Reply to comment by I_want_to_believe_99 in ‘Halloweentown’ star Kimberly J. Brown shares movie’s alternative ending by MarielaGorman

Is the second one really, good ? I’ve never watched it cause from my experience Disney’s second movies always sucked

The second film is decent. I usually like to watch both as double feature for Halloween.

The series starts to drop off after that though, with the 4th in the series being the worst for many reasons including a recast of Marnie.

The fourth film would have been better if they replaced Marnie with Sophie.

Probably taking too adult view on it but I did always think it would have been interesting contrasting them more. Like the first film implies how much of a natural talent Sophie has. Always thought it’d be neat to juxtapose her and the opportunity to grow up knowing and training in magic versus Marnie who was very late to it all.

Also always thought it’d be interesting to get the backstory on why the mom hated magic so much - unless they did and I missed it. Beyond just the vibes of being a mortal and working for what you get. Internally I always head canon-ed that magic was involved in the dad’s death or that they got shunned for their relationship.

I honestly thought they had done that.

It really depends. If you have nostalgia for it, it's probably enjoyable. A lot of people found it kinda boring and were bummed that Halloweentown wasn't properly showcased in it because of the plot. The actors are fine, though!

I can see that. Most of the movie involves Halloweentown falling under a spell that literally turns it boring.

True. Another enjoyable sequel from DCOM would be Jumping Ship from Horse Sense
