm missing! [takes Santa's hat]

Santa Claus: But...

Jack Skellington: Thanks.

Santa Claus: You can't just... [Lock, Shock and Barrel close the bag on him] Hold on! Where are we going now?

Razer: [growls] That's it! [goes to fire his ring at Jack]

Jack Skellington: Ho, ho, ho!

Raven Queen: [grabs Razer] Razer, don't!

Sally: This is worse than we thought, Irelanders. Much worse. [gets an idea] I know. Come with me.

Connor Lacey: Okay, Sally. Come on, guys. [to Razer] In the meantime, Razer, follow Lock, Shock and Barrel and see where they're taking Santa. If you see anything concerning, let us know.

Razer: Understood.

[Razer flew after the trio but stayed out of sight]

Santa Claus: Me? Take a vacation? On Christmas Eve?

Barrel: Where are we taking him?

Shock: Where?

Lock: To Oogie Boogie and friends of course! And there's no place in the world more comfortable than that and Jack did say to make him comfortable, didn't he?

Shock and Barrel: Yes he did.

Santa Claus: Haven't you hear about peace on Earth and good will towards men?

Lock, Shock and Barrel: NO! (cackling)

[Meanwhile, Sally and the Irelanders grab a jug of Fog Juice]

Koki: What is that stuff?

Sally: It's Fog Juice. It has the ability to create fog. It will stop Jack. I'm sure.

Connor Lacey: Well, we did make a plan of our own and if it doesn't work, we will have no choice but to shoot Jack out of the sky. You do know that right?

Sally: I understand. Now, let's get going.

[They head out, passing Dr. Finkelstein who is continuing his creation on the way. While he's distracted they sneak by]

Dr. Finkelstein: What a joy to think of all we have in common. [puts half his brain in the creation's head] We'll have conversations worth having.

[He kisses the creation's half of his brain when the lid closes on his mouth, trapping it. At the treehouse, Razer flies up to the window]

Razer: Jack chose to mess with the wrong people.

Lock, Shock and Barrel: [cackling]

Santa Claus: Don't do this! Naughty children never get any presents!

Shock: I think he might be too big!

Santa Claus: Ooh!

Lock: No he's not. He can go down a chimney, he can go... in... here!

Santa Claus: [screaming]

[Santa slides down the chute into Oogie's lair. Razer watches]

Razer: Hmm. Where does that chute lead to?

[He sneaks in through a gap in the tree stump and hides to avoid detection. He watches Santa fall out of the chute and onto a gambling table. The lair lights up around him like a casino. Two doors opens and dice roll out bouncing off his beard. Oogie and the villains arrives as Oogie Boog's Song start playing. Razer gasps silently]

Razer: [gasps silently]

Oogie Boogie: Well, well, well~

What have we here?~

Sandy Claws, huh?~

Ooh, I'm really scared~

So you're the one everybody's talking about?~

Ha, ha, ha, ha!~

You're jokin', you're jokin', we can't believe our eyes~

You're jokin' us, you gotta be, this can't be the right guy~

He's ancient, he's ugly, we don't know which is worse~

I might just split a seam if I don't die laughin' first~

When Mr. Oogie Boogie says~

There's trouble close at hand~

You'd better pay attention now~

Cause I'm the Boogie Man~

And if you aren't shakin', there's something very wrong~

Cause this may be the last time you hear the Boogie Song~

Oh-whoa-oh~

Skeletons: Whoa-oh!~

Oogie Boogie: Whoa-oh~

Skeletons: Whoa-oh~

Oogie Boogie: Whoa-oh!~

Bats: Whoa-oh~

Oogie Boogie and Chorus: I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man!~

Santa Claus: Release me now or you must face the dire consequences~

The children are expecting me so please come to your senses~

Oogie Boogie: Ha, you're jokin', you're jokin'~

We can't believe our ears~

Would someone shut this fella up~

We're drownin' in our tears~

It's funny, we're laughin'~

You really are too much~

And now, with your permission,~

We're going to do our stuff~

Santa Claus: What are you going to do?

Oogie Boogie: We're gonna do the best we can.

Whoa!~

The sound of rolling dice to me is music in the air~

Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie man although I don't play fair~

It's much more fun we must confess when lives are on the line~

Not ours, of course, but yours, old boy~

Now that'd be just fine~

Santa Claus: Release me fast or you shall have to answer for this heinous act~

Oogie Boogie: Oh brother, you're somethin'!~

You put us in a spin~

You aren't comprehending~

The position that you're in~

It's hopeless, you're finished~

You haven't got a prayer~

Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie~

And you ain't goin' nowhere~

[Oogie and the villains cackle evilly. Upon hearing them, Lock, Shock and Barrel do the same. Back in Halloween, the Citizens are playing Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Sally and the Irelanders hurry over to the fountain]

Fireman Sam: Better make our move while there's still time.

Sally: [uncorking the bottle] You read my mind, Sam.

[She pours the Fog Juice into the fountain and fog starts to pour out. The song ends and Jack comes out of the coffin sleigh, causing the crowd to cheer and gather. The Mayor grabs a speech as the fog continues to spread and thicken]

Mayor: Think of us as you soar triumphantly through the sky outshining every star. Your silhouette a dark blot on the moon, you who are our pride, you who are our glory, you who have frightened billions into an early grave. You who have eh, devastated the souls of the living...

Jack Skellington: Oh, no! We can't take off in weather like this! The reindeer can't see a thing in front of their noses.

Sally: Phew.

Connor Lacey: We did it. And just in time.

Aviva Corcovado: Maybe now, Jack will see reason.

Vampire: This fog is as thick as... as...

Cyclops: Jelly brains!

Vampire 2: Thicker!

Jack Skellington: There go all of my hopes, my precious plans, my glorious dreams.

Corpse child: [crying] There goes Christmas.

Ron Stoppable: I'm glad we got here in time to avert disaster.

Mewtwo: Me too. Otherwise, we would have no choice but to [whispering] you know what.

Elvis Cridlington: (whispering) Uh, to do what?

Station Officer Steele: (whispering) Tell the government to shoot Jack down, Cridlington.

Elvis Cridlington: Oh, right.

Zero: (barking)

Jack Skellington: No, Zero. Now what? (notices Zero's nose) My what a brilliant nose you have. The better to light my way! To the head of the team, Zero!

Irelanders: What?!

[Zero goes to the front of the reindeer line. The crowd cheers]

Jack Skellington: We're off!

[The sleigh, Zero and Jack take off into the sky]

Sally: Wait, Jack! No!

[The crowd cheers and Jack flies away laughing happily. The crowd disperses and Sally looks down sadly]

Sally: Goodbye, Jack. My dearest Jack. Oh, how I hope our premonition was wrong.

Connor Lacey: (remembering Rudolph's glowing red nose in dismay) Of course, I forgot Zero's nose could glow in the dark. You know what must be done now.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: I'll alert the government immediately.

Connor Lacey: Good. We'll be back soon, Sally. Razer followed Lock, Shock and Barrel to find out where they took Santa. You know what to do should you get in trouble while trying to rescue him. Have Razer come and get us.

Sally: Of course, Connor. I understand why you have to do this. Be careful.

[Connor nods and the Irelanders head off in one direction while Sally heads in another. The song Sally's Song starts playing as she continues to trace Razer's footsteps]

Sally: I sense there's something in the wind~

That feels like tragedy's at hand~

And though I'd like to stand by him~

Can't shake this feeling that I have~

The worst is just around the bend~

And does he notice my feelings for him?~

And will he see how much he means to me?~

I think it's not to be~

What will become of my dear friend?~

Where will his actions lead us then?~

And though I'd like to join the crowd~

In their enthusiastic cloud~

Try as I may, it doesn't last~

And will we ever end up together?~

No, I think not~

It's never to become~

For I am not the one~

[The song ends. Meanwhile, Jack soars through sky on his sleigh. Seeing a town he descends laughing happily. They land on the roof of a house, waking a boy.]

Boy: [gasps] Santa?

[Grabbing a sack, Jack jumps down the chimney, landing the fireplace. The boy runs downstairs and sees Jack putting present under his tree. He walks over to him]

Jack Skellington: Merry Christmas! And what is your name?

Boy: Uh... uh...

Jack Skellington: That's alright. I have a special present for you anyway. [hands the boy a present] There you go, sonny. [laughs as he climbs back up the chimney just as the father and mother come down]

Mommy: And what did Santa bring you honey?

[The boy holds up a shrunken head causing his parents to scream]

Jack Skellington: Merry Christmas!

[Connor is watching from the window. He turns on his earpiece]

Connor Lacey: Boyce, you've got to make that phone call now!

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: [typing a number into a phone] Way ahead of you.

[A policeman answer his call]

Policeman: Hello?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: A skeleton is on the loose impersonating Santa Claus. Helpless children are being attacked by their toys. You must have the military shoot him down this minute.

Policeman: Attacked by Xmas toys? That's strange. That's the second toy complaint we've had. But don't worry, we'll have the military take him down no problem. Bye.

[Boyce hangs up]

Jack Skellington: [laughing]

[The citizens of Halloween Town cheer at their success. Jack continuously gives children toys which attack them. All lights, windows, doors, fireplaces and so on all shut or turn up or off]

Jack Skellington: You're welcome, one and all!

Policeman: Where'd you spot him? Fast as we can, ma'am. Police. I know, I know a skeleton. Keep calm. Turn off all the lights. Make sure the doors are Locked. Hello, police.

Newscaster: Reports are pouring in from all over the globe that an impostor is shamelessly impersonating Santa Claus, mocking and mangling this joyous holiday.

Citizens: [cheering]

Newscaster: Police assure us that at this moment, the esteemed Chief Fire Officer Boyce has order military units to mobilize to stop the perpetrator of this heinous crime.

Sally: Jack! Someone has to help Jack!

[Razer flies up to her]

Razer: Sally! You must come with me! I know where they took Santa!

Sally: Okay.

Newscaster: ...come back and save Christmas?

[At a military base, sirens go off and lights turn on, pinpointing Jack in the sky]

Jack Skellington: Look, Zero, searchlights!

[Cannons are raised and fired at Jack]

Fireman Sam: Sorry, Jack. But you've left us no choice.

Jack Skellington: They're celebrating. They're thanking us for doing such a good job.

[A shot nearly hits Zero]

Jack Skellington: Whoa! Careful down there! You almost hit us!

Zero: (barking)

Jack Skellington: It's okay, Zero! Head higher!

[Zero obeys and leads the sleigh higher into the sky. Back in Oogie's Lair]

Oogie Boogie: [picking up red dice] Are you a gambler man, Sandy. Let's play!

Ed: (gibberish and pointing to the door]

Shenzi: What, Ed?

Banzai: Hey, did we invited some guests over?

Shenzi: No, why?

Banzai: 'Cause there's a leg at the door!

[They look to see one of Sally's legs sticking out of the door]

Oogie Boogie: My oh my. What have we here?

Jackson Storm: We'd better go check it out.

[They head over to the leg. Sally's hands slide down the rope and start to untie Santa. Sally and Razer appear in the window]

Sally: [quietly] We will get you out of here!

Razer: [quietly] Move quickly, they'll be turning around any minute!

[Oogie and the villains examine Sally's leg]

Oogie Boogie: Ah, lovely. Tickle, tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Sally finishes untying Santa. But just then, however, her leg comes out of the door causing the villains to realize they were tricked]

Acer: It's a trick!

Oogie Boogie: What?! You trying to make a dupe out of us?!

Diesel 10: If you think you can escape that easily, you've got another thing coming! Get them!

[Oogie starts to inhale Sally and Santa toward him]

Sally: Whoa!

Razer: No! I better tell Connor and the others! They're probably with Jack by now! [flies off]

[Meanwhile, Jack is still flying]

Jack Skellington: Who's next on my list. Ah, little Harry and Jordan. Won't they be surprised?

Norman Price: Not if we can help it. (chuckles)

Spud The Scarecrow: Ready?! [aims a searchlight at the sleigh] Aim! Fire!

[The cannons fire at the sleigh hitting one of the skeletal reindeer and the trash can at the back]

Jack Skellington: They are trying to hit us! Zero!

Zero: (barking)

[Lightning and Dusty aim their own cannon]

Lightning McQueen: We're sorry, Jack.

Dusty Crophopper: But this is what it has come to. Fire!

[They fire the cannon and it hits the sleigh, destroying it and sending it plummeting]

Jack Skellington: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night....

[The sleigh plummets into a cemetery]

Lightning McQueen: [into his radio] Connor, we got him.

Connor Lacey: Good job, guys. Meet me in the cemetery he fell into.

[Meanwhile in Halloween Town, the citizens have seen everything and are sad, thinking Jack has been killed]

Werewolf: [howling mournfully]

Mayor: (with white face) I knew this Xmas thing was a bad idea. I felt it in my gut. [gets into his car and drives away announcing Jack's supposed demise] Terrible news folks. The worst tragedy of our times. Jack has been blown to smithereens. Terrible, terrible news.

[Meanwhile, a cop drives a car down the street giving the same news]

Policeman: Attention. Attention, citizens. Terrible news. There is still no sign of Santa Claus. Although the imposter has been shot down, it looks like Christmas will have to be canceled this year. I repeat, the imposter has been shot down but there is still no sign....

[In the cemetery, Jack lies on a statue as the Irelanders arrive, Zero giving him his jaw bone]

Zero: (whimpering)

Connor Lacey: We thought we might find you here, Jack.

Rarity: Apologies about the outfit, darling. But we simply could not let this madness continue.

[Jack puts his jaw bone back in place and sits up]

Jack Skellington: Irelanders. I... I'm so sorry. I never intended for this to happen.

Fireman Sam: We're sorry, Jack, but we had no choice. This is what happens when you mix holidays. Christmas and Halloween aren't meant to go together.

Aviva Corcovado: And you terrified millions of innocent people. You really hurt everyone's feelings and now, Christmas is cancelled because of you!

Norman Price: Guess a skeleton like you hasn't got the intelligence to know that since you're, well, dead.

Spike: Those people could have gotten killed! You really shouldn't have gone through with this!

Jack Skellington: You're right. I should've listened to you.

[The song Poor Jack starts playing]

Jack Skellington: What have I done? What have I done?~

How could I be so blind?~

All is lost, where was I?~

Spoiled all, spoiled all~

Everything's gone all wrong~

What have I done?~

What have I done?~

Find a deep cave to hide in~

In a million years they'll find me~

Only dust and a plague~

That reads "Here lies Poor Old Jack!"~

But I never intended all this madness~

Never~

And nobody really understood~

Well, how could they?~

That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great~

Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?~

Well, what the heck, I went and did my best~

And by God, I really tasted something swell~

And for a moment why I even touched the sky~

And at least I left some stories they can tell~

I did!~

And for the first time since~

I don't remember when~

I felt just like my old boney self again~

And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King~

That's right, I am the Pumpkin King!~

Ha, ha, ha, ha~

Connor Lacey: Now that's the Jack Skellington we know!

Irelanders: [cheering]

Jack Skellington: And I just can't wait until next Halloween~

Cause I've got some new ideas that will really make them scream~

And by God, I'm really going to give it all my might~

[realizing something] Uh-oh~

I hope there's still time to set things right~

[gasps] Sandy Claws. Hmmm....~

[The song ends. Razer comes out of the gravestone out of breath]

Razer: [panting] Guys! Lock, Shock and Barrel took Santa to Oogie Boogie and our enemies! They're planning to eat him in a stew! Sally and I tried to rescue him but they found out we were tricking them and captured her too!

Irelanders: What?!

Connor Lacey: What enemies is it this time?

Razer: Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, Grem, Acer, Chick Hicks, Professor Z, Jackson Storm, Diesel 10, Zach Varmitech, Ripslinger, Ned, Zed, Donita Donata, Paisley Paver, Rex, Dabio, Gourmand, Randall, Roar Omega Roar and Robbie Rotten.

Kim Possible: We have to rescue them!

Jack Skellington: She's right. Come on!

[They enter the gravestone. Back in Oogie's lair]

Sally: You wait till Jack hears about this! By the time he's through with you, you'll be lucky you...

Mayor: The king of Halloween has been blown to smithereens. Skeleton Jack is now a pile of dust.

Sally: [gasps]

Zach Varmitech: You were saying, ragdoll?

Ripslinger: Without that stupid skeleton around, we will finally have our victory!

Diesel 10: And when it happens, you and all those Irelanders will be history.

Robbie Rotten: Besides, none of us ever care about Christmas because we like being bad, even during this time of year. To us, it's good to be bad. Allow us to explain in song form.

[The song Good to be Bad starts playing]

Robbie Rotten: They want us to be nice~

They want us to be good~

Zach Varmitech: But we're simple rotten guys~

Who're just misunderstood~

Diesel 10: They say that we should change~

And wear a perky smile~

Chick Hicks: But smiling make our faces hurt~

And happiness is vile~

Jackson Storm: They want us to give up the only life we've ever had~

But it's so good to be bad...~

Ripslinger: It's good to be bad~

It's great to be a crook~

Gourmand: It's nice to be a villain like you read about in books~

It's swell to be nasty~

Robbie Rotten: It's keen to be so mean~

Diesel 10: Yes, we're extraordinary nastiness machines~

It's good to be bad~

Zach Varmitech: They think we should be friends~

With everyone in town~

Chick Hicks: But we'll never stop trying~

To get rid of Connor and his team~

Ha-ha~

Gourmand: To be an evil baddie is a thrill and let me add~

It's so good to be bad!~

Banzai: It's good to be bad~

It's great to be a crook~

Professor Z: It's nice to be a villain like you read about in books~

It's swell to be nasty~

Gourmand: It's keen to be so mean~

Yes, we're extraordinary nastiness machines~

Robbie Rotten: (singing through a microphone) It's good to be bad~

It's great to be a crook~

It's nice to be a villain like you read about in books~

Zach Varmitech: It's swell to be nasty~

It's keen to be so mean~

Diesel 10: Yes, we're extraordinary nastiness machines~

Robbie Rotten: It's good to be bad~

Wowah! We feel bad! Haha!~

Santa Claus: To think I went through the trouble of letting Stingy give you a present despite you've been naughty all year because of your villain deeds one Christmas ago. Also, it's bad that you dress up as me to ruin Christmas for LazyTown.

Robbie Rotten: Whatever. That doesn't matter. I'm a villain and I like being one.

Shenzi: Yeah. So shut up you big mouth while we get Oogie's plan over with.

Randall Boggs: And perhaps the Irelanders will be next after you two. (chuckles)

[Meanwhile, Jack, Zero and the Irelanders arrive back in Halloween Town via gravestone]

Jack Skellington: Come on, everyone! Christmas isn't over yet!

Connor Lacey: You heard him, guys! Move it!

[They run through the pumpkin patch. Back in Oogie's lair]

Oogie Boogie: What's that you were saying about luck, ragdoll?

Johnny Worthington: Enjoy your last moments while it lasts, girl. After you're gone, no one will remember you, not even your creator.

Chet Alexander: Oh, snap!

[Meanwhile, Jack, Zero and the Irelanders run through the pumpkin patch and towards the treehouse. They find the bridge is broken]

Mater: Dadgum, the bridge is out. How are we supposed to get across now?

Chug: Wait, anyone hear that?

Sally: Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!

Applejack: That's Sally calling for help no doubt. And unless my ears deceive me, it's coming from down there.

Fireman Sam: She's right. That must Oogie's lair. Come on.

Jack Skellington: Ssh.

[They climb down a rope. In the lair]

Oogie Boogie: Certainly, like it's Oogie's turn to boogie.

Sally: [screams]

Oogie Boogie: (while moving the platform they're on further up] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... (evil cackles)

Sally: Help!

[Jack, Zero and the Irelanders sneak into the lair unnoticed]

Oogie Boogie: Oh, no. This can't be happening. Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.

Donita Donata: This was just too easy.

Paisley Paver: Yeah. No hope left for them now.

Oogie Boogie: I'm feeling weak... with hunger! One more throw of the dice ought to do it!

[He throws the dice again only to end up landing on Snake Eyes]

Oogie Boogie: What?! Snake Eyes?!

[He bang his fist on the table to make the dice show 11]

Oogie Boogie: 11! (cackles) Looks like we caught the jackpot! Bye bye, Dollface and Sandman!

Sally: [screaming]

[Santa and Sally slide off the platform but no sound of splashing can be heard]

Oogie Boogie: (confused why there's no splash sound) What the...

[They lift the platform which now has Jack and the Irelanders on it, much to Oogie's shock]

Oogie Boogie: (gasps)

Jack Skellington: Hello, Oogie.

Oogie Boogie: Jack, but they said you were dead.

Zach Varmitech: Wild Rats?!

Chris and Martin Kratt: Wild Kratts!

Chick Hicks: But how did he survive?

Twilight Sparkle: Haven't you heard? Skeletons can put themselves back together.

Donita Donata: Are skeletons supposed to be dead or something?

Maisie Lockwood: Some yes. But Jack, well, Jack's different.

Diesel 10: It's been quite sometime since our encounter back in London.

Fireman Sam: Yes, Diesel 10, it has. And what you're doing is unacceptable.

Zach Varmitech: Well, actually, we don't care. We villains like to do evil deeds as we want without heroes intervening and none of us like Christmas.

Gourmand: Yeah, not ever since The Wild Kratts foiled our plans for Christmas sometime ago before you Irelanders came along.

Chris Kratt: Well, we're gonna foil this one too.

Fluttershy: Also, The Wild Kratts told us about you did that Christmas like using baby animals as decorations for your robot tree. That's so cruel!

Connor Lacey: Not to mention leaving them marooned on a ice float.

Zach Varmitech: Who cares? We were sick and tired to them always foiling our plans to use animals for our inventions, fashion designs and meals many times. The least thing they should do is stay out of our way and let us do our evil plans in peace and so should you.

Spike: That'll never happen while we're still around.

Johnny Worthington: No way we're gonna lose to losers like you again.

Violet Parr: We're not losers, Johnny. You've done enough bullying for a lifetime!

Melody: Not to mention that Mike eventually works at Monster's Inc as Sulley's former Scare assistant now a laugh collector ever since laughter was proven more powerful than scream which solves the energy crisis.

Connor Lacey: (to Oogie Boogie) And you must be Oogie Boogie that Jack told us about.

Norman Price: Ha. You're just a talking sack. Not scary at all.

Spud The Scarecrow: Yeah. That is pathetic. (laughs)

Twilight Sparkle: Guys, this is not a laughing matter. If you wanna eat Santa you'll have to go through us first!

Oogie Boogie: Oh, really now? Well, then, you must all be double dead!

[He activates cards which spin blades over their heads]

Ron Stoppable: Waargh!

Koki: Stay down! The blades can't touch you if you keep your head low!

[Jack and the Irelanders duck to avoid the blades]

Oogie Boogie: Come on, Bone Man and friends!

Gourmand: Yeah, or you'II be shish kabob! (chuckles)

Zero: (barking)

[Jack jumps athletically over the blades followed by the Irelanders toward Oogie and the villains]

Shenzi: They're getting closer!

Oogie Boogie: Oooh. Ha!

[He pulls a chain down and as the cards lower down, three leprechauns with guns come out]

Irelanders: (gasp)

Oogie Boogie: Fire!

[The leprechauns fire at Jack and the Irelanders but they jump up on top of the guns and run on them. Oogie scowls at first but then saw that he's heading straight for his leprechauns. He tries to run away but only in one place on his gambling table. He jumps up and hit the two eyeballs on the skull causing a spinning blade to fall towards Jack and the Irelanders that Sally notices]

Sally: Guys, look out!

[Thankfully, the Irelanders and Jack see the blade coming and jump off the guns as the blade slices through them. They land in front of Oogie who stand on a platform which launches him towards the stew mixer and lands on it]

Oogie Boogie: [cackles] So long, Jack! [laughs]

Jack Skellington: [grabbing a loose thread from Oogie and starts pulling it] How dare you treat my friends so shamefully?!

[Oogie looks horrified as his arm starts to open. Jack attached the thread to the mixture so that Oogie's entire sack body comes off, causing the Irelanders and the villains to recoil in disgust]

Oogie Boogie: No! Look at what you've done! [as his bugs start to fall off one by one killing him] My bugs! My bugs!

[Oogie continues to say that sentence as his bugs fall into the stew. His brain bug attempts to crawl away but Santa steps on it, finally shutting Oogie up]

Connor Lacey: Finally, that's him dealt with.

Rarity: Yeah, though it's so revolting to learn that he's a sack filled with bugs. Eeew.

Kim Possible: Yeah, disgusting.

Diesel 10: It's not fair! We were so close to get rid of you Irelanders. Now, I'II never replace all the steamies with the diesels.

Fireman Sam: And you never will. So long as they have Sir Topham Hatt to protect them.

Diesel 10: I don't think so. I'II get rid of them one of these days.

Station Officer Steele: Stay right where you are!

Diesel 10: (laughs) Make me! (laughs)

[He rolls away]

Zach Varmitech: I'II get you next time, Wild Rats!

Donita Donata: Me too!

Gourmand: I'II sniff you down!

Paisley Paver: Stay outta my way!

[The four villains left]

Randall Boggs: I'II get back at you fools one day, especially you, Violet Parr.

[He slithers away]

Johnny Worthington: Til next time we cross paths again, not cool losers.

[The ROR left]

Chick Hicks: We'II be back for you, McQueen.

Jackson Storm: Yeah. We'll make sure that Next Gens replace veteran racers once and for all one day, then you'll be sorry!

[They zoom off]

Ripslinger: I'II see to it that you'II never race again, Crophopper.

[He files off with Ned and Zed]

Professor Z: Let's get outta here. We'II be back for more revenge next time.

Grem and Acer: Right behind ya, professor!

[They zoom off]

Robbie Rotten: Boo.

[The Irelanders glared. Robbie stands up, snarls and storms off]

Banzai: (chuckles nervously) Toodles.

[The hyenas ran off, whimpering]

Twilight Sparkle: Phew. Glad that's over with.

Chris Kratt: Yeah. And I think someone has an apology to make.

Jack Skellington: Forgive me, Mr Claus. (pulling out Santa's hat) I'm afraid I've made a terrible mess of your holiday.

Santa Claus: Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack? The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to [gesturing to Sally and the Irelanders] them! They're the only ones who make any sense around this insane asylum! Skeletons....

Jack Skellington: I hope there's still time...

Santa Claus: To fix Christmas? Of course there is, I'm Santa Claus!

[He puts a finger in his nose and flies up the chute he fell through earlier]

Spike: How does he do that?

Koki: We may never know, Spike.

Sally: He'll fix things, Jack. He knows what to do.

Jack Skellington: How did you get down here, Sally?

Sally: Oh, I wanted to...

Jack Skellington: To help me.

Sally: I couldn't just let you just...

Jack Skellington: Sally, I cannot believe you...

[Just then, a light shines on them]

Mayor: Jack! Jack!

Barrel: Jack!

Lock: There he is! Alive!

Shock: Just like we said!

Mayor: [throwing a ladder down] Grab hold my boy!

[Jack grabs the ladder and he, Sally and the Irelanders are hoisted up. Meanwhile, a news report happens as Santa goes around replacing Halloween toys with real none animated ones]

News woman: Great news, folks! Santa Claus, the one and only has finally been spotted. Old St. Nick appears to be traveling at supersonic speed. He's setting things right, bringing joy and cheer wherever he goes. Yes folks, Kris Kringle has pulled it out of the bag and delivered Xmas to excited children all over the world!

[We cut back to Halloween Town where various Halloween citizens are waking up and hearing about Jack being alive as the finale starts playing]

Chorus: La, la, la (repeat)

Jack's okay, and he's back! Oh, yay!~

Child corpse and chorus: He's all right~

Mayor: Let's shout, make a fuss~

Scream it out, wheee!~

Citizens: Jack is back now, everybody sing~

In our town of Halloween~

Jack Skellington: It's great to be home!

Frozone/Lucius Best: Look up there!

Santa Claus: Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy Halloween!

[As Santa flies over the town, it starts to snow. Jack waves Santa goodbye]

Jack Skellington: Merry Christmas!

Connor Lacey: Goodbye, Santa!

Norman Price: Hey, wait! What about our presents?

Spud The Scarecrow: You forgot about us!

Twilight Sparkle: Guys, we told you. You'll have to wait until he reaches your respective locations.

Norman Price and Spud The Scarecrow: Aww.

[The citizens are fascinated by the snow]

Corpse Kid: What's this?~

Cyclops: What's this?~

Harlequin Demon: I haven't got a clue~

Mr. Hyde: What's this?~

Clown: Why it's completely new~

Offscreen Voice: What's this?~

Werewolf: Must be a Christmas thing~

Offscreen Voice: What's this?~

Mayor: It's really very strange...~

[He catches a snowflake with his tongue and his face changes from worried to happy. The vampires play ice hockey with a pumpkin head. Zombie and the sea monster make snow angels as the song continues]

Chorus: This is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

What's this? What's this?~ (Repeat)

[Sally picks up a flower. Jack got hit by snowballs and looked to Lock, Shock and Barrel who hide behind a fountain. A bat pushes a mummy child on the snow under Jack just as Dr. Finkelstein arrives with his new creation, a female version of himself named Jewel]

Dr. Finkelstein: Careful now, my precious Jewel.

Ron Stoppable: Hey, where's Sally?

Sally (Cars): You mean the rag doll?

Ron Stoppable: Yeah.

The Mask: I think I know where she went.

[Jack and the Irelanders look to Sally heading through the main gate and follow her. Sally sits on a snow covered Spiral Hill and starts picking the petals off the flower when she hears Jack singing behind her]

Jack Skellington: My dearest friend, if you don't mind~

I'd like to join you by your side~

Where we can gaze into the stars~

Jack and Sally: And sit together now and forever~

For it is plain as anyone could see~

We're simply meant to be~

[They look at each other lovingly as the Irelanders watch]

Melody: Aw. That's so sweet.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. [gets an idea] Jack? Sally? How would you and Zero like to join the Irelanders for further adventures?

Jack Skellington: That would be marvelous. But can we at least tell the others where we'll be first?

Twilight Sparkle: Of course, Jack. We'II let them know where you're going to be.

Zero: (barks)

Chris Kratt: Relax, Zero. Everything will be fine.

Martin Kratt: Welcome to the Irelanders, Jack, Sally and Zero.

Sally: Thank you, very much.

Fireman Sam: This is going to be very good indeed.

Maisie Lockwood: Yeah. Let's leave Jack and Sally to do their romantic moment for a while before we tell the Mayor.

Connor Lacey: Okay.

[Sally and Jack proceed to kiss as Zero flies around the moon and shines a blue light above. Soon, the Irelanders are telling the residents about what Jack, Sally and Zero will be doing]

Mayor: We will miss you three. Be sure to be back in time for next Halloween. You are our Pumpkin King.

Jack Skellington: Don't worry, Mayor. We'll always come home around Halloween time.

Connor Lacey: We'll be sure to keep you up to date on what's happening.

Mayor: Thank you, Connor. You're free to stop by Halloween Town any time you like.

Twilight Sparkle: I know we've only been friends for a short amount of time and we will miss you all so very much.

Irelanders: Yeah. Bye.

Halloween Town people: Bye! Come again soon!

[The Irelanders set off with Jack, Sally and Zero. Later in the Tortuga]

Jack Skellington: So, where are we going now, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Hmm. Perhaps go back to the deep dark wood to see Mouse and The Gruffalo again.

Chris Kratt: Sure. We haven't been there in a while. I heard he recently had a child.

Koki: A child?

Martin Kratt: How do you know that, bro?

Chris Kratt: Let's just say a little bird told me.

Martin Kratt: That can helps us learn more about Gruffalos so that we can make a gruffalo power disc.

Aviva Corcovado: Good idea, Martin. That would be helpful.

Twilight Sparkle: And we can pick up Ash and his friends along the way too.

James Jones: I hope that The Gruffalo doesn't try to harm us again like last time.

Maisie Lockwood: Don't worry, James. I'm sure he's matured since then.

James Jones: I hope so.

Jack Skellington: Well, we might as well get going.

Fireman Sam: Of course. Prepare for take off, Jimmy.

Jimmy Z: Tortuga time. (he went into the cockpit and put on his headset) Next stop, the deep dark wood and fly.

[The Tortuga rose into the sky and flew away from the Hinterlands. In his lair, Robbie sat sulky in his orange lounge chair til he heard a hooting noise, startling him]

Robbie Rotten: What was that?

[He put a hand to his ear and followed the noise. An owl sits on the cover of Robbie's chute entrance as Robbie raises it up. He climb out and down the stairs before lower it down to close the chute, though it shut on his hand, making him yelp with pain and drag it out. When he saw the owl, he yells with fright and ran off]

Robbie Rotten: Aaah!

[He ran all the way from his lair to a castle. Panting out of breath in relief, he lean against the castle with his hand, accidentally tipping it to one side]

Robbie Rotten: Uh-oh.

[He quietly tip-toed away from the castle and back to his lair. The screen fades to black before changing over to Connor standing with Jack Skellington and Zero outside in the Hinterlands]

Connor Lacey: Well, folks, that's all for now but we'll be right back as we meet the Gruffalo's Child for the first time in "The Irelanders meet The Gruffalo's Child".

Jack Skellington: See you there.

Zero: [barking]

[They wave as the screen fades to black]
