(Back in the Forest, we see a Jack-O-Lantern sunrise shining in the woodland, Jack Skellington, Fievel Mousekewitz and Mouseketeer Khyler we're asleep with Zero resting next to Fievel, then they wake up.)

Fievel Mousekewitz: Where are we?

(They find themselves in an unknown part of the forest.)

Mouseketeer Khyler: It's someplace new!

(As they walked on through, they came upon Seven Massive Doorways, Carved out of wood.)

Jack Skellington: What is this?

(The doors were in the shape of a heart, a four-leaf clover, an Easter egg, a Turkey, a firecracker, and a Jack-O-Lantern. Jack was interested in what they found, Then...)

Jack Skellington: (Gasp!)

(Jack's eyes were glued onto one special door, it was a tree, all decorated and looked magical, Fievel, Khyler and Jack Skellington were amazed by the door. Jack slowly reached for the doorknob and opened the door, only to find that it was...)

Mouseketeer Khyler: Empty...?

Fievel Mousekewitz: Disappointing...

(Then, a white flurry swirl grabbed and pulled all three of them in.)

Fievel Mousekewitz, Mouseketeer Khyler and Jack Skellington: Whoa-oa-oa!

(The door closes leaving Zero)

Song #4. What's This?

(Fievel, Jack and Khyler all fell through a snowflake swirl and landed on top of a snowy hill.)

Jack Skellington: Phew, Where are we?

(Then Mouseketeer Khyler looked down the hill and saw something amazing.)

Mouseketeer Khyler: Cool!

Fievel Mousekewitz: What is it?

(Fievel looked down the hill as Jack Skellington smiled with Ah.)

Fievel Mousekewitz: Wow!

(At the bottom of the hill was a town all bright and colorful. A train was puffing through the snowy mountains. Elves and Penguins were skating on the pond, But as they were enjoying the view. Jack, Fievel and Khyler all lost their balance and slid down the snowy hill and crashed into a snowbank. They pop out and we're amazed.)

What's This? is a song in The Nightmare Before Christmas. It is sung by Jack when he discovers Christmas Town for the first time as he joyously explores it.

Jack Skellington:

"What's this? What's this?

There's color everywhere."

"What's this?

There's white things in the air."

"What's this?

I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming,"

"Wake up Jack, this isn't fair!

What's this?"

"What's this? What's this?

There's something very wrong."

"What's this?

There's people singing songs."

"What's this?

The streets are lined with little creatures laughing."

"Everybody seems so happy,

Have I possibly gone daffy?"

"What is this?

What's this?"

"There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads,

They're busy building toys and absolutely no one's dead."

"There's frost on every window, oh, I can't believe my eyes,

And in my bones I feel the warmth that's coming from inside."

"Oh look, What's this?

They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss?"

"Why, that looks so unique, inspired!

They're gathering around to hear a story."

"Roasting chestnuts on a fire, What's this?"

"What's this? In here they've got a little tree, how queer,

And who would ever think, and why?"

"They're covering it with tiny little things,

They've got electric lights on strings."

"And there's a smile on everyone,

So, now, correct me if I'm wrong."

"This looks like fun, this looks like fun,

Oh, could it be, I got my wish?"

"What's this?"

"Oh my, what now? The children are asleep,

But look, there's nothing underneath, no ghouls."

"No witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them,

Only little cozy things secure inside their dreamland" (sighs)

"What's this!?"

"The monsters are all missing, And the nightmares can't be found.

And in their place there seems to be good feelings all around!"

"Instead of screams, I swear I can hear music in the air.

The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere..."

"The sights, the sounds, they're everywhere and all around,

I've never felt so good before, this empty place inside of me is filling up. I simply cannot get enough."

"I want it, oh, I want it, oh, I want it for my own,

I've got to know, I've got to know."

"What is this place that I have found?"

"WHAT...IS...THIS?!"

(Fievel, Jack and Khyler all happily ran through the street until they hit a sign post, which made them fall over. When they got up they looked up at the sign, which read...)

Jack Skellington: Christmas Town? Hmmm.

(Then a whistle is heard causing all three of them to hide behind the sign post.)

Santa Claus: Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho!

Jack Skellington: Hmm?
