This is the exact moment where I stop visiting to this site…
Agree. After the Calvin/FTSK one, I should have known better than to come back.
that’s why i just vote “awful” and move on. that way i can still view the ones i find funny and then pay the idiots back
same!
Its meant to be him…the caterpillar in James and the Giant Peach actually calls him ‘Skellington’.
its a CENTIPEDE
beth-owned!
Really?… You don’t think being made by the same person doesn’t have something to do with it?…
James and the Giant Peach was not directed by Tim Burton, it’s by Henry Selick.
Henry Selick directed both. Tim Burton was producer on both, and writer for Nightmare Before Christmas.
Though which created Skelington I wouldn’t know, though the director tend to have the more artistic role, so I’d guess Selick.
Burton created Skellington.
Selick and Burton worked jointly on the projects. Burton gets most of the credit, but Selick was the director. The person on the set everyday- working with the puppeteers- that was Selick, not Burton. After the sucess of NBX, Selick was, not unsuprisingly, a bit put out by all the accolades going to Burton alone, rumor has it.
And it goes on, what with the general assumption that Coraline was a Burton movie when it was billed as being brought to us by the people who did Nightmare Before Christmas.
Selick did direct both films, but as Peaches said, Jack Skellington was purely a Tim Burton creation. NBC is based on a poem Burton wrote: http://www.timburtoncollective.com/nmbcpoem.html
If I were Selick, I’d be kind of pissed at the Coraline ads, too. His name was hardly mentioned, and you KNOW they billed it was “from the creator of The Nightmare Before Christmas” on purpose to make people think it was Burton. XD
It’s the same character guys. They call him Skellington. It’s a lovely little reference to Nightmare, which Selick did work on. It is in fact supposed to be Jack. It’s his nod to NBC.
Burton created Selick.
Win
citation needed.
Hasn’t Selick said that Jack is in nearly all of his movies in some way or form. I thought I remembered reading something about at one point in Coraline when the other mother makes eggs the yolk is Jack’s face.
Also in beetlejuice when he has the merry go round on his head (near end of movie) Jacks head is on top. Never saw the coraline/egg yolk one though
agreed (:
thank you. some one who isnt stupid
SMH this should be on FAILBLOG
Two skeletons, made by the same guy, with the same name, totally look like each other.
apart from my clothes, me yesterday totally looks like me today.
Haha. Glad to see all the comentators realize how horrible this went down.
Who’s excited for Alice in Wonderland? *huggles Tim Burton*
ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!
I’m too frightened to see it.
Oh god, excited can’t even describe how I’m feeling about that movie!
I wonder why
Now I’m glad I didn’t see this movie. I read “James and the Giant Peach” many times, and I don’t ever recall there being a pirate in it. I guess in these modern times flying through the air in an oversized fruit with giant insects isn’t adventurous enough if there isn’t a walking cadaver involved.
It doesn’t walk through. See the movie before you bash it.
Somebody please flay the person responsible for putting this one on the site, until they too look like Skellington.
Thank you in advance
….FAIL! And yes, SanityInjection, I’m fairly sure the Pirate does not appear in the book.
If you don’t like what they post why do you keep coming on the site to comment stupid things?
stupid comments are what make America the country it is *smiling to the heavens*sniff….tear
How do these get posted.
Research Fail
That would be because Jack Skellington can be found everywhere. In addition to James and the Giant Peach, he can be found in the opening scene of Sleepy Hollow, that’s him in his scarecrow costume. His head is on top of the carosel in Beetlejuice. Little skulls decorating a cake in Corpse Bride resemble Jack as well.
It’s called a “cameo”. Or, an inside joke. Or even an easter egg.
Some directors who work with Tim Burton like to put little homages to him in their movies. In this case, Jack Skellington became a pirate. No, it’s not that original, but still… Although there was nothing in that I saw in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.
Hell, in one of the test shots of “Nightmare Before Christmas”, when the witches are playing hockey/ringette in one of the last scenes, instead of a pumpkin the animators used a model of Tim Burton’s severed head!
why use an illustration of jack?
Yeah, Selick is rather predictable. Even the Other Mother kinda looks the same.
As far as I recall the “Making of” they used the same puppet in both movies. So, yes. Fail.
It belongs on failblog, so here it is.
http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4926142
you know, i thought this same thing when i saw james and the giant peach. i was like o.O
obviously.. Tim Burton and Henry Selick both worked on NBC and James and the Giant Peach. XD
And next think you know, they’ll say “HEY, That Edward Scissorhands guy looks JUST like Johnny Depp!”
*facepalm*
You DO realize this was intentional?
Uhg seriously? TO say a Signature Tim Burton art looks like another Tim Burton Art peice is well… obvious..
wtf
wow so many haters. get a life.
…..idiot. -.-”
DUH.
its SUPPOSED to be jack skellington.
lets just stop visiting this site and maybe it will go away!
Hay an actor has to ‘eat’, so why not other movies?
wow, youre all idiots… This is the same character, Tim Burton and Selick worked on this film, it is the same character – its even in the same toy range ffs
It’s not only MEANT to look like Jack, it’s the same stop motion doll. They still had him left over from NBC, and just re-dressed the puppet.
really? cool
They look the same because they are both Tim Burton films. duh. All TB films look the same so its not really a shock
sweeny todd is on HBO right now *yawn, all i’ll say is I want to do everything to Mr. Burtons wife, Helena!!! DAMN!!
different director, same writer
I think everytime I come to thsi site it gets worse, but that’s why I come here.
….It is the same, Tim Burton did both……
It IS Jack Skellington. He has a ‘cameo’ in JATGP. IMDB mentions it in TNBC trivia section. Silly silly poster:P
The pirate is jack. im not joking
Reason why I never go to this place: They were made by the EXCATCT same person(Tim Burton did both movies)
i love how almost every single post here is somebody calling everybody idiots because they were both made by Tim Burton, as if they are the first ones to bring that up. FAIL
only because one of the jack puppets from TNBC was used in james and the giant peach. also, the centipede says SKELLINGTON!!!!! sorry to b critical but i’m a major selick and burton fan.
It’s the same. Jack also made two more cameos, one as the top of the carousel hat in Beetlejuice and another during Tim Burton’s first stop motion short film, Vincent. It’s just like the red and green skeletons that pop up every now and again in a Burton film.
The “james” credits actually read, “Jack Skellington as ‘Pirate Skellington’.
Thats because both of the films were made by Tim Burton.
In the commentary for Nightmare Before Christmas, Burton said that Jack’s first film appearance was a cameo in James and the Giant Peach. Skellington had been a character in Burton’s head for many years before the production of the movie.
thats because it is Tim burton drew for both movies
jack is also in beetlejuice and the corpse bride
Um… well it is the same character. You see him in Beetlejuice and the short film Vincent both by Tim Burton and both done before the Nightmare Before Christmas was released
yeah, it was Tim Burton, the director of both films, who decided to put a cameo for Jack in James and The Giant Peach
C’mon, The Centipede clearly says “Skellington” when he sees him. How can u possibly think this is a rip off like sinario. Tim Burton must have let Henry Selick do it on purpose. Haven’t you notived in every Burton fild, produced or directed, there’s something from a former movie incorperated? It’s easy to tell.
its kinda funny
i’ve been saying this to my friends for years
but I mean tim burton did produce both so…
it’s called a cameo.
Its called recycling. And that’s exactly what Tim Burton did.
He had the leftovers from a Nightmare Before Christmas and decided to use them.
It is supposed to be Jack…in the movie one of the people says “-gasp-Its a Skellington!!”
What like 100 people already said, there the same. and tim burton did both movies.
Thats because they are… they are both Tim Burton and if you listen the centipeade says “a SKELLINGTON” not a skelleton…
uhm…. that could be because…. its sort of a cameo BY skellington..
hun, i’m sure a lot of people have already said this, but i’m too lazy to read all the comments before posting.
so.
they actually used one of jack skellington’s stop-motion puppet and skelarmature to make the pirate captain. a bit of an inside joke of henry selick’s (he’s the director of NBC and J&TGP) also, skelarmature is expensive. gotta do something with it.
Tim Burton tends to slip jack or a ‘jack-esk’ character into all his films.
Jack is the pirate moron
The pirate is one of the reasons that i love james and the giant peach
Tim Burton used the same doll for both James and the Giant Peach, and Nightmare Before Christmas, and all those other short movies Jack is in. OF COURSE THEY LOOK THE SAME
It’s meant to look like him. Tim Burton created both movies, duh
Well both of those movies were produced by Tim Burton, so it’s not that surprising that there would be some similarities between the two of them.
bahahahahaha! you’re an idiot..
Both Nightmare before christmas and james and the giant peach are from burton… he did that on purpose
EXACTLYNESS.
um, if you look at a intrveiw with the designers from the movie, they say “the pirat IS jack skellington” FAIL.
Jack is the pirate skeleton.
Tim Burton worked on James, and Henry Selik directed both.
It’s a cameo appearance.
Someone might have said this already, but there you go.
I was in a collectables shop, and found nightmare before christmas toys, and “Pirate Captain Jack” was in with them. He had a nightmare box and everything.
Tim Burton created the Nightmare Before Christmas, all out of clay. And he helped produce the claymations in this movie, it’s intentional
THE PIRATE IS JACK!!! THE CENTIPEDE CALLS HIM “A SKELL-ING-TON!” IT WAS A CAMEO FOR JACK, DID YOU KNOW THAT JAKE IS ALSO IN THE CORALINE MOVIE???
tim burton directed james and the giant peach AND the nightmare before christmas you dip…
actually, he just produced it.
yea, it’s suppose to look alike. look it up. tim burton was one of the producers of this film, along side some of the creators.. its like a little “easter egg” if you will, for people who are fans of burton, or just like those films.. he’s also hidden within several other burton movies.
Well it’s not exactly a minor detail is it? They made a really stupid and obvious mistake. Although the excessive amounts of people pointing it out is getting annoying.
i knew that they were the same skeletons even when i was a little kid
