I'm a huge Ray Bradbury fan so I was excited to see this animated adaptation of his great novel The Halloween Tree. Bradbury himself scripted this movie and even provided the narration. The story is magical, poetic, and even educational. I would recommend it for parents to share with their kids. It's beautiful.
Interestingly, Bradbury wrote the novel after he had collaborated on a Halloween Tree screenplay with the great Chuck Jones for an animated film that never came to be. As pleasant and enjoyable as the animation is in this version, one can only wonder how amazing the collaboration between two greats of their respective mediums would have been.
