The Burton-Verse Theory connects Tim Burton's films The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, and Frankenweenie within the same timeline, based on similarities in physical appearances and character personalities. It may seem far-fetched, but there is a logic behind it that adds to the fun of the discussion.
Is Emily from Corpse Bride Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas?
Trivia. Sally's Corpse Bride counterparts are Emily the Corpse Bride and Victoria Everglot from Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride". Sally makes an appearance in "Grim Tales From Down Below."
The original Corpse Bride story was inspired by a Jewish folktale called "The Finger," which tells the story of a man accidentally marrying the undead ghost of a murdered bride.
Is Coraline connected to Nightmare Before Christmas?
The issue appears to trace back to The Nightmare Before Christmas. The classic stop-motion spook-fest was released in 1994 and is based on a book by Burton. Tim Burton didn't direct Coraline, but sadly for the legacy of the phenomenal Henry Selick, the comparisons between them don't stop there.
Based on a poem and the early drawings created by Burton while working at Disney, The Nightmare Before Christmas became the first feature-length stop-motion animated film.

Who was Jack Skellington before he died?
Jack Skellington's appearance in James and the Giant Peach as Captain Jack suggests that he was a pirate before he died, explaining his chaotic actions in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Sally is in love with Jack Skellington, but is unsuccessful in showing her affections to Jack. However, by the end of the movie, she manages to let him know how much she loves him and he reveals that he loves her in return. They share a passionate kiss on top of Spiral Hill.
While Nemo is brought to the top of the bubbling volcano to be initiated into the fish tank, Jack's skull can be seen floating in one of the bubbles just by Gill's head.
The theory says that first is Frankenweenie, following Victor's childhood years and his relationship with his dog, and then comes Corpse Bride, with an older Victor whose dog has died (for good this time), though he reunites with him now as a skeleton.
Corpse Bride (also known as Tim Burton's Corpse Bride) is a 2005 stop-motion animated musical fantasy film directed by Mike Johnson and Tim Burton from a screenplay by John August, Caroline Thompson, and Pamela Pettler, based on characters created by Burton and Carlos Grangel.
Summary. Emily, the Corpse Bride, was murdered on her wedding day by her fiancé, who stole her family's fortune and left her for dead in the forest. The identity of Emily's murderer is revealed to be Lord Barkis, who was also attempting to marry Victoria, Victor's true love.
She was very jealous of Victoria and began to lament about being dead as she believed Victor didn't love her because she wasn't alive, showing that she gets upset easily.
Sally is Jack Skellington's love interest, a kind, shy, and determined rag doll who tells him that Christmas and Halloween should not mix and is the only one to have doubts about his Christmas plan.
Sally the living ragdoll is now queen of Halloween Town. She doesn't feel much like a queen, but after marrying her truest of loves, Jack Skellington, she is indeed one of only two royals in the land.
Who is the girl who looks like Emily Corpse Bride?
Sahar Tabar from Tehran, Iran, had originally claimed she transformed herself to look more like — in her eyes — the Oscar-award winning actress. Many of her 408,000 Instagram followers were struggling to see the resemblance, though.
A heartbroken Victor decided to dedicate himself to Emily, even agreeing to give up his life for her, possibly for his own broken heart and also for Emily's happiness. However, despite Victor expressing deep feelings for Emily, he was not in love with her.
Jack Skellington was once human. Some theories state his origin is tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack. In the story, Stingy Jack deceives the devil. Upon his death, God didn't let him into heaven, and the devil locked him out of hell.
Jack appears in the background in a South Park made-for-TV movie called "Imaginationland". Jack appears in the movie Coraline as the yolk of an egg cracked by the Other Mother. Jack appears in the Mad episode "Kitchen Nightmares Before Christmas".
The kids named him Zero, after Jack Skellington's spooky ghost dog in Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." So sick in his young age, he was spectral — yet fiercely loyal.
Jack is 77 inches tall, and Sally is 70 inches tall. They are both animatronic, prompted to move when they detect sound or motion nearby. Jack's mouth, hand and arm move while he makes 12 sounds, including phrases from the movie.
The book confirms that Sally and Jack were married after the events of the movie, though Sally still began to feel somewhat trapped in her role as the Queen of Halloween Town.
