Perfect for Halloween. Last year, we rented it from the library. My kids watched it everyday. I have two toddlers. They love it. Most of the story takes place on Halloween, in a pumpkin patch. The pumpkins don't know how to react when they find Spookley, a square shaped pumpkin, hidden under the vines. At first, some of the other pumpkins want to exclude him, because he is different. But after a storm passes over the patch and the pumpkins become in danger of rolling out of a wagon into the rising river, they realize the only one who can help them is Spookley, and because of his differences. With brightly colored animation, fun characters and songs, children learn that everyone has differences they can use to work together and help eachother.
We learned about Spookley last Halloween as a rental and was not able to locate it on DVD. We did have the book with CD and sticker book. Spookley is a great story about diversity for young and old. There are parts of the story that are amusing for all ages. The characters given to the pumpkins are believable and adorable. The content is comprehensible for the youngest child. It is a very fun Halloween story!
In this movie, your children will be entertained and learn a valuable lesson. I probably enjoyed more than they did, because there are these three spiders that have a clever name - yes - Edgar, Allen and Poe. Then you have Big Tom and Little Tom the two meanest pumpkins in the patch who really pick on Spookley as he is not shaped like the others. As a bad storms travels in, the rount pumpkins begin rolling toward the river and Spookley is staying put because of his shape. This is when he realized be square was safe! By the end of the movie, you will be singing and dancing the Transylvania Twist (by the Monster Mash guy). You will enjoy all five songs on this DVD.
My boys love this movie. It really gets them looking forward to fall and Halloween.
