Did you know she's engaged to the guy who played Kal in Halloweentown 2?

Omg yes. Hocus pocus, halloween town, and under wraps were all three movies I loved so dearly as a kid.

(Let’s do a little test to see how known the last one was, under wraps, anyone remember that?”)

Thats the one thats like a buddy cop movie but with a teenage boy and a mummy, right?

putdisinyopipe t1_iuhtp0q wrote on October 31, 2022 at 1:22 PM

YES and the mummy is just trying to find his wife who was found in a sarcophagus. Some greedy dude finds out that the mummy is walking and living and wants to capture him for himself.

So the boy pulls shenanigans similar at weekend at Bernie’s to walk around with the mummy so people don’t notice him.

The dialogue of the mummy too is pretty funny, he just grunts or moans lol.

So it’s like ET + buddy cop movie + mummies instead of aliens lol

And the mummy is played by the voice actor for Patrick Star.

The end of that movie when he finds his wife again is heartbreaking.

This movie is not on Disney+ and that makes me so sad because I loved it as a kid!

Watched all with the kids on Disney plus last night haha

UNDER WRAPS! I’ve been trying to remember the name of that move for ages… I could only remember the opening scene (kid watching a movie where a monster breaks in through the kitchen window) and the song “All By Myself” being used in it

Loved that movie and the songs in it- 'All By Myself' and 'Shake Your Booty' during the 70's dress-up montage!

I have this memory of watching 'Under Wraps' with my daughter, then 2, around Halloween 2000. She kept wanting to watch 'the mummy with bandages' over and over, but in November the cable channel (Disney Channel, maybe?) wasn't playing the movie anymore so she was upset. Eventually I found it on VHS and that VHS is in an old box in the storage room...

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

whiteflillies t1_iugvy8u wrote on October 31, 2022 at 6:13 AM

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!

SaltyPeter3434 t1_iuh1q8u wrote on October 31, 2022 at 7:40 AM

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

inFAMOUS_Hero t1_iuh0j8g wrote on October 31, 2022 at 7:22 AM

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