Later, when Jack has left, Sally hears the news of the military being called in to stop Jack, and she resolves to go and find Santa Claus, discovering him in Oogie's lair. Yet, Sally's plan doesn't work, because of Zero's glowing nose. On Christmas Eve as Jack is about to set off, Sally pours fog juice into the town square fountain, creating a thick-as-jellied-brains fog all around, grounding Jack. When she tells of this to Jack, he fails to take the warning seriously. Afterwards, Sally plucks the petals off a forget-me-not, which then transforms before her eyes into a miniature Christmas tree and suddenly bursts into flames: a premonition of things to come. Sally gives the basket to Jack, but runs away due to her immense bashfulness. Unable to remain in captivity any longer, Sally puts some food and drink in a basket and lowers it onto the ground, and jumps out after it. She goes back home to the lab again and the Doctor locks Sally in her bedroom. She hears about the town meeting after Jack returns to town and poisons the doctor again before leaving to go to the town meeting where Jack tells about his experiences in the land of Christmas. She then follows Jack all the way to Spiral Hill, listening to his song. To escape, she pulls the thread on her arm and leaves it behind dismembered, as she runs off. After the Halloween celebration, the Doctor catches her and tries to drag her back to the lab. In the movie, Sally has barely any freedom, although she frequently runs away from Doctor Finklestein, her creator.

Sally is voiced by Catherine O'Hara in the original film and by Kath Soucie in the Kingdom Hearts series and Oogie's Revenge. Given the ending of the movie, it can be assumed that these children are Jack and Sally's.

He discovered that Jack had 'four or five skeleton children at hand' who play together in a xylophone band. The official film soundtrack contains an epilogue not in the film, stating that 'many years later' Santa Claus returned to Halloween Town to visit 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. Sally has a crush on Jack Skellington, but is unsuccessful in showing her affections to Jack. Thus, when she wants to go out, she poisons the doctor with deadly nightshade (covered up with worm's wart and frog's breath) and sneaks out. As the most cherished creation of the doctor, she is always under lock and key. After some of her limbs become detached upon impact, she sews them back on and limps for only a short while.

This is demonstrated in the movie when she leaps from her upstairs bedchamber in Finklestein's Lab. She is made of various pieces stitched together, with dead leaves used as stuffing it is unlikely that she feels any physical pain. Sally is the deuteragonist of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. ~ Santa Claus to Jack referring to Sally. She's the only one who makes sense around this insane asylum!
