Why Oogie Boogie Was Banished!: Nightmare Before Christmas Theory 

Would you be interested in me discussing the times Oogie Boogie returned after the Nightmare Before Christmas? Let me know below! Also remember if you want to go above and beyond to support the channel you can purchase the Nightmare Before Christmas shirt I was wearing in this video at wotsostore.com ! Thanks for watching, thanks for your continued support and have a magical day everyone!

5:26 I just love jack’s voice when all he says is “hello Oogie”

Jack isn't the only one Oogie's afraid of,he's also afraid of a certain 15 year old with a keyblade.

Oogie Boogie cheats? He would make a great politician

This explanation makes a lot of sense,cuz when I watched the movie(favorite movie ever) I always wondered why oogie was scared of Jack so badly. But seriously if I was him after being threatened by pumpkin king Jack ,I'd never try to take over again.

I just thought he was banished for being too extreme when it comes to Halloween. Because in the song they said "that's our job but we are not mean in our town of Halloween", and then later on Oogie Boogie said "it's much more fun I must confess with *lives* on the line" so I thought he was okay with killing people while the town just wanted to scare people. While Boogie was okay with ending lives the town wasn't so they kicked him out.

The Oogie Boogie has the best Disney villain theme song Like if you agree

I noticed a pattern with Disney villians, they all want something that they are denied. Think about it, scar was denied king, maleficent was denied a invitation, and ect, and it's a shame that even though watching nothing but Disney as a child that I just realized this😂

Well done. :D Made me wonder if there are other foes in other lands too. Like Krampus in Christmas, Wendigos in thanksgiving, heartbroken Cupids in Valentine’s Day, Crom Cruach in St Patrick’s day, and the king of oppression in Independence Day town. If only we got to see what was in the other Worlds.

So he went turbo??

I like your theory. I had my own theory about what happened: So, in the opening song “This is Halloween”, they say “Life’s no fun without a good scare. That’s our job, but we’re not mean, in our town of Halloween.” And you can see from the citizens themselves that, even while they make all of these toys that scare the bejeezus out of children, they aren’t doing it to be malicious, they actually think that the children will love their gifts. Their intentions are never to hurt anyone. However, Oogie Boogie knows that he hurts people. He tortures and maims and kills people. He intended to kill Santa Clause and Sally. I think that he was banished because he was genuinely cruel to the citizens of Halloween Town and possibly hurt or killed someone. Jack, being the caring person he is, would be very protective over his people. Since Jack is the king of scares, he most likely put Boogie’s worst fears into him and told him to leave and never return. That’s why Boogie only makes a move after Jack has become so preoccupied with Christmas that he wouldn’t notice Boogie plotting. That’s my theory.

I thought that it was because Oogie-Boogie was too dangerous, perhaps even having killed someone. The citizens of Halloweentown scare because "life's no fun without a good scare," but they mean no harm because "that's our job/but we're not mean." Oogie-Boogie, on the other hand, says "it's much more fun...when lives are on the line." He uses fear for harm, not for fun.

Oogie Boogie: “I’m the real boogeyman” John Wick: “am I a joke to you?”

Jack Skellington and Zero have always been my favorites. I always had the impression that Oogie was jealous of Jack or something. But I always knew that Jack and Oogie Boogie were archenemies!

Yes please, discuss the times he returned please

In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song!!!

6:56 YES. THERE WAS AN AWESOME 2ND VIDEO GAME THAT IS A SEQUEL TO THE FILM. If I'm not mistaken the plot was Oogie captures ALL the other holiday leaders (Santa, Easter Bunny, a Leprechaun, and so on...)

Battle of the cheaters: Oogie vs grunkle Stan who would win? Like=Stan reply=oogie Just to clarify this is a cheating battle.

You missed something in the nightmare before christmas game : oogies revenge at one point of the game oogie mentions at one point he and jack were friends.

Isn't it a bit strange that Coco is an old woman when she dies, when everyone else are about 20 or 30? I know it's probably her "happiest time in her life" but wouldn't the happiest time be when she was a little girl, when her Dad was still in her life? ...Sorry if this seems random lol.

How are the cars alive from Cars? If you are wondering too like. (If you already did this one ignore it)

*WOOOOOOOAAAAHH! THE SOUND OF ROLLIN' DICE TO ME IS MUUUSIC IN THE AIRRR! CUZ IMMA GAMBLING BOOGIE MAN, ALTHOUGH I DON'T PLAY FAIRRR~!*

Thank you Isaac! My boyfriend and I love the movie and theories and cannot wait to watch the video.

Oogie Boogie is one of my favorite characters, what about you?

After being banished by Jack, he would be joining a group comprised by a pirate, deity, vizer, sea witch, and a dark fae with the goal of world domination; only to be defeated by Jack a frankendog, a mummy duck, and a shonen vampire with a giant key.

Are the bugs in Oogie the same bugs that sing with Rasputin? I mean, Anastasia was meant to look like a Disney movie despite being from Don Bluth.

i always beleved that it was because he tryed to kill santa haha i was like 3 when i first watched it in 2009

I’m glad you pointed out that boogie is a bad gambler cause we only ever seen him roll snake eyes whenever he rolls the dice.

Wow...this theory made me love “Nightmare before Christmas “ more than before , thank you , Isaac ❗️ and can’t wait for the “Hunchback “ theories (you said very soon ...I wait) ❤️

Fun Fact: My dad said he saw the movie when it came out in theaters & I saw it when I was a kid & I fell in love with it. I still love it to this day Edit: I have A LOT of merchandise from the movie -Funko Pops (I even have Oogie Boogie from the Diamond Collection) -T-shirts -A Jack & Sally figures -Plushies of Sally, Jack & Oogie -Poster -A painting -Socks I once had a container of bath salts that were in a Deadly Night Shade jar

Imagine being one of the most biggest fear factors of a child’s life and being both banished by and afraid of a skeleton in a suit.

Yup had that game. It sucked, it really did

Would you ever do a video talking about Lock shop can barrel on how they died I heard it on tiktok at one point but I'm trying to find that video could you please give me a link to that video please

Isaac, thank you so much for discussing about Oogie Boogie in this video. He was one of my favorite villains of the film, hope you get a chance to do a theory relating to Big Hero 6: The Series along with some of the characters such as Obake.

You forgot to mention the biggest mistake Oogie made not one, but twice, earning him Jack’s anger: Capturing Sally.

That’s a lot more kid friendly then what I imagined. Thought it was like Beetlejuice and he killed every single person he scared.

Hey can you do a video of How Jack got to reign Halloween Town please!!!! I always wondered how.

Totally discuss more Oogie Boogie!!

Yes I want you to talk more about Oggie's return, since he did take over Halloween Town for a while in the PS2 game of the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Love your enthusiasm as well as your all-around vocal tone

Can you make a video on hocus pocus or treasure planet? Thx!!!❤

While I might not be the biggest NBC fan out there. Oogie Boogie is one of my favourite Disney villains. From his design to the actor to his songs (including the sequel game. Filthy Finale is the greatest boss fight song ever. Don’t @ me) he’s so unique. I really think Disney needs to bring him back somehow.

I AM SO HAPPY YOU DISCUSSED THIS! I think you should most definitely discuss his revenge after the film! 2018 is the 25 anniversary of this fantastic film after all!

U r the best Isaac. I noticed that my comment was one of few that u used at the beginning of the video. Thanks for making Disney more magical for me

Yes more Oogie Boogie please. Also hooray Halloween

YES! Oogie's my favorite, so that's a RESOUNDING yes. PLEASE do discuss his returns! However... I AM a bit confused with Disney's choice of Oogie's past holiday. I mean, I kind of get it. You know, "Bug Day" and Oogie is full of bugs... But like... I think if you go down the Burton route and not the Disney canon, if Burton would have had full control over Nightmare with Selick at his side, no Disney involved except as the distributors, you would likely have to research the evolution and history of the ACTUAL Halloween holiday, like I've done. I always knew Jack had banned Oogie but more so because there was a time in human history when the old roots (Samhain) and the new sprout (Hallowmas/All Hallows/Halloween) fought for control in popularity. I always figured there had been some kind of election with an outcome based on the reaction of the human world that had resulted in Oogie becoming marginalized, much like Samhain actually had happen. My other grounds for thinking this was a possibility is because Oogie runs on bugs, which have always served our world with various functions in nature like pest control or decomposition. You know the natural order of things. And those that initiated Samhain to begin with had strong beliefs in the forces of nature and of darkness. Another thing is that he is made of burlap, in a sack shape. Natural materials like that, as most of us probably know, were used in making bags and baskets to help carry crops to market or store them for the Winter and those that initiated Samhain were also typically farming communities where this was a common sight. Oogie also appears to be more frightening than Jack at times, which goes back to their fear of things that went bump in the night that helped inspire the Samhain festivities. Jack, on the other hand is an adorable grinning skeleton with a high level of curiosity. The festivities always had some notion of a connection to the dead, but it was not until about 200 years after the first attacks on Samhain that Halloween began to emerge as we now know it. During this change, the old motif of the human skeleton was slowly picked free from the past and began to be used as a common Halloween image, initially by way of people migrating from carving turnips to carving pumpkins into what they understood to resemble the face of a human skull- hollow sockets, triangular nose, GRINNING mouth. As I said, Jack is often grinning and it may be notable that his head is more rounded (almost more like a perfect white pumpkin) than a real human skull. Then came the curiosity. Instead of completely fearing the monsters in the dark, by the 1950's, people began to become more curious about them with the onset of the first waves of science fiction and horror in Hollywood. This eventually gave way to slasher films and then, reflecting on some of the adult themes of Halloween from the 1800's, some began to use Halloween for movements to support marginalized communities like LGBT+, for example. We began to therefore explore ourselves- our own darkness. Curiosity had set in. This is all why I had likened Jack to representing "present day" Halloween.

At like 2:49 when you say, "Gambling Boogie Man" It (to me) sounds just like oogie boogie but with your voice 👏👏

Ooh I would LOVE to hear about the times Oogie came back!!! I'm am so glad I voted for this video. I knew you wouldn't fail to give a great, amazing explanation!

Aaah I loved this game so much as a kid! My favorite part was when Jack finally met Sally, my heart melted 💕💕

Haha oogie sounds like the devil in cuphead with gambling

I thought this was really nerdy but I honestly enjoyed your enthusiasm so much that I subscribed. Interesting topic tho!

Also I love u and ur videos I hope ur having a magical day too and I absolutely love the nightmare before Christmas 😊

I love your videos. I am a die hard Disney fan. I especially love Lilo & Stitch. I saw your video about Stitch's girlfriend Angel. It was very interesting. I'm just curious who is your favorite experiment from Lilo & Stitch? My personal favorite is Experiment 300 aka Spooky. Also if you can, can you do full story's for some of the other experiments? Just a suggestion. Have a magical day :)

I wasn't expecting to see any videos about my favorite boogeyman in August, but I'm not complaining!

ye i love those game boys, i still have them

3:08; “It’s much more fun, I must confess, when lives are on the line. Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy. Why that would be just fine.” That line feels much more on par than this.

Honestly, minus the creepy looks he gives sometimes, Oogie looks kind of cuddly to me. Don't judge.

I would like to see a short film of this story, and see Jack and Oogie face off in a cool action packed duel

Definitely interested in more info about Halloween town. Oogie Boogie has an intriguing backstory. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome vid! I love it! I watch these when I get bored and you inspire me to make my own theories!!! :D

*Immediantely starts singing Oogie Boogie’s song*

Could you discuss the eerie resemblance of Kubo’s aunts to the Beldam

I watched a video of theories of how the characters died and oogies makes me like him more as a character. The theory is that he was Skinned alive and left which is why he's made of bugs, the fabric he's made of is like rough string which is what bugs can't chew through. But now finding out that, he wanted to take over Halloween town is insane, I never even knew there was a game that showed that. I love Oogie Boogie, he's my favourite villain cause he actually has a backstory

In Oogie's Revenge, Oggie left his prison and it was GAME OVER!

Could Bing Bong live on in The land of the dead. Before you say its for people. .what about that winged Jaguar did he start as an imaginary friend. He people even status . if Riley made a doll of Bing Bong could he live on as a doll we know kids imagination brings toys to live . so when Riley was done with him could go on living his own life . by Toy Story4 could have a village of toys out grown and decided to live out on their own

😧

Speaking of Halloween...have you ever rode the Haunted Mansion? If you have, what was the backstory of Madame Leota before she became a head in a crystal ball?

as soon as august come i start decorating my basement. and as soon as halloween stuff comes to stores i get them like no tomorrow

😲

Hey wotso video's in love your video's and I think that you are so awesome if you would Heart this comment it Will mean the world to me im always so Silent but not now I LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S THEY MAKE ME SMILE AND THEY MAKE MY DAY!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I always kinda theorized that everyone in the town has a instinct fear of jack why maybe if we go by the theory that Halloween town was once a much more horrible place with denizens that would.tesr people apart for fun maybe jack came back one day and just started taking over I mean the dude can transform from a scarecrow to his normal form stretch his mouth wide open with the help of his fingers so in conclusion I always thought that jack was the king because he took over the town and made it better but everyone has that sense of fear of him because of how powerful he is but they also love him because he doesn't use that power to make them his slaves or what ever instead he allows them to do more things and this is reason why oogie was afraid of jack because he was so insanely powerful

nightmare before christmas is my fav movie so i love these videos!

😮 I even beat this game!!!! So fun

😯

I think there's a detail missing, if i'm correct, Oogie's minions accidentally kidnapped Sally during this point and Jack went to rescue her. This is what also caused Sally to fall in love with him

I love how Isaac wears a shirt that matches the topic he is talking about.
