saying the film lacked pop culture impact when this song was everywhere the entire summer and there was a massive wave of hope around the world is insane

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart, he was originally the narrator for Nightmare Before Christmas but the makers decided to go in a different direction but Danny Elfman loved Stewart's narration so much that it was included on the soundtrack. Here's Stewart's closing narration:
Don’t be surprised if Monkeybone becomes the Best Picture front runner soon. I think people are seriously underestimating how much this movie is going to connect with audiences including academy voters.
The man is in his 70s, if he still has energy to make one more film than give him the opportunity to make The Shadow King.
This movie would be a good career send off for him.

I must admit, I wasn't sure how I felt about (or if I even liked) this one when it came out, but after a second watch about ten years later (and then multiple watches since), I've come to realize that Henry Selick's Monkeybone (2001) is really quite brilliant.
