The Nightmare Before Christmas (76 min)
Synopsis: Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown who, though busy, feels a void in his life. Upon discovering Christmastown, he rejoices with a fervor to take over a new holiday. With the help of three mischievous trick-or-treaters, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, he manages to capture Santa Claus, whom he calls Sandy Claws, and proceeds to turn Halloweentown into a Christmas manufacturing plant. Sally, a lonely ragdoll who loves Jack, fears his new obsession will bring him trouble. Despite her efforts, Jack and his reindeer, created by the local evil scientist, set off on Christmas Eve with a lot of ghoulish presents. When the world responds with horror to Jack’s earnest efforts, and cries for the real Santa Claus, Jack realizes his mistake. He manages to save Sally and Santa Claus from the dangerous Oogie Boogie and restore the Christmas holiday. With his newfound love for Sally, he can happily return to being himself.

Charlotte’s Web (94 min)
Synopsis: Early one morning, Fern Arable prevents her father John from slaughtering a piglet as the runt of the litter. John allows Fern to raise it as a pet, which Fern lovingly names Wilbur. Six weeks later, Wilbur is sold down the street to her uncle, Homer Zuckerman. At Homers farm, Wilbur yearns for companionship. Horrified at the discovery that he will be slaughtered, Wilbur reduces himself to tears until a mysterious voice tells him to chin up and waits until morning to reveal herself to him. The following morning, she reveals herself to be a spider named Charlotte A. Cavatica, living on a web on a corner of Homers barn overlooking Wilburs pig pen. She tells him that she will come up with a plan guaranteed to spare his life. A few days later, Homers farmhand, Lurvy, sees the words “SOME PIG” spun within Charlottes web. The incident attracts publicity among Homers neighbors who deem the praise to be a miracle. Following a series of messages spun in Charlotte’s web, Homer decides to enter Wilbur in the county fair for the summer. Wilbur is accompanied by Charlotte and a hungry rat named Templeton. Although Wilbur does not win first place, the reception Wilbur receives at the fair convinces Zuckerman to let live Wilbur live to a ripe old age. Exhausted from writing words and spinning an egg sac containing her unborn offspring, Charlotte tells Wilbur she will remain at the fair to die. Not willing to let her children be abandoned, Wilbur has Templeton retrieve her egg sac to take back to the farm, just before she dies. Once he returns to Homers farm, he guards the egg sac through the winter. The next spring, Charlottes 514 children are hatched, but leave the farm, causing Wilbur to become saddened to the point of wanting to run away. Just as he is about to do so, the ram points out that three of them did not fly away. Pleased at finding new friends, he names them Joy, Nellie, and Aranea, but as much as he loves them, they will never replace the memory of Charlotte.
