It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

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.

Children and adults alike will adore this great movie about the origins of Halloween and other similar holidays around the world. The animation creates a near pitch-perfect Halloween and deep autumnal mood and Ray Bradbury's narration contributes considerably to the nostalgic Halloween mood. The movie doesn't contain anything that would offend most children or that the parents of these children wouldn't want their kids to see. I wouldn't exactly call it a history lesson but it does provide context to the Halloween holiday in a very entertaining way with splendid animation that sets the mood throughout.I don't let a single Halloween pass without making a big bowl of popcorn and watching The Halloween Tree on a dark October night. I do this by myself as a grown adult which should speak to its quality. Give it a try and I am willing to wager that it will become a new seasonal favorite, well worth the excessive price you might pay for a VHS over the internet.

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.
