Spookley the Square Pumpkin

Nothing brings the spooky season vibes quite like spookily the square pumpkin. It was a staple in all of our childhoods. The themes of this wonderful show help kids to understand the importance of including everyone and being kind to others. Spookily could not help the fact that he was square yet he was able to overcome his disabilities and save the farm. Spooky the square pumpkin is the Jack-O-Lymipcs hall of fame and we all need to put some respect on spooky's name. The fact that people would vote this blessed show a 1/10 is comical. If you dont like spookily it is indeed a YOU problem. Long live the pumpkin king.

The thing is, this movie basically has almost no substance or plot whatsoever. The summary of it is: Pumpkin olympics on a farm. Thats it. The characters are all weird or creepy, like how a spider literally hits on a bat, or how theres 2 pumpkins that are conjoined twins. Not only that, but the movie also seems to be a bit biased on characters (or it's just the scarecrow's stupidity). Thing is, Big Tom and Little Tom (the conjoined twins) attend the pumpkin olympics, but their conjoinedness makes them unable to do some things that single pumpkins can do. As a result they get disqualified for it and funny it may be, it was more funny to see the scarecrow being entirely stupid, rather than me going full on schadenfruede on the 2 pumpkins. But when weather changes in a blink of an eye, and fire somehow forms in the rain, this movie follows physics on a whole other level, to the point where it's irritating and it makes you think: "If so and so character just did so and so like, 2 seconds longer they wouldn't need Spookley to intervene and save them". Also as much as how thunderstorms can produce wind speeds high enough to knock pumpkins around, it doesn't make sense because even if it's the whole "cartoon not being real", I would expect the whole farm to be wiped out in like 2 minutes.

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.

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.

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.
