Sally: *Rounding corner of the house* Jack, Halloween’s in trouble! The Town needs you!
Jack: *Solving math equations, has an unfinished solution on the table, reading a book on Shakespeare* I’m a little busy right now.
Sally: Jack...I need you.
Jack: *Throws everything to the side, causing an explosion and a fire* Say no more. I’ll be there.

You know what else I like about Jack and Sally?
They’re both dreamers.
Sally’s more of a hopeless romantic - but still a dreamer. For Sally, her life outside the Tower revolves around Jack. She escapes for him, gazes at him, thinks about him, and ultimately risks herself for him. She spends her time picking at forget-me-nots whenever she’s alone, wondering if he ever will truly love her back. She indulges herself so much in this romantic fantasy that she becomes an outsider.

Jack Skellington dreams of something better that he wants. He’s unsure of what it is - but he still spends a lot of time alone and thinking. He doesn’t enjoy the empty praises and the repetition Halloween gives him. He becomes depressed with what he once loved to do, and his unhappiness was what separated him from everyone else. Why he left to go off on his own and lament about what makes him feel so sad.

And that’s what I like about Jack and Sally - how two dreamers were able to connect somewhere. They both long for something that they feel can’t be given to them. And that’s what clicked them together - Jack as Sally’s escape, and Sally as Jack’s reason. There’s no doubt that they truly took the time to gaze at the stars…wondering, in either of their minds, if they’ll ever get what they longed for so long.

And they did.

Do you guys smell that?
That’s the smell of….
For clarification, Jack and Sally HAVE relationship development. Tim Burton HIMSELF confirmed that Jack reciprocated his feelings for Sally, and that he actually loved her all along, but only realized it the moment he was about to lose her. (Source: The DVD Commentary) And it’s a recurring element in the movie that Sally loves Jack, as she admits it in her own song and is constantly taking risks just to help him throughout the story.
Sally’s role was not JUST to serve as Jack’s love interest.She played more of an essential role warning Jack that Christmas wasn’t going to turn out right - and she aided in the development of his character. She wasn’t forced in for him to kiss her at the end; Sally has her own backstory and development going THROUGH the movie. She is so much more than just “Jack’s love interest”.
And before you pull the “they have nothing in common” card on me, let me tell you right now: both Jack and Sally are unhappy with their lives. Jack is bored of the fame and grows depressed with the repetition of Halloween. Sally is unhappy with how she is treated by her creator. They both long to escape what is bothering them, which is why Sally said “I know how you feel” after hearing Jack’s Lament. This is why Jack came back to Halloween Town happy - because he has Sally in his death now, and SHE was the one who filled the emptiness inside him that he described thrice in the movie.
They both connect at a certain place in the story - the Spiral Hill. It is actually a really big symbol of their relationship, and it’s WHY they kissed there. They both leave what makes them upset to meet there, and it’s implied within their own song that they have met and talked there before. Jack and Sally were FRIENDS before and during the movie. Jack even CALLS her his “dearest friend”. They have background, and they know about each other. Why would Jack tell her that he “feels so much better now” if he hadn’t admitted how he felt to Sally? Why would he assign her a role so close to him? Why would Jack look so disappointed after seeing that Sally left him when she delivered the basket? Why would Jack kill Boogie if it wasn’t because he was going to kill Sally? Why would Jack pause while singing to Sally if it wasn’t to see if she really loves him back?
The movie even GIVES you hints about their relationship! Their scenes are separately lighted so you can FEEL their connection. They have each other’s houses in sight at all times. Jack speaks to Sally differently than he does with anybody else. They HAVE chemistry, both physically and emotionally. Just because YOU couldn’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Me at 3 AM: *Sleeping*
My Brain: If Jack Skellington had gotten shot down by the military much later than he actually did, Sally and Santa Claus would’ve died.
