Halloweentown Review

[@zooemperor3954]

Actually, Marnie has powers. She just had difficulty with them because she hadn’t gained any training. Sophie on the other hand, was the youngest and was the most connected to her powers. But yeah, it was a missed opportunity.

[@Shamandigi62091]

So the mom’s stupidity could have killed them

[@zooemperor3954]

Jack Sullivan Yes and no. The mom could’ve trained them in the rare event that the events that unfolded in the film did happen, and Marnie shouldn’t have snuck out of the house with her siblings. And yes, Sophie could’ve been the savior of this film Bobsheaux.

[@Bobsheaux]

The closest thing to a "power" she has is deja vu. Everyone has deja vu, and HER deja vu doesn't enter the story in any way whatsoever. She has no powers.

[@Shamandigi62091]

I think she has powers in the squeals

[@hikoonthecouch6527]

@@zooemperor3954 ...... they were draining, as in her powers were weak because mom is against child freedom. Training them and giving them the choice was the better move from the start. If she found out after losing her powers, Marnie wouldn't have resented her for the rest of there lives for doing so. Trust me, kids can hate sheltering parents more then physical abusers.

[@HiperPivociarz]

If I had magic powers, and my mother kept it a secret from me, I would be pissed too. And they were denied Halloween all their life. Like, I get Marnie. She is needlessly whiny, true, but I get it. Magic. Powers.

[@jenneacoleman-cubero2365]

To be honest, the grandma and Sophie were my favorites while both Marnie and the mom annoyed me. They constantly bicker with Marnie being mouthy and the mom being a Debbie-Downer who didn't even tell her kids about their own heritage. How could it be protecting them? Did it ever occur to her that they could have found out from the wrong people? At least when Ariel had this conflict with Melody it was because there was a threat and Melody had more humility.

[@sarahsims6164]

I agree with the many other comments before me, Marnie's mother wasn't innocent at all in the majority of this movie; one plot that I've always hated is parents keeping secrets from their children. It's better to just be honest with them and explain why they made their choices instead of risking losing them when they find out for themselves.

[@VCMarilyn]

like what did she think was going to happen when her daughter found out she had powers but lost them because her mom made that choice for her. And to make it worst the mother still has her powers but chooses not to use them.

[@Shojoboy]

Couldn’t agree more. Especially when you keep in mind, both Marnie and Sophie had interest in Magic and yet their mother decides “I don’t want them to have powers because I personally don’t want that in my life anymore”

[@Mike0908]

you mentioned how marnie doesn't have powers and you're right. they're kinda of dormant in marnie and dylan. aggie/grandma said a witch's thirteen year is supposed to mark the end of their training which would mean the older you go without practicing the weaker your powers get. which was the mother's plan. that's why sophie's powers are the strongest since she's so young. dylan being younger than marnie explains why he has a little power near the end. i see him as he's trying to grow up too fast and actions/reasons more like an adult than a kid would. so he's rationalizing how he believes. that's how once upon a time put it. the way a child believes and an adult believes are different. the sequels devleop them more and marnie has powers. although th e sad thing is sophie's barely in the third one and not even in the fourth one.

[@theshipper5797]

Yeah, and its parents like this that never think that NOT telling them the truth would make things work. Say Marnie accidentally turned a girl into a frog when she got older and she was a teenager. How well do you think that would go when she finds out their family has magic only NOW when she's almost a young adult? Not very good that's what.

Actually marnie having such a hard time with magic makes sense. She went so long believing she is human and is at risk of losing her magic. It's also implied in future movies and even hinted in this one that she thinks to much like a mortal rather than a witch. Sophie is young and has the most imagination and thus it makes sense magic comes easier to her.

[@ladypool1404]

So the mother never told their kids they have magic powers and prevent them from celebrating Halloween? Wow this lady is a terrible parent! She also never told them about the evil wizard. The grandma would but i guess her daughter make her promise to never speak of Halloweentown. Not a good way to protect your kids if they don't know there's a danger.

So are you going to review the sequels

[@whichcache2517]

2:16 Color Guard? I get that’s supposed to be a slight at how she seems to bright and peppy to care about Halloween, but actually training for Color Guard and seeing the Color Guard are two different experiences. And that’s coming from a guy who was in the marching band itself. To be honest though, that’s not really what the Halloween Town series is all about. The recurring theme that’s been posited throughout embodies how millenia of folklore surrounding monsters and how they’re wicked, terrifying existences that exist to torment humankind has all been a matter of bad history and stereotyping. Ultimately, it’s existences like Kalabar or the Knights of the Iron Dagger who exist to engender the divide between both races, or try to rule dominion over all. I don’t believe they did it in some bright and cheery attempt to handhold the children watching, but perhaps serve as a misguided attempt at showing the viewers how prejudice can affect how we view people. But at least I can tell you that the writing gets better in the sequels (Marnie gets less annoying as well).

[@Hanako-Kun-t9b]

I feel like this movie could be remade. The changes would be turning the youngest into the protagonist while keeping her personality the same. The oldest could be powerless and be jealous of her younger siblings who have powers. The middle child can still be skeptical and be in denial of his own powers. Perhaps he even believes everything that is happening in front of him is a dream till something actually dangerous happens to the mother and grandmother that convinces him to change his mind. Make halloweentown dark and spooky and have the human world be bright and colourful to contrast it. Also I would give the mother a stronger reason as to why she chooses to not train or tell her children about halloweentoen. The reason I came up with is the monsters in halloweentown have started to flood into the human world and started kidnapping families whose children are super natural. The mother chooses not to train her children because she knows if she does they will get kidnapped and brought to halloweentown to use as sacrifices for the main villains plan which is take control of haloweentown and have humans fear monsters. The main villain will be someone running for mayor and he gets a group of supporters who like his ideas. Basically I would make haloweentown a lot more twisted and dark. The mother and grandmother could get into some sort of danger trying to save the children. The children mange to escape and you can still have the storyline of them having to find the wand and create a spell to save their loved ones.

[@sarah98917]

I feel like the mom should care that her childhood home could be in danger. She may have, as Marnie said, "moved on" but it's still her home

[@jakefry4204]

How's this for a better character arc? What if instead of wanting to be special, Marnie discovers here grandmother's amazing magical talents and wants to be like her, only to discover her true talents. During the course of the movie, Marnie is shown to have trouble harnessing any kind of magic, while Sophie seems to be a whiz at it. However, when they're making the brew, Sophie seems to only have a vague idea about cooking, while Marnie, given her mother mentoring her in the art of cooking, is able to help out without braking a sweat. During the final battle, Marnie tries to use all her training to confront Kalabar, but can't even pull off anything. Luckily, Sophie, with her greater expertise with magic, is able to light the Jack-o-Lantern and wish Kalabar to go away. Afterwards, Sophie is celebrated as a hero to all of Halloweentown, leaving Marnie with nothing. Not even a participation award. After sulking off, believing that she's useless to Halloweentown or Earth, Sophie comforts her, saying that while she may not be worthy of being a witch, she did notice her skills in cooking when making the brew. Essentially, she tells her sister that she's better off as a cook. After seeing that her sister was right while making another brew, she fully gets the message that we're all special, but we just need to discover how we're special.

[@becuaseimbored3481]

To be fair, I was into spooky stuff as a kid and I didn't dress goth.

[@VCMarilyn]

No I still see the mother as the bad guy. Regardless of her trying to keep her kids safe, what she really wants is a normal life for her. Which is great since she chose that lifer herself, but her kids didn't. They have powers which were inherited from her and she's making the choice for them to loose them before they even knew they had them, which I always find to be selfish. Like what if it wasn't power what if it was money. Like if she came from a rich household with lots of influence and chose to live a life of struggle because she enjoys the simple life. Say her mom dies and she knew her daughter didn't want money so she left it to her grandchildren. But the mom made the decision to take the money from the grandmother and give it away without even telling them about it. Like 5 million each and she just it gave away. I get that that she would want her kids to work hard for the things they want in life but she didn't even give them an opportunity to do anything to see what they would choose if given a choice.

Travelbound He does know about it. He had a clip of the intro in his "Huggabunch" review.

OMG I use to watch that all the time as a kid!

What Dcoms do you think could work on the big screen .?

[@gracekim1998]

Happy Halloween! Time for memories!

Between this and the SantaPaws movies, I am beginning to get the feeling that Bob has a definite preference for cutesy wutesy widdle girl characters in his schlocky Disney movies.

She’s draws monsters during school? She must be a problem child according to where I live, I drew a haunted house in December once and it’s still on my school record...

[@shwahgamer]

Yeah it'd make sense if the mom was mad at her for clearly not paying attention in class and getting poor grades. That could have been a legitimate reason for her to say "You can't go to the party." Then it wouldn't look to the kids like mom just hates Halloween for no reason.

@@shwahgamer the mom coulda just celebrated cinco de mayo instead, Unless cinco de mayo town exists… something to appease them bastards, She could’ve also tried scaring them from it, telling them hundreds of fake “true” stories to make them terrified of it

[@onyxqueenrockin1308]

Right...turn kids off of Halloween, except for the people who like this movie and look forward to it every year. Honestly, hon, you take this too seriously.

[@MovieMadness23]

I remember this movie quite fondly and I’m sure I’m not the only one who considers it a classic i remember watching this every year on Disney channel also Next year you should review the haunted mansion movie with Eddie Murphy

[@declanhinshaw4791]

Redbandit I live where this was filmed

[@MovieMadness23]

Pulse01 really? That’s really cool, so I’ll bet this movie holds a special place in your heart huh.

[@rachaelbeth3119]

I did watch Halloween town every year for years.... more than hocus-pocus actually

[@MovieMadness23]

Thing 1 & Thing 2 The Media Maniacs you are aware that I’m talking about the movie right? Not the ride

[@HiperPivociarz]

Bob, if you learned you had awesome powers, and unless you train in the matter of two days, you will lose them, wouldn't you want to train?

[@caseypittman9950]

Time works differently in Halloween Town? So is it on another planet or is this place in The Warp?

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

Anyone else notice how quiet this movie's sound design is?

[@Jarod-sm5rf]

This movie brings back good memories.

[@tlsupport5068]

Are the Dcom films represented in Disney theme parks as Halloween town could be a nice walk through .
