The Mayor has two split personalities, happy and sad (which is shown by his "rotating face"). He usually plans Halloween with Jack every year and he looks up to him as the town's hero. He is also quite unreliable and cowardly since he can't stand up to the Heartless by himself and asks Jack to get rid of them, even making an excuse that he is only "an elected official". | The Mayor has two split personalities, happy and sad (which is shown by his "rotating face").

The Mayor originates from Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion Disney film, ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. In the film, he and the citizens are preparing Halloween Town for Halloween. As per the Mayor's request, Jack also assists in the preparations. When Jack goes missing over night during his journey into Christmas Town, the Mayor panics, as he fears Halloween would be ruined without Jack's input. Jack returns and asks the Mayor to hold a meeting at town hall, to which the Mayor happily agrees to do. After Jack announced he wishes to celebrate Christmas, the Mayor supports Jack and helps him in his quest to bring his own version of Christmas to the world, despite his secret misgivings about it. When Jack is apparently killed by the U.S army while delivering presents in place of Santa Claus, the Mayor openly admits his misgivings about Jack's idea and sorrowfully goes off inform Halloween Town about Jack's "death". Later, he is told by Lock, Shock, and Barrel that Jack is still alive, and comes to retrieve him and Sally after Oogie Boogie has been defeated. At the end of the film, the Mayor of Halloween Town is seen among the surprised citizens when it begins snowing in Halloween Town | The Mayor originates from Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion Disney film, ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''.
