You know rewatching this movie recently, Sophie seemed a lot more powerful than Marnie. She’s clairvoyant, her spell casting is more affective and they actually work

[@dicedtulips8976]

edit*. Sophie was good at wanting/wishing for things and letting herself have them. The grandma said something like this when Marnie asked how she is riding a broom, "It's wanting things and letting yourself have it!".

[@WolverineLovesMe]

I think a lot of this is because Marnie is so stifled. Her mother embraces the mundane and 'normal' to the point that Dylan, even when faced with all the magic, still tries to dismiss it. Marnie was behind the curve magically speaking because she'd gone so long without the proper tutelage or encouragement. At the beginning of the movie if I remember correctly Marnie does a small bit of magic, so it's clear that her mother couldn't keep it from her forever yet she attempted to purely for her own selfish reasons - i.e. the mom was just over being a witch/Halloweentown?? Sophie, on the other hand, being a lot younger still had a lot of childlike wonder left. So it was much easier for her to seamlessly slide into the magical realm because she had no weird emotional or mental hang-ups yet.

[@devon1777]

i actually always thought she was more powerful. even as a kid i always felt bad for sophie because she was very powerful and was able to perform like spells without even knowing what they were but she never got any real recognition

[@4everbuffylover]

If i remember correctly, Marnie also had those kind of abilities at Sophie's age, but her mother suppressed them.

[@onijester56]

Magic weakens without use, to the point that by a witch's 16th birthday if they don't accept it and embrace it fully, if they don't claim their heritage, they lose it forever. In fact this is the very argument at the start of the film between Marnie's mother and grandmother. This makes Sophie, a child still bound by the constraints of only her imagination, more willing to demand and thus even unintentionally obtain the things she desires. Specifically through magic. Meanwhile, Marnie knows/uses three or four spells throughout the entirefitdy movie she can rely on.

[@iamSimplyAJ]

I remember when it was just released. Grew up watching it every Halloween. And now it’s tradition to watch Halloweentown and Halloweentown II. The others are irrelevant. Also, a Halloweentown Prequel would be great! Based on Gwen. How she falls in love with a mortal man. Despite Kalabar trying to exist for Gwen. I’m sure Kalabar was a stuck up teen. Too good and too tough. But Gwen just wants something different. And here she comes into the mortal world. How’s that for a movie!

[@MidnightRose.]

Knowing her character, I feel like a prequel based on her would be pretty bland. Considering that the main reason why she left Halloween Town was because she HATED everything about it. Though it would be interesting to see how different the grandma was as a mother. I imagine the grandma was more understanding of Gwen’s feelings and accepted her decision to move away, even though she didn’t agree with it. Versus Gwen who is controlling of her children. I think that the reason why Gwen hated Halloween Town so much was because she was too normal compared to the other creatures, perceiving them all as freaks and thought she was better than them.

[@violetlavi2207]

@@MidnightRose. why would she think the creatures are freaks? That’s not shown anywhere in her character. I think it’s more likely that she saw HERSELF as the freak/odd one out, and she found someone who didn’t care that she wasn’t as “interesting” as the other Halloweentown creatures, so she left Halloweentown behind for the mortal world, where she could just be normal and be like everyone else. If she thought she was better than the people of Halloweentown, she never would’ve left, nor would she have been happy to bury her powers

[@AlyssHarte]

@@MidnightRose. ehhh, I see it more as little mermaid type of thing. teenager longs for a world unknown and forbidden and absolutely fascinating that she’s obsessed with. since she only stopped using magic after her mortal husband died, i’m guessing his death had magic involved somehow hence her freaking out and deciding that she would never use her powers again and the kids would never know. as the movies progress, she gets more comfortable with using her magic again and i really don’t think that’s a coincidence when you consider her kids, the embodiment of their mortal father, have embraced magic and Halloweentown and she’s able to heal and enjoy magic again instead of being scared of it.

[@Redamhcs]

The only issue I have with points 1 & 3 you made at the end there is…Gwen Cromwell didn’t know that Kalibar was evil until halfway through the movie. Her real motivations were probably that she fell in love with a human and the human world is all her kids know, and let’s be honest, Halloweentown is like a small town. No room to grow, not a lot of jobs probably, not a lot of romantic options, and she probably wants her kids to have more opportunities than she did. Her error, of course, is not letting her kids have a say, not letting them choose for themselves.

[@MidnightRose.]

I see Gwen as the type of parent that chooses their children’s careers for them and completely disregard their own interests. Let your kids be who they want to be! She even tried to guilt trip Marny in the second movie by accusing her of turning against her mother, just because Marny chose to practice magic.

[@TheOstrichOrginization]

Yes

[@digifreak90]

Yeah, had she been trying to "get away from creepy Kalibar" she wouldn't have had such a positive reaction to finding out that he was the mayor. And she didn't find out about his 'take over the human world' plot until literally the last few minutes. Her biggest issue is that she's choosing to keep her family from knowing their heritage, and she was trying to prevent Marnie and Sophie from becoming witches by not training them. Had Marnie not overheard her and Aggie arguing, she would have lost her powers completely.

Ah, 30. The age where you're still technically young, but for some reason everyone expects you to be mature all of a sudden.

[@phuck8627]

all this sudden? right...

[@nathanjora7627]

Eric Naylor nah, that’s 20-27 yo. At 30, you are supposed to have been somewhat autonomous for 10 years, minimum, so it’s kinda normal to expect 30 yo to be mature.

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

@@nathanjora7627 10 years at least is a bit much. 8 years max sounds more reasonable.

[@nathanjora7627]

Vlad 117 why 8 years ? Did you leave your parents’ home at 22 ? Because when I spoke about « some » autonomy, that’s more or less what I meant. And people generally leave their parents’ home at an age ranging from 16 to 20. At least in France, I don’t know for the US, but I don’t see why it should be all that different. Now, if we are talking about financial autonomy (so full autonomy), then yeah, you gotta push these numbers up, to something like 18-25.

[@hannahsmith1768]

The only question I have that I still ask myself about the movie is how Sofie actually got on the bus... If grandma went through the side door and Marnie and Dylan went through the back of the bus, how did Sofie get on? All of your other questions could be answered with magic.

The mom is also by far the best actor of the group.

The mom is the only character whose emotions and reactions feel genuine and realistic.

[@loganlibby7468]

That’s Judith Hoag. She was the first live action April O’niel. She is actually a pretty good actress and she did well in TMNT (1990) buuuut she didn’t like how dark the finished product was with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and basically downgraded herself to more family oriented films. Even though HalloweenTown has some dark moments it’s not nearly as gritty as TMNT was. So yeah, her and Debby Reynolds’s are basically your most seasoned actresses here.

I mean, Calabar isn't a demon, just a Warlock utilizing either a transfiguration spell or a Glamour to hide his appearance. Also, Aggie and Gwen working together couldn't defeat him while he held, and was subsequently drawing power from, Merlin's Talisman. It took the combined magic of the entire living Cromwell family to overwhelm him. Without the talisman I suspect Aggie could defeat him, the only reason why she didn't defeat him in the movie theater was because she was trying to get information from him and she got distracted by her family coming in.

That's probably true for every Law & Order, now that I think about it. Their child actors are usually good and look familiar sometimes.

Somehow I can't bring myself to agree (While trying not to look through rose tinted glasses). Essentially the story is that her children are half "Witch" half human, one half of themselves is never told to them and kept from them. So her mom is essentially taking away her right to even know about her birth right. It's like if adopted parents didn't let their 13 year old know that their biological mother was dying of cancer and wanted to say goodbye or something. (sorry probably a bad anology) To the point of wanting them to have "normal lives" and "go to school" they still do that even after they begin learning about magic, so literally she kept this from them for no other reason than the fact that she didn't want to be reminded of her heritage.

[@katiebayliss9887]

In a crazy fantasy world where you can be half witch there fucking is. That's the whole beginning of fucking Harry Potter. His aunt and uncle are horrible people that don't even tell him he has magic and try to actively keep it from him out of spite and jealousy. Don't argue over semantics.

With Kalabar’s motivations, I never took it as him doing this because Gwen dumped him. When that scene happened, that’s the first time he sees her when he’s his true self. So even tho Gwen says “Why Kalabar?” I never took it as him answering the question. My POV was that he was just venting. He was close to defeat, heard Gwen speak, and saw an opportunity to confess on how she chose wrong. I say this is how I interpreted it because he does explain his motivation earlier during his big reveal. He thinks the Halloweentown folk have been wronged forced to live in another dimension and they should take the world back as rightfully their own. But anyways that’s how I’ve always seen it.
