I sat down to watch "The Halloween Family" with my 9 year old son, and we were both liking the movie's poster/cover.
10 minutes into the ordeal, I called it quits and gave up. I just had my share of atrocious CGI animation of lanky movement and genuinely badly animated characters.
It should be said that my 9 year old son's interest in "The Halloween Family" was also quickly fading, but he at least managed to endure 29 minutes, then he tossed in the towel and called it quits as well.
I wonder how an animated movie like this even makes it through the first rough drafts and actually make it to the movie market. Because this was reminiscent of something that appeared to be a high school film making course final project for passing the course.
Save yourself the time, money and effort and stay well clear of this.
My rating of "The Halloween Family" is a mere three out of ten stars. Why? Well, at least they managed to produce an animated movie, and that effort alone does warrant some appreciation. But as for this being an entertaining animated movie that you just have to see? No, don't count on it.
