Michael Jackson's Halloween (2017)

Overrated

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I am a Huge MJ fan and this upset me so much I almost cried and that's sad because I am 36 years old and wanted to cry like a baby. The movie didn't feature enough o his music and plus the main Halloween song that Michael was known for was not even featured. Also I like Jim Parsons but his voice actually had no business voicing the part that it did. Overall I was very disappointed this film did MJ no justice but I only gave it 2 stars because my son liked it.

"Michael Jackson's Halloween" is an animated short film from this year, very new, very fresh and as the title tells us this was shown on Halloween for the first time. It is a small screen production that runs a bit over 40 minutes, but still stays in short film territory by IMDb standards. There were quite a few writers and directors working on this one, especially given the runtime, but the outcome may confirm the theory of too many cooks spoiling the broth. The makers aren't too famous here, but the voice cast has some decent names, several very experienced and decorated small screen actors like Baranski, Parsons, Garrett, Cumming, Liu and Eads, only to mention a few. But they should be ashamed a bit to appear in here as this entire project looks to me like a cheap attempt to cash in with Michael Jackson's popularity still years after his death. Animation is tolerable, the story is very mediocre and forgettable. The best thing are the songs by MJ they were allowed to use, but honestly these do not resemble any kind of creativity from the writers or directors here. Overall, not an honorable project in my opinion. I would especially not recommend it to MJ's big fans as they are be the ones who will be most disappointed here. A definite thumbs-down from me. Don't watch.

The TV Special about two kids names Vincent and Victoria who enter mysterious palace hotel in 777 Jackson Street. with bellhop chimp named Bubbles who help them to follower the music before female villain named Conformity who want to taken over the world to get rid of all music and dancing, its up Vincent and Victoria to save the music and dancings with all three keys to bring Michael Jackson to stop her. This Halloween Special is was fantastic idea for follower the music, and fantasy. but I really like this halloween special, but I wish their gonna release on DVD until next October and of course broadcast of this special again, but this is for Michael Jackson fans out there

I watched the show and was impressed with how the music was integrated into the video. It was clear the plot was about conformity and how doing what you believe is alright in order to change things. The animation was very good. The animated dancing pumpkin's performance of MJ's dangerous song was excellent. Some of the scenes reminded me of the plot in Captain EO. The animated Michael performing Thriller was super. At the end, the message from Michael was Believe In Yourself.
