Featured reviews
This is greater than any number. Infinity is lackluster to describe the rating this movie deserves. Should be revered by all as the greatest movie of all time and as such it should be the first movie shown to extra terrestrials on their arrival to our amazing planet. This movie can solve world hunger and all should see it.
Short and sweet review just like the movie. Misfit pumpkin whose not accepted by other more traditionally shaped pumpkins in the patch has to overcome bla bla bla. It's a poor man's Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer. But it's message of acceptance is one that you'd appreciate your child hearing. Definitely a tad juvenile....I'd say 2-7 years old would be the best audience. Animation had a cheap feel to it but my son watched this multiple times over the years and tonight I'm watching it in its entirety with him. Yet he still seems entertained at age 9, so how bad could it be? Sometimes OK....is OK I guess.
This movie is supposed to be all about not judging someone based on their appearance but is nothing but rip-offs and lazy "humor" even by toddler standards. They have TWO "slow" or intellectually challenged characters that are played for laughs which again is lazy and runs against the "don't judge" message. They have TWO Joe Pesci from Goodfellas rip-off characters. They also rip-off the Olympic games for some reason. Terrible songs, terrible animation, terrible voice acting. My young child thought it was "okay" and I thought it was a very long 45 minutes.
We've all been pretty spoiled by Disney/Pixar, DreamWorks, etc. This short feature is something my kids have been enjoying for several years now. It has a good message (comparable to the Rudolph story), there's no political angle, and has some fun music interludes. I won't bore anyone with some drawn out critique on why I think this doesn't meet my standards. It doesn't matter. It's not the best holiday cartoon, but it's certainly not the worst. My kids like it and there's nothing controversial about it. End of story.
My daughter absolutely loves this one and the music ( I don't care for the music) Bottom line the story is cute with a great message! My lo watched this as many times as it aired on our cable network so I'd say we saw this about 30 times during Halloween season. If you have a child under 3 I bet they'll really enjoy the cartoon.
