Excerpt: This article lists characters seen in the film The Nightmare Before Christmas and video games The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King and The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge. A number of these notable characters have also appeared in the Kingdom Hearts series of video games, as well as in the form of action figures and in published books. The characters also appear in Haunted Mansion Holiday, a seasonal overlay of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction. The franchise's principal character, Jack Skellington, cameos in the film version of James and the Giant Peach as the "pirate captain" and in an episode of Robot Chicken played by Victor Yerrid. The filmmakers constructed 230 puppets to represent the characters in the movie, with Jack Skellington having "around eight hundred heads", allowing the expression of every possible emotion. Sally's mouth movements "were animated through the replacement method. During the animation process,...only Sally's face 'mask' was removed in order to preserve the order of her long red hair. Sally had ten types of faces, each made with a series of eleven expressions (e.g. eyes open and closed, and various facial poses) and synchronised mouth movements." The movie's titular character and primary protagonist, Jack Skellington is a dreaded nightmarish skeleton with the alias of "The Pumpkin King". Under that alias, he is the titular hero of the prequel video game "The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge" . He is popular among the inhabitants of Halloween Town, due to his charming personality and aim to please. Despite a lack of inhibition, he means well. He is in charge of Halloween. Having not left it within many years (as heard in the song Jack's Lament where he mentions England, Kentucky and France), he felt his inspiration for his own holiday waning. Christmas Town gave him new ideas and inspiration. He also appears in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before
