Watch The Halloween Tree For Free

Sick Product of a Sick System

Don't Believe the Hype

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

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!

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.

A film was made from a superior book. Those who enjoy the Hallowe'en holiday often not have much of an idea of its roots, and Ray Bradbury turns a sympathetic eye towards various Hallowe'en traditions.That the film is an animated one suggests rather strongly that it was aimed squarely at the younger set, but the cartoon medium allows a certain chaotic underpinning that facilitates transitions in time and space.Children going out to Trick Or Treat, less one member of the gang, known as Pipkin. A house they visit looks very spooky, and has in its yard a tree festooned with Jack O'Lanterns. The person whom they meet is the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud. The strange grownup introduces them to various Hallowe'en traditions, taking them on trips through time and space. This is magical, but not spooky in the scary sense.The fate of Pipkin is bound up in this, as the children learn. They also get a thorough grounding on many aspects of Hallowe'en, as do the viewers.A good film for the season.
