“How come in The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack hates Oogie Boogie,” well you see, Jack is a skelliton and Oogie Boogie is bugs and I can see there being a grudge there.
#Even simpler. Kings don’t like it when you try to flout their authority.#Or if you want to take it the opposite direction. Jack stands for SPECTACLE.#It’s all about the SHOW (both positive in his actual role and negative in the role that he tries to assume).#While Oogie Boogie’s much more about SUBSTANCE. Jack’s scary is much closer to Halloween than Oogie Boogie’s scary.#Something about laughing at evil vs actually participating in evil.#To put it another way Jack represents dressing up as a devil. Oogie Boogie represents trying to summon one.#See Jack’s enterance — a scarecrow/jack-o’-lantern burnt away to reveal a skeleton (structure)#vs Oogie Boogie’s exit — a burlap sack unraveled to reveal a shapeless mass of bugs.#(I misspelled entrance but I ain’t going back to retype it.)#OR ANOTHER WAY. Jack represents a Christian Halloween (structured. yearning for Christmas. ultimately content to play his given role.)#Oogie Boogie represents something much more pagan. (unstructured. brutal. ultimately powerless.)
