Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

utgard14 I'm a huge Ray Bradbury fan so I was excited to see this animated adaptation of his great novel The Halloween Tree. Bradbury himself scripted this movie and even provided the narration. The story is magical, poetic, and even educational. I would recommend it for parents to share with their kids. It's beautiful.Interestingly, Bradbury wrote the novel after he had collaborated on a Halloween Tree screenplay with the great Chuck Jones for an animated film that never came to be. As pleasant and enjoyable as the animation is in this version, one can only wonder how amazing the collaboration between two greats of their respective mediums would have been.

Sarah Jane It's true, they don't make Halloween specials like the did when I was a kid, and I'm not even that old (21). I think it's heartbreaking that they don't air classics like this one anymore. The cartoon centers around 4 children who travel the world, and through history with Mr. Moundshroud to learn about the costumes they wear each Halloween. Kids learn about why we dress a certain way, and how other cultures celebrate this 'spooky' holiday. The movie is fun but also sad, as we are constantly reminded that a friend of the children (Pipkin I believe) is dying. They must catch his pumpkin and return it to the Halloween Tree. They must also sacrifice something of themselves to save their beloved friend.

martin-baird 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.

mpatt This perfect gem of a movie is indescribible. It is touching ,poetic ,excellent in performances and plotting. Leonard Nimoy is astounding as Moundshroud ,the music score was brilliant. I think Ray Bradbury deserves great credit. This film won an Emmy (one it was damn deserving of). This is what I consider the smartest move I ever made when buying a video. I was not Dissapointed. Bradbury Rules. The book is great too.
