who is Sally The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sally is a kind-hearted, resourceful rag doll created by Dr. Finkelstein, a mad scientist who keeps her under his control. She is stitched together from various pieces of fabric and filled with leaves, giving her the unique ability to detach and reattach her limbs. Despite her fragile appearance, Sally is clever, brave, and fiercely independent. Throughout the film, she exhibits a strong moral compass, often acting as the voice of reason in contrast to Jack Skellington’s impulsiveness.

Sally harbors deep romantic feelings for Jack, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. Although initially shy and hesitant, she supports Jack’s endeavors while warning him of the dangers of his obsession with taking over Christmas. Sally’s love for Jack and her determination to protect him become integral to the story’s resolution. Her character embodies themes of love, individuality, and courage.

Catherine O’Hara, a talented actress and comedian, provided Sally’s voice in the film. O’Hara also sang Sally’s iconic ballad, “Sally’s Song,” which conveys her longing and quiet strength.
