ZeekyBoogeyDoog Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I have not seen the film before, but that's a neat spiral *y*! The hill is great! Quote

zouave Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Great moc SirNadroj. I remember this scene from the movie. He was singing. EDIT Just a question. Where is Zero's red nose? X-D Edited July 17, 2007 by zouave Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 thanks, zouave! That is one of the most dramatic scenes, in my opinon, especially with the full moon behind him. I attempted to make said full moon, but it didn't really come out right. :-X Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Very well done SirNadroj. I love the stair case. You did a nice job capturing the mood of Nightmare Before Christmas. I'd love to see more. You need to share this as well as any other NBC MOCs in October for Halloween. I'm already gearing up. *skull* Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 Thank, Brickster. I'm gearin' up for Halloween too! (every year I go all out on my house! *skull* ) Actually, NBC would make a good vignette contest in october. I'll have to remember that! *y* Quote
Grand Moff Viceroy Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Good , I saw parts of the movie, includiong that scene. Nice, but could be smoother. :-) Quote
CF Mitch Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I Actually know NBC from the game Kingdom Hearts (which is an anime game, featuring disney adventures) but it looks a lot realistic to me, although I kept wondering what the white thing behind Jack was :-P Untill Zouave mentioned his red nose that is X-D Nice job *y* Edited July 17, 2007 by CF WeaZZel Quote
Aredhel Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I love your MOC!!! The scene is really really cool in comparison to the movie! I really like it! (I love the movie, too *wub* , so sad and nice and cute). The flying dog is very nice with the trans bricks! -Aredhel Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Quote
Wobo Ihi Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 If you don't like Tim Burton's films I don't like you. :-P And about your creation, Nadroj, it could be a bit bigger, but it's great and very original. Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 EDIT Just a question. Where is Zero's red nose? X-D Actually, Zero has an orange pumpkin for a nose. X-D It's there, you just can't tell 'cause of the lighting. Quote
Norrington Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I liked NBC, but that liking was killed when they released "Haunted Mansion Holiday". Gee... wjats next? "Pirates of the Caribbean Christmas Season?" With the idiots who made HMH reality in charge, I don't doubt it. I can see the announcment now: "This holiday season we'll see something new* in New Orleans Square. Recently Disney execs have announced a new overlay in this section of the park to add to the already extremely popular "Haunted Mansion Holiday," - A Pirates of the Caribbean Holiday, or, playfully called, "Pirates of the Christmas Season." "We're very pleased to show that pirates, like all human beings, are really just big softies underneath," one Disney rep commented on the ride's changes, "instead of hurting people, these pirates will be discovering the true meaning of Christmas." And, with a new pirates theme, the lyrics have changed. We are able to share with you this leaked copy of The Pirates of The Caribbean Christmas Carol. Pirates of the Caribbean Christmas Carol (AKA Pirates of the Christmas Season) Ho ho, Ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. We gift wrap and package and decorate things, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. We run in the snow and make angel wings, Drink nog, me 'earties ho ho. Ho ho, ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. We knit Christmas sweaters for our relatives, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. We write letters to where Santa Claus lives, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. Ho ho, ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. We gather to carol and merrily sing, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. We make popcorn garland with really long string, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. Ho ho, ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. Each holiday season we pick out a tree, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. Don't you love the feeling that Christmas gives ye, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. Ho ho, ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. We'll give you your presents with very wide grins, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. And be very sad when the new year begins, Drink nog, me 'earties, ho ho. Ho ho, ho ho, it's Christmastime for me. The ride begins with the Jolly Roger warning its passengers about the terrors of the holidays (Waiting to shop until the 24th of December, Electric bills for Christmas lights, etc.), before dropping down the flumes. To simulate the Wintertime experience, the water temperatures in the ride have been set to below zero - bad news for the unlucky guests sitting in the front, where the most water splashes up. The first changes we see are in the cove of dead pirates. The pirate steering the ship is now surrounded by presents, the pirate with the bird on his head has stockings hanging on either side of him, and the pirate in the bed now bears a striking resemblance to one Ebenezer Scrooge. Continuing on we discover that the Wicked Wench has been changed as well - Christmas lights have been run up its mast, and the captain of the ship is now Santa Claus. "Ho ho ho!" He yells, "You've all been bad this year!" before firing snowballs at the fort. The fort, of course, is helpless - screams of "Uh oh!" and "Santa's got a snow cannon!" are loud and clear for every little boy and girl to hear. The merriest part of the ride is the town ransacking scene. The pirates have each been cleaned up to look more presentable, and are joyously singing their new song. The mayor is finally released from the well, and has joined in the singing with the pirates. The auction scene has transformed into a "Toys for Tots" fundraiser, and the infamous redhead is kissing the former auctioneer under some mistletoe. Some visitors may be wondering about a certain Jack Sparrow at this point. Jack is in the ride, of course - he plays quite a big part. Jack can now be seen slinking around the town's giant Christmas tree, stealing presents and putting them in a burlap sack. Some say that this is a blatant rip-off of a Dr. Seuss character, but that is not true - he is actually imitating a scene from a movie starring Jim Carrey that came out in 2000. The ride travels to the burning town scene. Usually a wild and rowdy scene, it has been changed to one of reflection and solace. The pirates have begun singing, quite appropriately, "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," and this gives visitors a moment of relaxation before being forced back into the deadly chaos that is Disneyland at Christmas. Lastly, we see the final scene of the ride - Jack's Treasure, and the Jail Scene. The pirates are still calling for the keys from the dog, but the dog is now wearing a "Mall Security" hat, as a tip to the shoplifting each season. Instead of offering a bone, one pirate suggests "how 'bout a nice juicy gingerbread man?" Trivia: Pirates of the Christmas Season was inspired by the "You Can Fly" song in Peter Pan ("think of Christmas, think of snow, think of sleighbells, off you go..." More Trivia: If you look closely, you can see that the gingerbread man being offered to the dog is the one from Shrek, with a look of terror on his face." Edited July 17, 2007 by Norrington Quote
Wobo Ihi Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Oh, Norrington. After that post, I think I'm in love with you. ... Well, maybe not. But I did like it. Are we getting too off-topic here? Quote
Norrington Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Oh, Norrington. After that post, I think I'm in love with you.... Well, maybe not. But I did like it. Are we getting too off-topic here? Mabe we're getting off topic. But I meant I hate Haunted Mansion Holiday and I think I would kill the man who made it so there was a "Pirates of the Christmas Season"... If there was a "PotCS", of course. Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 This is oof topic, but I think HMH sounds interesting. I've actually never been to DL, but I have seen it online. Now back on topic... Quote
Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I made this to use as a bill-board in my growing town: :-D Quote
SirNadroj Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Should I have gotten real jack-o-lantern heads instead of yellow/orange heads... 8-| Quote
