Wow. My mom is obsessed with this movie and forced me to see it with her in imax, which has surround sound. The movie starts and all I can think is where can I get myself a 200I dvd that comes with a free fannypak. have never in my life been so pumped . I don’t understand what went into the minds of the people who made this, but I sure want to give them my sincerest thanks. Really, it was 3 1/2 hours well spent. I mean, 30 minutes of silence, watching a guy walk around a spaceship, genius. Thanks 2001, look forward to 2002, I’m already getting tickets.

I am usually a huge fan of corny Disney movies bc they can be funny to watch. But now Halloween town was something else. A truly Top quality movie to expose your kids to. Heres why. The movie starts off with the mom telling the kids that they can't go outside for trick or treating. Later in the movie it is never clearly addressed why this is. We can assume it's so the kids don't find out that they are magical or whatever they are, also never addressed. And how is not allowing them to do "Halloween" going to lessen that realization. Then we see a magic school bus pull up. Ms. Frizzle, is that you? Of course not silly me, Ms. Frizzle doesn't have an umbrella and a magic suitcase, it's Mary Poppins. Well actually, it's the magical Grammy pulling up to encourage the kids to run away her her to Halloween town. The kids get to the town, and somehow the youngest kid was "sleeping" so that's why we didn't see her in the previous scenes. duh. Alright and I was just amazed by the facts that the skeleton taxi driver just KNEW the kids names, like no questions these are (whatever the mom's name is) kids. Like no introduction. That's never explained...questioned, but explained, nah that would make too much sense. Also, the pumpkin. Was it the fuel for the town, the source of energy, what was it? All we know is that when a snow globe is put into it vertically it gets lit. and that good and kills bad guys. When the mayor is giving his, "I'm evil so follow me" speech the crowd of people start to support him. Interesting bc I was under the impression that these were the good people. Okay so after the pumpkin is lit and the mayor like dies, the crowd starts cheering. That makes sense, there cheering for the death of the leader they were following! My all time favorite scene right here. At the end of the movie the boy bully reveals he is a troll, and that he changed to a boy in hopes to and I quote, "land a date" with the main girl character. But we definitly saw him as a boy when the main children were driving off in the taxi, which for him would be the first time he saw the girl he claimed to "have changed to a boy to land a date with. So he just lied.......on camera.....and we are giving him the keys to the bus that drives off to another dimension? Let me just tell you, if there are 3 words I can right now use to describe this delightful movie, they would be, Logical, Informative, and inspiring. Can't wait for Halloween city, Iv'e already got tickets. NOT.
