Thread: The Halloween Tree

Tweet

I first posted this question in 2006.
I think I'm gonna ask every year until I don't have to anymore.

"I've googled this and checked Cartoon Network's site but can't locate anything. Does anyone know if this animated classic is being broadcast this year?
Channel, day and time would be most appreciated if you can find it." ~Spats, 10-11-06

Not that I know of but I have a dvd burned copy of it. It is from the VHS version. There are no 'official" dvds that I know of. Let me know if you want a copy.

I've been asking myself the same question for about as long as you have been posting it. I don't know when. I recall seeing it (many) years ago on basic broadcast TV (ABC or NBC)

Hmmm...I've got the book, but never saw the animated adaptation. When was it first broadcast?

It was made in 1993.Cartoon network played it during the Halloween season for a few years. My copy on vhs came with a paperback copy of the book. It is a GREAT story and it needs to be officially put on dvd. thanks Dan

I found a website that offers Halloween special information. Hopefully this place will know a day and time if it comes back to TV at all.

Wow I've never heard of this. I'm gonna You Tube it right now!

I think it is time to start looking for this movie again.

We need to seriously start petitioning Turner broadcasting to show this film every year. I have numerous times.
I hope you'll join me and drop them a line.

The reviews on the film are amazingly high at IMDB, Rottentomatoes, Amazon, eveywhere.
It needs to be a regular yearly broadcast, like "It's a Wonderful Life" at Christmas.

Spats, I just watched it on youtube, yes everyone should write in it was great and needs to be shown every year. Thanks for bringing this up, I hadn't heard of it before. It was great. Thanks, Keith

I would be all for a petition, too. Should we put together one of those online petitions?
