A whimsical Linus spends the night waiting for the great pumpkin to deliver gifts to those loyal to him in the pumpkin patch. His loyalty becomes the butt of everyone's joke. Poor Charlie Brown hopes to finally see a turn of luck during the wonderful spooky season but finds nothing but rocks in his sack. Will the Great pumpkin arrive this year? Tune into this classic to find out.
One of my Halloween traditions to watch this short for the last few years. Halloween to me, isn't the same without it. I remember every Halloween it aired along with my last review coming later this afternoon. It is Halloween and two reviews seem right to me. 🎃👻
The story of a young kid waiting for his Great Pumpkin to arrive. Every year he continues his tradition and hopes he shows up. This short is full of vintage imagery. Ghosts, ghouls, and pumpkins too! I still laugh at some parts in it. This film has been the heart of my Halloween traditions. If you love vintage Halloween imagery, Charlie Brown, and nostalgia give this one a shot!
9/10
