A waste of 90 minutes of my life
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I love this movie. I loved this movie when I was a child and I still love this movie. Its educational in its own way. Not really the traditional way, but it gets the point across. Although I can only find it in VHS. Not to mention not all movie stores carry it, I had to go to two. But for anyone who likes Halloween they should check it out. I really don't have anything else to say, but sense you have to write at least ten lines. I'll think of some more things, like they have four children as the main characters and the movie teaches about sickness and how it could affect children. Some scenes may be a little scary for smaller children.
I love animation from Hanna-Barbera along with Disney, Rankin-Bass, Fleischer Studios, Studio Ghibli and Nelvana Ltd. and also Halloween is my favorite holiday. I thought this is the best Halloween film/special from Hanna-Barbera. I was lucky to taped it, because they don't seem to air it on TV anymore along with other classics, DAMN!Have any of you ever wonder how Halloween started? Well in this film, all answers will be reveal as four friends and a shadowy character travel back in time; 4000 years to be precise to save their friend's spirit and learn about the mysteries of Halloween. I have read the original novel by Ray Bradbury (who is also the narrator in the film). Also my mom and I would read it together every October before Halloween. And afterwards "The Halloween Tree" became one of my favorite books and films as well.
This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen and I recommend it to anyone of any age who likes Halloween. It is an awesome story of friendship, discovery, and mystery. Ray Bradbury wrote a masterpiece and it was made into a fantastic film. I have watched it since I was very young and still watch it over and over every year. I think that anyone of any age will enjoy this movie. It does not follow what some call the "Halloween plot" of children going trick or treating the entire night. It is different but prodigious. The children save their friend while learning the history of Halloween. The ending is one of the best parts, but I hate to see that part of the movie because it is the end. I seriously recommend this movie to watch on Halloween, or even any part of the year. I love it.
A truly wonderful animation following the exploits of four children who learn the true meanings and reasons we celebrate Halloween as they travel through time to learn why we celebrate All Hallows Eve (Halloween). Dressed as a Skeleton a Witch a Mummy And a Werewolf the Children race through time and different cultures to save their friend from the grip of the Evil yet wonderfully portrayed Mr Moundshroud! Leanord Nimoy (Spock from Star Trek) is Excellent at portraying the role or Mr Moundshroud. A must for the whole family as it is as educational for the Children as it is heart warming for the Child in us all.
