I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Absolutely brilliant

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

First, I'm going to say that if you haven't read Ray Bradbury's masterpiece, "The Halloween Tree," go buy it and read it through and through, especially the copy illustrated by Joseph Mugnaini originally published in 1972 by Alfred A. Knopf, Publishing. (The story was originally conceived with co-author, animator, Chuck Jones as a screenplay by Bradbury in 1967). This is some of the best and most poetic of Bradbury's writings. Before the great animation factory of Hanna-Barbera finally closed its doors, they managed to produce this gem of a story using updated and original material and the voice of the author himself as the narrator. The combination of voices and the memorable theme music penned by John Debney, including the great Lenard Nimoy as the magical, chilling, informative, yet somehow comforting Mr. Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud, embellishes the animated version with a breezy, leaf filled Fall season feel of warm humanity. At once educational and entertaining, this is one of the greatest and least appreciated features from television's stellar collection of seasonal classics. Like Disney's "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh," from 1964, I expect that someday Warner Brothers will clean up a copy of this motion picture and distribute it on DVD for the sake of its production quality alone. And, were I a producer with a reasonable budget, I could think of no better challenge than to translate this incredible story to live action, hopefully remaining faithful to the heart and soul of Bradbury's original concept.

I have finally found the name of this movie!I have searched for a long time with no success. Now that I have found it I have to say that The Haloween Tree is one of the best movies about Halloween that I have ever seen. My family would always watch it on TV at our Halloween party, but I was so young at the time I didn't care about the title but this movie is a great Halloween classic and I recommend it to anyone who loves the classics. Even though the animation isn't top notch high-def, it is still a very enjoyable movie with a good plot line. I think that somehow someone needs to get this great classic back on air. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown has been running for a long time and is a classic, I believe that The Halloween Tree should be shown along with that as a Halloween special.

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.

The most Insightful and Delightful Halloween Movie I have EVER seen! As always, Ray BradBury Rocks! This movie takes Halloween to the next level by explaining the true origins of the Holiday throughout notable parts of the world. Narrarated by one of my favorite actors, Leonard Nimoy, (Mr. Spock) A delight for Children and Adults Alike! Grab your popcorn, and your family for this awesome depiction of Halloween History, Folks!!! May I suggest reading the original Book? It also Rocks!
