Spookley the Square Pumpkin

This is my favourite children's film since Thomas And The Magic Railroad. My three year old likes it too but not as much as me. The story of a pumpkin who is held back from success because of his shape, this is an absolute must-see! There are very few spooky cartoons that work for the under-5 age group (Scooby Doo, of course), and fewer still than manage to do something interesting with Hallowe'en, but Spooklee hits the mark. It manages to celebrate the festival without being in any way disturbing, but is not saccharine either. I only bought it because it was going cheap in a Woolworth's clear-out but even if I'd paid full whack I wouldn't have been disappointed.

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.

At my school system, it is required to watch Spookly EVERY YEAR, K-12. While that is a problem with my school system, it would be better if I didn't vomit every time I saw this dumpster fire. The graphics are comparable to Super Mario 64, the plot is convoluted. The only thing that tries to redeem this is the voice acting. The "Disability" plot is a little too deep for grade schoolers, and the "Jack-A-Lymipcs" are just filler, and have no point other to add plot points. Several students agree with me on these points. Again, I may just be a tired student bored with this movie and have grown to resent this movie.

OK this movie is absolutely unnatural. why the heck is the pumpkin a square. Who comes up with the idea of a messed up pumpkin and decides that it will be bullied for being abnormal. On top of that why can the plants talk and move by themselves. Are they sentient? i would rather watch a 12 hour long documentary of a still image of a plant. This movies thoroughly disturbs me and i cant get the sentient pumpkins out of my nightmares. So whatever you do, please do not watch this horrible movie

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.
