I've seen the first movie and this one. They are both enlightening and entertaining. The actors portrayed a great job with their character roles.
As soon as I saw when Marnie and her grandmother travelled back to Halloweentown and found it all gray, boring and in ruins, it really reminded me of another movie sequel I've seen somewhere else. It really had a symbolic meaning to "The Wizard of Oz's" 1985 sequel, "The Return to Oz", where pretty much the same thing happens. The heroine returns and finds her "hometown" and must fight the evil lead character to bring it back to normality and give it its zest of life. It was was symbolic and interesting. If you haven't seen "Return to Oz" (a Disney movie that's labeled as being 'dark'), I would recommend you watch it and lightly compare it with "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge." I liked that!
Great job, Disney!

I've not seen the first film so I can't comment on what other people have said regarding the plot line's similarity to the first.
I found this film interesting though. It's clearly aimed at kids and I think that kids would find it entertaining. I have to admit the plot didn't completely make sense, and there were some parts that just made no sense at all. But I suppose that the target audience probably wouldn't be too worried about the inconsistencies.
The plot centres around the granny witch's spellbook which is stolen and used to place a 'grey spell' on halloweentown, turning the town listless and uninteresting (although I found the 'boring' characters more entertaining than the lively ones, I never thought seeing someone sort socks would amuse me so much). The young witch then has to attempt to regain the book despite not seeming to know her arse from her elbow.
At no point in the film was I bored but I was slightly annoyed by the ending given that it was something she could easily have done at the start of the film.
In total I'd give this film 6/10 allowing for the fact it's not aimed at me, and young kids would probably enjoy it.

I usually like weird, kind of dark movies but this one was just... cheesy. The acting was pretty bad, even for amateurs. The script was all too obvious, the plot had potential but bad costuming and set design ruined it all. Many of the ideas seemed stolen (i.e. doesn't Halloweentown sound at all familiar, hmmm? Or the idea of wizard school?) Overall it was a pretty boring movie. Many lines were meant to be funny but just...weren't. It wasn't even bad in a good, funny way, just bad in a torturous fakey, boring way. Overall I would not suggest this movie unless you want your IQ to be lowered. But it might be o.k. for really little kids who just want a fun movie.
great movie. I recently saw harry potter, and I think this movie was better than that. the special effects are superb! Just the level of scariness to keep the kids on the edge of their seat. Thanks, disney! you have once again made a great movie for kids and adults alike.
Now, I've seen some pretty bad sequels in my day, but this one was just plain terrible!!!!! The acting was worse, the story was lame, and Kimberly J. Brown really grates my cheese. She can't act!!!!!! I hated this one, the first one may not have been Oscar material, but it was a hell of a lot better. Did anyone else realize that they had a completely different looking Halloweentown? That was a pretty dumb mistake. I guess the thing that really got me too was that the ending was almost the same as the first, Marnie stands up to the big bad using her own will power... how tacky. This movie gets a 1/10
Did you know
- TriviaThe Sanderson Sisters costumes from Hocus Pocus (1993) were recycled in this film and can be seen on three new actresses at the end of the film when the gray spell breaks.
- GoofsWhen the spell Kalabar uses is describe they say it works on humans to make them into the creature they insult. However, the spell still affects Gwen (who is a witch) but not the kids.
CORRECTION: Despite her already being a witch, she was wearing a Halloween mask which caused the spell to work on her. it didn't work on Dylan or Sophie because they weren't wearing costumes that would have been effected by the creature spell. Similar to another mistake on here, there were several other humans at the dance that the spell didn't work on due to the type of costume they were wearing.
