Jack Skellington is the protagonist in the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack was voiced by Chris Sarandon during speech and by Danny Elfman when singing.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack Skellington is a skeleton known as the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, a fictional world oriented solely on the holiday of Halloween. He has a pet ghost dog named Zero, and love interest Sally Finklestein. In the film, he inadvertantly finds his way into Christmas Town and becomes infatuated with the holiday, bringing it back to Halloween Town for its denizens to partake in. However, not really understanding the "point" of Christmas, they twist it into a celebration of the macabre rather than a season to be jolly, effectively ruining Christmas for the year. Only when Jack saves Santa Claus from the clutches of Oogie Boogie can the holiday be set right.

The Pumpkin King

Jack Skellington had a rivalry with Oogie Boogie. When Oogie plans to turn Halloween Town into a new Bug Day, Jack must stop him and his army of insects from taking over his town.
