The Nightmare Before Christmas[]
During the musical number "Oogie Boogie's Song", they slowly came up to Santa Claus attempting to shoot him before Oogie pulled Santa away.
They are seen later on during Jack's rescue to save Sally and Santa from Oogie Boogie in his lair, when Oogie pulled a chain to activate the One-Armed Bandits to shoot Jack on Oogie's orders. However, Jack dodged their shots by balancing himself on top of their guns and Oogie was forced to run the opposite direction the roulette wheel was spinning to avoid the crossfire before leaping forward to press a button on a skull-shaped panel (with a string on Oogie's arm snagging on the skull's teeth which will eventually lead to his unraveling) that activates a saw to slice Jack, the blade cut off each of the One-Armed Bandits' arm in their defeat.
