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 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.

This is absolutely my favorite holiday movie ever, be it Christmas, Halloween, or whatever. It is shown on The Cartoon Network every Halloween. It is an adventure story which takes children and adults alike on an intoxicating journey of human history and shows how Halloween came into being. The movie teaches the audience that friendship is one of the strongest human bonds, and people will go to the ends of the Earth, literally, to protect it. There are some differences between the movie and the book, but nothing that will distract from the viewing experience. The narrator for this tale is Ray Bradbury, and who better than he to tell his own story. Leonard Nimoy is the voice of the wicked Moundshround. One of the wonderful things about this movie is that it was made in 1993 and is actually animated, it's not CG! I rate this movie a 10, a animation masterpiece!
