;First entry
Oogie Boogie is a member of the [[Villains]]. During their meetings about the events of [[Traverse Town]] and [[Deep Jungle]], Oogie only adds snide remarks instead of contributing any useful ideas to the conversation. Despite this, he does his part for the Villains' plan by making sure [[Halloween Town]] is vulnerable to the darkness and looking for the [[keyhole]] of his home world.
''This evil bag of bugs wants Jack out of town so he can take over. To further his plot, he's after the heart Dr. Finkelstein created, and he's sent Lock, Shock and Barrel to steal it.''


''He came apart at the seams in "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993).''
However, Oogie's machinations were halted upon [[Jack Skellington]] having [[Dr. Finkelstein]] create a device to pacify the Heartless, reducing the threatening creatures to mere performers for Jack's plans for Halloween. Luckily, the device was damaged in an explosion around the same time Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrived, freeing the Heartless to terrorize Halloween Town and search for the keyhole.


;Second entry
Upon hearing from his minions, [[Lock, Shock, and Barrel]], that Jack was making an artificial heart to help guide the Heartless in the Halloween Festival, Oogie ordered them to steal it. Upon receiving the heart, Oogie swallowed it as soon as his uninvited guests, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack Skellington arrived. He tried to summon an army of Heartless to do them in, but as the heart was not genuine, not as many Heartless flocked around him as he had hoped. Out of anger of being disrespected by such lower life forms, Oogie activated his Torture Chamber weapons and battled the group with his few Heartless.
''The villain who tried to take over Halloween Town. The heart he stole from Dr. Finkelstein attracted the Heartless, and the result was his doom.''


''He came apart at the seams in "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993).''
Soon after being defeated by having his bugs spilt out of his body, Oogie succumbed to the powers of darkness and merged with his own manor. Merging with it, he attacked Sora and his friends once more. Sora battled [[Game:Oogie's Manor|Oogie's Manor]], destroying it and Oogie by extinguishing the [[Shadow Glob]]s empowering it.

In [[Castle Oblivion]], Oogie Boogie appears as a figment of Sora's memories. He attempts to steal Jack's research project, which, in this case, is a Memory Potion, even slamming [[Sally]] across the room as he does so. Eventually, he succeeds in his plan, but fails again when he drank the potion and became terrified of what he remembered, though it is never quite explained what that was.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Oogie's outside appearance is very simple. He is covered from head to toe in a grey burlap sack, and an obvious seam is visible along the sides. Oogie is quite rotund, with stumpy legs and fingerless arms, a stark contrast to Jack Skellington's gaunt, tall physique. Like Jack, the "eyes" in Oogie's head are featureless black holes, as is the inside of his mouth. The tip of his head extends outward and flops down, vaguely resembling Jack's Santa hat. On the inside of the sack, Oogie is a huge mass of a variety of different colored bugs. In the movie, Oogie also produces a snake from his mouth as a "tongue" to intimidate Santa Claus by hissing at him. The majority of Oogie's consciousness is held by one, green, earwig-like bug in his head, and it is only by squashing this one that Oogie can be killed.
[[File:Oogie's Manor.png|thumb|142px|Oogie's Manor]]
Under the instruction of [[Maleficent]], Oogie steals the artificial heart from [[Doctor Finkelstein]]. He eats it, hoping to control the [[Heartless]]. However, they don't heed his call, and only a few actually appear due to the heart being a fake. Out of anger and revenge, Oogie Boogie attacks [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Jack Skellington|Jack]].
 
Succumbing to the powers of darkness, Oogie Boogie takes control over his entire manor. Merging with it, he attacks Sora and his friends once more. Sora battles the manor, and destroys it along with Oogie Boogie by destroying all the orbs of darkness covering him.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Unlike the other residents of Halloween Town, who are innocent creatures whose job it is to scare, and are actually good creatures, Oogie Boogie is the only resident of Halloween Town who is truly evil. Oogie Boogie's most dominant emotion of his personality is obviously fear. Whether it's scaring the daylights out of others, or being terrified himself, Oogie is always involved with fear. He also is shown to be considerably more dull than the other villains. Although he does seem to have his smart streak every now and then. Oogie also shows a love to gamble and to play games. With the dice that he always throws and the fact that his boss battles take place on game boards (more torture-like game boards) makes this obvious. Also, Oogie has been shown to annoy the other Disney villains in some cutscenes, seen when he tells Captain Hook that "you're no prize yourself," after which Hook angrily tells him to shut up. He is also the most sassy of the group.

Unlike the rest of the Disney villains, Oogie has little to no special powers to call his own. In both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' he has low HP, about a bar and a half. This, however, doesn't make him an easy opponent. He traps his enemies in battles on twisted, game-like, battle grounds. With spinning razor wheels, exploding dice, gun-toting robots, and many more deadly objects, Oogie Boogie can prove himself to be a dangerous foe. Once you battle your way past his defense and booby traps, he is very vulnerable and is unable to attack.
Unlike the rest of the Disney villains, Oogie is a bit of a lightweight, and relies on his numerous and elaborate deathtraps rather than any innate strength.

Oogie Boogie first appeared as the villain in Tim Burton's classic ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. He ordered Lock, Shock, and Barrel to kidnap [[Santa Claus]]. He then spends basically the rest of the movie torturing Sandy Claws to his heart's content, and then plans to eat him. After Jack realizes what has happened, he shows up in Oogie's lair, and the two face off.

Oogie Boogie originates from Tim Burton's 1993 stop motion Disney film, ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'', voiced by the late {{w|Ken Page}}. When Lock, Shock, and Barrel bring Santa Claus to Halloween Town as per Jack's order, the trio betray him and bring him to Oogie, who chains him up for torture and plans to kill him. Sally discovers this and tries to rescue Santa, but is caught by Oogie. When Jack realizes he ruined Christmas and how much Halloween needed him, he heads to Oogie's lair to free Santa and Sally, who are nearly dumped into a fiery molten pit.

He is one of Disney's most popular villains, despite only 10 minutes screen time.

* Oogie Boogie is the only member of Maleficent's group from the first ''Kingdom Hearts'' to show any affiliation with her in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and he is one of the four villains in Maleficent's council of villains to have fallen to darkness, the other three being Jafar, [[Ursula]], and Maleficent herself.
* When Oogie was defeated in ''Kingdom Hearts II,'' Donald stepped on what was apparently his "brain bug" just like what Santa did in the movie. However, as Oogie returned in the video game, ''Oogie's Revenge'' which was a sequel to the original film after his brain bug was squashed, his appearance in future installments is still possible.

Oogie Boogie is an antagonist in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. He originated from Tim Burton's stop-motion Disney film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

In Castle Oblivion, Oogie Boogie appears as a figment of Sora's memories. He attempts to steal Jack's research project, which, in this case, is a Memory Potion, even slamming Sally across the room as he does so. Eventually, he succeeds in his plan, but fails again when he drank the potion and became terrified of what he remembered, though it is never quite explained what that was.

While he is capable of remembering Jack from before his defeat a year earlier, and Maleficent as well, he forgets Sandy Claws's identity quickly, having just met him.

Oogie begins to deflate as insects leak out of him.

This time, Donald stomps on Oogie's brain bug to ensure he will never come back again.

Design[edit]

Oogie's outside appearance is very simple. He is covered from head to toe in a grey burlap sack, and an obvious seam is visible along the sides. Oogie is quite rotund, with stumpy legs and fingerless arms, a stark contrast to Jack Skellington's gaunt, tall physique.
