519. Original screen-used "Santa Jack" stop-motion puppet, dog "Zero" puppet, skeleton reindeer puppet and Jack's prop trashcan with presents from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Buena Vista, 1993) This incredible ensemble consists of a screen-used Santa Jack armature covered in rubber and resin then hand-painted (as seated, measures 6 in. high). Also included is the screen-used puppet of Jack's dog Zero measuring 5 in. long, a screen-used skeleton reindeer measuring approx. 7 ½ in. long and a screen-used oversize prop trashcan filled with presents. To round out the ensemble is a prop coffin sleigh used in the production, but not screen-used, as well as two additional skeleton reindeer which were made from the original molds by the original craftsmen, but not actually used in the film. All of the puppets are half-scale and contain movable armatures. Mounted on a base with the figures posed as they appear on screen. These pieces were all given to one of the animators of The Nightmare Before Christmas once the picture had wrapped, and had been in his possession until they were sold in 2001 to the current owner. $25,000 - $35,000
