awesome book and video!.......2007-07-08

my daughters simply ADORE this video and the book, too ... they fell in love with the video when they were both less than 2 years old - it held their attention for the entire length of the movie ... it's cute, funny, and has a great moral !!!!!

Kids Love it! A right of passage for parents!!.......2007-05-03

Pixar it's not. It lacks the texture, lighting and subtle nuance of a Pixar film. However, the computer animation is pretty good for a children's video and you won't be disappointed. There are several children's videos that I like to watch with my kids. This particular video leaves me lukewarm. There are very few, if any, bits of humor for adults to bolster our flagging sanity. That said, it passes the most important test; the kids love it. Parents won't find it annoying (at least for the first 50 times they see it). My kids particularly like the musical bits. My five-year-old also likes the read along version of the original "Spookley" book on the bonus section. It's interesting that the book diverges SIGNIFICANTLY from the video. My son has specifically asked to see the bonus feature several times. It's read by the same guy who sings "Monster Mash", so gives the story a very nice "Transylvania Twist". Overall, I'm not disappointed I bought it for my kids.

Entertaining show with a good message.......2007-02-02

My kids love this DVD. Spookley is a pumpkin who is teased because he is different but this show teaches not to judge a book by it's cover. 5 Cute songs and it teaches a valuable lesson. Special features include:
-Direct Play DVD-full screen version
-Read Along with Bobby(Monster Mash) Pickett
My 2 year & 8 year old love this show and ask for it all through the year.

Spookly The Great!!.......2007-01-17

My 4 year old loves this Halloween classic. This movie does for Halloween what Rudolph and Frosty do for Christmas. I would definitely recommend it.

Great movie.......2007-01-10

My children, ages 4 and 5 absolutely loooove this movie! The songs are very singable, and original! Great for Halloween, or any time you want to give the kids a 'treat'! You won't be disappointed, it also sends a strong message about being 'different'.
