One of my all time favorites.

hyped garbage

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I think this is the best movie ever cause when i first saw halloweentown i totally loved it and then when i saw halloweentown 2:Kalabar's Revenge i totally loved it too. and if you haven't seen the first halloweentown then you probably won't understand halloweentown 2:Kalabar's Revenge.*MARNIE CROMWELL*

I've seen the first movie and this one. They are both enlightening and entertaining. The actors portrayed a great job with their character roles.As soon as I saw when Marnie and her grandmother travelled back to Halloweentown and found it all gray, boring and in ruins, it really reminded me of another movie sequel I've seen somewhere else. It really had a symbolic meaning to "The Wizard of Oz's" 1985 sequel, "The Return to Oz", where pretty much the same thing happens. The heroine returns and finds her "hometown" and must fight the evil lead character to bring it back to normality and give it its zest of life. It was was symbolic and interesting. If you haven't seen "Return to Oz" (a Disney movie that's labeled as being 'dark'), I would recommend you watch it and lightly compare it with "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge." I liked that!Great job, Disney!

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I ran into this movie while waiting to go do something else. After about an hour I got caught up in this silly movie and had to see it through. I can get caught up in a made-for-TV movie for some reason and actually enjoy it but hate a full-blown big name movie with a better plot, I guess it's the lack of an expectation or something. The effects were good, pretty much close to what you'd see in a TV drama with lots of effects. Some of the strange looking people of Halloweentown have makeup good enough to appear in a modern scifi show while others look like they're wearing a cheap big rubber mask. All-in-all, the effects are definately good enough for kids. The plot? OK, not spectacular but alright for a child's movie but the cast really carries this movie, you actually LIKE the characters. SPOILER ALERT: Defeating the villian involves time travel, a plot device which is just asking for plot holes. The main purpose of the movie is to defeat the villian by midnight otherwise the Piper family can't get back home...but if you can travel in time the time constrant is meaningless! If you can travel back in time why bother beating the villian after they've done their evil deed? Why not just go back in time and stop them from doing what they did? I guess I'm thinking to hard over this kiddie movie but it's OK.

I'm really not sure how I wound up watching this one; After all, I despised the first movie. But somehow I always wind up watching the Disney Channel. And I have to say that I was really impressed by this one! It was just... different than the first. I thought the characters were more developed, and they weren't acting like idiots. And the plot... wow, this one actually had a plot.
