As a kid who wasn't allowed to celebrate Halloween, these movies were the only fun i was having during Halloween.
I feel you my family didn't let me enjoy Halloween growing up because we are Christians.
Also I’m pretty sure Sophia seems so powerful in this cuz when you’re a kid, that’s when you pick up things the most and faster, literally sponges, so you gotta train them at that age
I really hope you guys decide to watch the others, Halloween Town High is my personal favorite but the others are really good too. Oddly enough Halloween Town and Twitches have withstood the test of time for me.
Yes. They should watch the entire TRILOGY.
I identified with Marnie so hard as a kid. The younger brother and sister, the overprotective single mom, the interests. I know it's just a silly DCOM but "The truth is, there's nothing special about me" and then the same voiceover later where her courage saved the day is one of my earliest examples of a piece of media seeing me and empowering me, love it so much to this day. 🎃♥
This movie always made me wonder if there’s actually a world like this out there, that we haven’t discovered yet.
Undertale had the same effect on me.
Yes!!!! Then I saw Berserk a highly regarded manga/anime and some parts of it oddly fully made sense to me. Super cool but very scary to think about.
As a kid i sided with marnie but as an adult I understand the mom more. Think about it, ain’t no way Granny got the time to raise 3 kids fighting evil and running around. Mom moving there with 3 kids would only make raising them more dangerous and difficult especially considering their last name is well known. The only thing I definitively disagree with is lying to them to lose their powers.
I tend to only focus on how outrageous her lying is but absolutely, it was none of her concern when she'd washed her hands of it a decade and a half ago. The part about not allowing them to visit makes complete sense. But I wouldn't go as far as "understanding Gwen" because she knows it would mean the world to her daughter to discover this and start training and just doesn't care, her values are all that matters. Beyond selfish. If it was me and I found out later I lost my powers? No contact forever.
@@bespectacledheroine7292I feel like a good compromise would’ve been stay in human world and train and then you can celebrate Halloween and visit your roots at 18. Cuz literally the second they stepped foot into Halloween town an evil warrlock was plotting on them.
@@lilypaxd Gwen's thought process must've been their fate of going to Halloweentown if they know and are partially immersed in that world through training is all but sealed but look how keeping it from them worked out. Marnie and grandma were simply overeager, they'd listen to reason if waiting for 18 had been the plan all along.
@@lilypaxd but the question is, did she even know there was an evil warlock? She left to be with a human and rejected all magic because she wanted to be human, not to escape the evil warlock. She has no idea about that. The only reason she has for blocking her kids from learning magic and about their heritage is because it goes against her principles.
It would be like if someone moved to America from China, and kept their Chinese heritage from their kids. Their grandparents still live in China and they are allowed to visit the kids, but the mother never let the kids go to China because she didn’t want them to fall in love with the country and move there. One day the kids go to China and then find out there is an evil gang living there. The evil gang being there doesn’t then make the mother’s concerns valid, because the concerns weren’t about them being in danger from the gang. The mothers only concerns were that they were going to love the place she disliked and not follow her values. It is a completely selfish perspective. Just because there’s a danger that doesn’t then validate her argument. She is still choosing her own desires and comfort over the wants and desires of the children.
In the case of the mom in this movie, she literally was going to rob them of their magic just so that they would never have the ability to ever go against her wants, even though she knows this is want her daughter wants more than anything. That is psychotic narcissistic behavior.
I'm still siding with Marnie.
I absolutely love these movies! The 1st and 2nd ones are the better ones out of all 4 in my opinion, but I have to say the 2nd one is the best out of all of em, as a kid I loved the Halloween feel and it even gave a great creepy feel for back then. It did a great job 👍 I definitely love the 2nd one, you guys will enjoy it!!! 🤩🤩🤩
And you should DEFINITELY watch Twitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah 1 and 2 are great. But the second movie looks like the budget had been reduced because the town square is smaller and closed off. Not like in the first movie in where it is more opened.
I completely agree but the first and the second one are my favorites!!!
I think I am the only one who doesn't think Halloweentown 2 is that great. For me, I would only watch it for A) the quartet and B) the added lore. Otherwise, it is meh.
There's only three movies. The fourth one stopped existing as soon as they didn't cast Kimberly.
@@christianschoff2490 you are right 🤣
The second one is my fav... because it visualize time travel for the first time for me in a cool timeline/portal way. And also sick ass halloween party gone feral for the villain's plot. Was definitely my favorite moment there.
Oh wow, Halloween Town. This is a classic. Really nostalgic.
Ikr?! Back when TV was still our main source for entertainment and Internet streaming services didn't exist!
Those were wonderful times!
Please watch the rest of the Halloweentown series! 🙏 It’s worth it lol it’s very campy the whole way through!
"She was stalked by Candy Bar..." 😂😂😂 I mean, maybe. He's sure got stalker vibes, that's for sure. Thats how I would have written it.
Children still have open minds, it's no surprise Sophie has such strong powers when she's still imaginative/hasn't been as influenced versus Marnie, who is older and with a mom that clearly shut down any talk about magic/being different/weird.
Marnie's lost touch with her own magic after internalizing her mom's messages about being normal (which is exactly what her mom wanted) so it's harder for her to connect with her magic. Sophie is what Marnie WAS as a child before her mom's indoctrination succeeding (the mom admits Marnie had powers to as a child but Marnie clearly can't remember/do it anymore).
Even after all these years this movie is still such a fantasy wish I want to come true haha, so glad you guys watched it and liked it!
I don't believe it. The mother's the same woman who played April O'Neil from the live action (1990) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yeah it has been 8 years. Judith Hoag does not age gracefully. She looks like she age 20 years instead of 8 years.
It's definitely worth watching the whole series of Halloweentown. I'd say each movie after gets better than the previous except the fourth one when they replace Marty's actress.
I watched all the halloweentown movies growing up and even though some were just bad they were fun to laugh at! It has kind of become my little tradition to watch all of them every year. I guess this year I'll be watching them along with you guys! 2:10 as a kid I lived on a street that had many superstitious people and so my family always had to make sure our black cats were in the house. They would give me dirty looks playing with him outside but halloween really brought out the worst of those people.
I think you should watch all of the Halloween town movies. As someone who grew up with them, yes they are kind of cheesy but they are still worth a watch. Especially the last one, where they go to college. It explains the whole Cromwell thing for you guys.
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the movie because of the campiness. I've seen some reaction channels completely shitting on the movie for the exact same reasons and it honestly makes my inner child die a little inside. Like it's a campy, cheesy movie with some bad CGI but it's a 90s Disney Channel movie so I don't expect high budget or masterpiece performances. It's still a fun movie to watch. I think you guys will like the sequels. The second movie is my personal favorite and it's also Kimberly J Brown's as well. (She plays Marnie) I am still salty about the actress change for the 4th movie though especially since Kim has stated that she was available and willing!
You guys also HAVE to do other Disney channel movies like Moms Got A Date With A Vampire, Don’t Look Under The Bed, Phantom Of The Megaplex (which has Mickey Rooney!)
All 3 of those movies are bangers! Love them
Definitely Don't Look Under the Bed...that movies scared the shit outta me as kid!!!
Halloweentown movies are great childhood memories
In all my years I never knew there was a 4th Halloweentown movie. I remember enjoying the second and third movies, but its also been at least a decade since I've seen them.
If you haven’t watched the fourth movie, I recommend you don’t, I’ve seen it and honestly it’s not all that great. Only three original cast members were in it.
This was such a fun journey to go on with y'all. Please be sure to watch the rest of the Halloweentown movies, and the Twitches movies too!!!!
Please watch all the HalloweenTown and Twitches movies!
I wonder if youll see the other three sequels.
Halloweentown 2
Halloweentown High
Return to Halloweentown
Though if you dont another fun disney halloween movie is Twitches
Twitches is goated
And honestly, the others are pretty good as well. Cheesy, but good.
Halloweentown was my jam back in the day! The last two movies in the franchise fall short but the first two are Halloween bangers! They're on my yearly rewatch for Halloween.... love these movies, wish they were books with expanded stories. I'd love more history on their family.
This…. Is my CHILDHOOD AHHHHHHH✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ this film and halloweentown 2 Calabar’s revenge were my Harry Potter before Harry Potter. By the time I knew Voldemort and Tom riddle it was bc of these films I felt nostalgia already for those characters 😂
Can you guys please watch all 4 of these. The third one is great, and people talk about about the 4th one because Marny was re-cast but Sarah Paxton got the part and she’s amazing and the story is so fun. Highly recommend.
The banter during this one has been hysterical
I always spend my Halloween night marathoning all four of these movies 🎃
The 4th doesnt exist
Literally same!!
same, and every Christmas was The Santa Clause
I didn’t even know there was more than 2
The Halloweentown series and Twitches were so fun to watch as a kid, please record it! Maybe also the live action Scooby-Doo from '02? 👀
Don't Look Under the Bed is definitely the movie Ruff is talking about because it gave me nightmares too😅
"Shut up, Minkus" has me rolling at the office! 😂 another throwback! oh, man, I might have to use that on my cousin when he gets all "Well, actually...."
Def not the same actor as Minkus but he sure could have played that role perfectly!
33:30 He would leave too, he's scared of her and will probably end up with gifted kid burnout, depression, and anxiety
The *Actual Halloweentown is about 1 hour away from where I live and they alway do the annual "Spirit of Halloweentown" festival, which was cool when I was a kid, but now it's too overcrowded to be any fun🤷🏽♂
There's 4 movies:
Halloweentown
Halloweentown 2: Calabar's Revenge
Halloweentown High
And Halloweentown 4: Return to Halloweentown
Return to Halloweentown is the one where Marnie is replaced by a different actress as she was about 25-30 at the time. And it takes place when Marnie is in college.
41:52 omg, this scene used to scare the crap out of me as a kid! Debbie's voice when she's saying "Go" and then convincingly dulling her eyes to look almost dead... used to put chills down my spine.
Omg you guys should totally continue the rest of these movies. They are great DCOM Halloween Classics
I mean, he wasn’t too far off with the three ladies movie lol. Instead of three sisters, it’s three generations of women.
Off-topic, that hat is such a pretty vivid red, I love it XD
The actress that plays Marnie in this film, Kimberly J. Brown, is in part 1, 2, and 3 and then is one of the only ones recast in part 4. She never comes back to play Marnie. Halloweentown 4 is the final of the series
I need a series where you guys go through all the original DCOMs
I don't remember if they change it in the next movie but I honestly thought Calabar killed the dad as well out of jealousy. Wow, the fact that he had nothing to do with that and was just upset he got passed over is hilariously sad😂
55:28 She made the staff lamd perfectly, can sorta predict the furure, and had powers like Sophie before
Just watched this last night with my grandparents for movie night y’all have to watch Halloweentown High next!!!!
Kalabar's revenge comes first!
@@jazmat3984 omg I totally forgot about that one😭
twitches needs to be watched!!
Please watch the other Halloweentowns your reactions and commentary are definitely needed😂
Y'all should watch The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy!
If this is a must watch then yall better be watching Scary God Mother later this month
Halloweentown Laura goes deep and you learned about it in the rest of the movies
Props for the izombie plug. One of my favorite shows of all time! Its written by the creator of Veronica Mars so if you like Veronica you'll love izombie
Plleeaase do the other Halloweentown movies!! This series is one of my favorites. Love you watching you guys! I also hope you’re able to do Twitches.
Man this takes me back, I watched this every Halloween in middle school and high school
So glad y'all watched this! It's my yearly Halloween tradition to watch at least this first one, then get to the sequels. I watched each one as they premiered on Disney Channel and it was always fun for me and my sister😊 Then, of course, Hocus Pocus to top it all off! 😊
After the Pokémon movies are u gonna do the actual show?
Halloweentown 2, 3. Sara Paxton as Marnie Piper, an 18-year-old witch. She was portrayed by Kimberly J. Brown in the previous films. Paxton also portrays a younger version of Debbie Reynolds' character...
Sophie Yes 1-3, 4 No
Keep this Disney marathon going. I know Luke comes back in the second movie.
Halloweentown 2 is the best in my opinion. The plot for 2 & 3 felt a little darker at the time for a Disney Channel movie when I was a kid.
Every mention of "Minkus" in this video takes me by surprise and makes my sides hurt every time.
One of my favorite Disney channel movies that was a family tradition to watch. The first three movies I love but the 4th is so so.
Yo now this is a blast from the past I've always watched this on Disney every October. The theme song always hit me with some nostalgia I remember watching this on my family's old TV in living room while eating dinner that for some reason it was always rice o Roni and fried chicken on the same day this movie plays i don't know why or how. But still very good Halloween theme movie.
The first 3 movies have Kimberly J. Brown as Marnie. She was replaced in the 4th movie.
Love this series that even now i watch it kn my own evey October on Disney+!! I Inpatiently waited for the premiere of each new one when they came out!! ❤
I never forgave the mom in this movie. She's like, "My kids could get magic powers. Better make sure that never happens."
To this day, that's what I remember the most. Boils my blood. 😠
When I was a kid I watched this thinking about how cool it would be to have magic
Now I watch this thinking about the implications of having magic in the real world
More Halloween town
As someone who grew up with these movies I adore them all but I would have to say my favorites were 2 and 3. I think I liked that those movies were more spent dealing with the magic and stuff instead of 1 and kinda 4 where we are just introduced to magic stuff for a lot of the movie.
Loved Luck of the Irish, The Other Me is another obscure movie I rm from that era.
Never heard of it.
Thought you were watching Halloween 2 at first and it was about the 3rd time looking at the title I could finally see past the visual illusion of it sharing the same damn Pumpkin picture in the thumbnail.
My expectations cannot be lower... lets see if they are cleared or not.
BRO I WATCH THIS MOVIE SERIES ALMOST EVERY HALLOWEEN! It stopped being good after the third movie though.
It doesn't help that Return to Halloweentown is the only one that doesn't have Marnie's original actor.
@@staticshock4239 That's part of it. But honestly the plot wasn't as good as the rest.
@BadGirlCovenWitch really? I thought it had the best plot out of em all tho, and the special effects were wayy better than the first 3 movies
@@lenkaido1357I gotta agree. It would probably be my favorite if they had the original actress
Yeah Marmie didn't act like Marmie without the original actor.
i have deja vu all the time, but im actually not surprised because ive been told that i have psyhic abilities, same as my mom. youre allowed to believe what you want but Ive been having deja vu since i was a child and it has become more visually clear as ive gotten older. Before it was just brief flashes of a moment, but now it is full on events playing out. My mom also has psyhic abilities and i believe it. I remember the first time i got my period (this might be a little tmi but oh well😭) i was a late bloomer and it was the summer before 8th grade. i had a few blotting incidences that happened while i was literally away from my mom in another state for track championships, and when I called her, she somehow knew. and then one day when i was home, my mom came into the house from the grocery store and the first thing she said to me when she walked into the door was "did your period come?" and at first i said no, but then i went into the bathroom like 5 minutes later and discovered that it did actually come. She said she went to the store and got me pads, tampons, and a chocolate cheesecake bite for the cravings. I still didn't know how she knew until she told me she had psychic abilities
This is one of my favorite movies as a kid it is amazing the rest are a must watch
All four movies are great in my opinion. They were my childhood. I really liked the 2nd and 4th one. The 4th one probably would've been my favorite if they didn't replace Marnie. And maybe a couple other things but I don't wanna spoil. And nothing against the new actress I just preferred the old one. I thought the storyline was pretty cool tho. You guys should definitely watch them all. They get better as they go on. I feel like from 1 to 2 is a huge step up.
Yeah bro! We gotta bring cloaks/capes back into fashion NOW
shit, I'm gonna be muttering "Stalked by Candybar" and laughing my ass off randomly through the week aren't I? that's god damn hilarious.
I watched all the Halloweentown movies but I think most people agree that that the first two are the best. Not to spoil anything, but the last 2 movies show very little of the parts of Halloweentown that were built up by the first 2 movies. Also *spoiler* we see very little of Sophie moving forward, they just mention that she's training or she's in the background so it's kinda weird how much they build up how powerful she is in this movie
The emergency door on the back of the bus doesn’t have any alarms. It is also opens from both sides, in case of emergency.
So apparently every Halloween or every October somewhere in Oregon puts up the Halloween Town pumpkin and I think it was where they actually filmed the halloweentown movie. I don't know where exactly I need to figure it out so I can go take a picture trying to reach into the pumpkin and grab the light thing.
Bro Minkus is the literal walking nerd emoji🤓🤓
I love the Halloweentown movies.
I love them too. I have all 4 movies.
@@jamesstutz6907 same here.
I'd love a theatrical remake or a Disney+ sequel set in this world. I loved how RTH fleshed out the world more--even if it felt human-esque.
Rip Debbie Reynolds 1932-2016
The Cromwells are probably related to Merlin
First of all… y’all had me laughing this whole damn reaction 😂
40:21 This dude scared me as a kid 😅
Also the 2nd is the best you'll love it
Awesome reaction, love this movie so much and the sequel is pretty good.
Yes all the halloween town movies are worth watching.
I loved this as a kid, but watch all of it is still a must.
Oooh! If possible, I’d love to see you guys watch UnderWraps. Not the reboot, f that. The classic one.
It's a Disney film, and an early one at that so I'm not surprised they did a poor job on the mother to justify her reason for taking away her kid's birth right and be separated from the Halloweentown world. From what it seems like what they wanted to do is replace "witch" with "rich" and you got what they were going for. She wanted to remove her high class status knowing the lifestyle they had of being super important in the town, I mean the oldest daughter immediately let it go to her head. Mom just wanted to settle on being normal so she and her kids could escape from that lifestyle and be humble, but the movie just didn't do a good job in depicting her side of the story.
Have any of you guys seen the new 2023 Haunted Mansion movie, if nay can you guys watch it some day?
Boom 😂omg I can’t keep a straight face around you. You are hilarious 🤣
You guys need to react to the Hanna-Barbera Halloween tv special "The Last Halloween". To this day, it remains a special part of my childhood! 😁👍
Wait until they find out the second movie's called Kalabar's Revenge
I love Grandma Agatha Cause I wanted to be her when I become a grandparent Lol also there's 4 theres the Classic og here, the 2nd is Halloweentown 2 calaburs revenge, Halloweentown high then it's return to Halloweentown which is the one with the Replaced marni actress which I never knew until My moms friend pointed it out literally Disney on UA-cam is having a marathon on these movies and if you look at the thumbnail you can literally tell Lol
Halloweentown 1, 2, and 3 (Halloweentown High) are definitely worth it in my opinion! Return To Halloweentown is okay, but because they changed the actress who plays Marnie it lost the connection there for me personally but its not bad.
If you do anymore though, Kalabars Revenge is definitley the one I'd reccomend!
Love this movie
I didn’t know this show existed but know I believe it’s my favorite Halloween movie series that Disney has made after watching this I binged all of the movies including this one on the Disney Channel account on UA-cam and I want you to react to the other three because they were all so amazing and overall a great movie franchise
I just found your channel because I love the Halloweentown movies, I hope you watch the rest, im going to go check out what other things you've reacted to now! Maybe you guys could watch a bunch of dcoms lol
Please do some more DCOM for Halloween! They have some really choice ones honestly. Under Wraps, Don't Look Under The Bed, the other Halloweentown movies, etc. I think y'all would get a kick out of em!
53:56 the first three has her as Marnie and the fourth one has Sara Paxton as Marnie. There’s no reason disclosed why they replaced her cause this actress was available. They almost recast Debbie Reynolds also cause of scheduling conflict but she became available. The other three are worth watching as well.
God this was my childhood.
Well this seems really cool can't wait to watch it with you Guys
