The Haunted Pumpkin of Sleepy Hollow

Animated movie that plays out like a series of scenes, dialogue, and songs that didn't quite make the cut for a Scooby-Doo episode. Enjoyable enough. 6/10.

If your children want to see a Sleepy Hollow movie and are bored with the Disney film and or the Tim Burton film than they should definitely check out this movie.

This is a very good, wholesome family film in which a young boy faces his fears and has some fun along the way with a few whimsical ghosts. It also has a surprisingly catchy opening song. I saw this film for the first time when it aired on Cartoon Network the year it was made. I think it has only been reshown once but it is one of the better Halloween specials right up there with Dear Dracula, The Halloween Tree, and Halloween Town.

I don't know why but for years this movie did not have a listing on IMDb. I'm glad it finally has one.

The Haunted Pumpkin of Sleepy Hollow is really a very cute, fun little show from the now defunct Porchlight Entertainment. It's a great bit of fun for younger audiences between 6 and 10. It's art style is very much a product of its time, which adds to the charm of the show. The writing is fine. Nothing special, but not terrible. A few corny jokes and one-liners. The voice acting is solid. Again, it's nothing special, but it's good. Thankfully, they didn't have the voice actors be too exaggerated. As a result, there a bit of playing it up, but it was also played pretty straight forward. All of this together would mean that this is just an average mediocre show, but the charm of it all just makes it something worth seeing. It's been over 20 years since this show came out, and I'm sure there are many who remember watching this and enjoying it. It's a good watch for something silly and relaxing that will keep your kids entertained for half and hour and have the parents surprisingly entertained for a short bit as well.
