Ever wonder what goes on in a pumpkin patch during the fall
season? Pumpkin Season is a Read-A-Long DVD Picture Book. This
wonderful story is about a cute little pumpkin named Reggie. He
can't wait to go to the jack-o-lantern auditions and play pumpkin
games at the seasonal patch parties. However, in pumpkin society
you either qualify to become a jack-o-lantern, or you are kicked
out of the patch and made into pie by the Bakerman.
The Bakerman never makes pies out of the official
jack-o-lanterns, but he has a big pie order to fill and now all
pumpkins are up for grabs, especially Reggie. Reggie's courage
unites the pie pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns and they all join
together with the jack-o-lantern ghosts of Halloweens past to
defeat the Bakerman. The jack-o-lanterns finally realize that big
or small y or not, they are all the same. And from now on all
pumpkins will be Holiday jack-o-lanterns, thanks to Reggie.
This wonderful story is for all ages. Special features include,
animated intro, on-screen story text so children can read along,
your choice of male or female narrator (kids pick), a full screen
gallery with music track. Images are highly detailed and colorful
3D computer generated illustrations. Length is approximately 30
minutes, language is English.

The Book of Pooh: Just Say Boo
For those who found the animated Pooh video series a
disappointment compared to the original Disney featurettes
(compiled in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh), the Book of
Pooh may revive interest. Its puppetry gives child viewers the
delightful impression of their stuffed toys come to life.
Although this new Disney Channel series still offers more
lesson-oriented storytelling than the whimsy of the A.A.
Milne-based originals, it has its own charm. This 46-minute
offering contains three fright-oriented stories with Halloween in
mind. The first--a double-length episode--focuses on Eeyore's
move to the y Woods while the rest of the gang dreams up
creepy costumes to win the contest at Kanga's holiday party.
Piglet finds a black hat he thinks makes him brave and Tigger,
Piglet, and Rabbit get spooked house sitting for Owl in the other
two stories. --Kimberly Heinrichs
Rolie Polie Olie: A Spookie Ookie Halloween
To describe Playhouse Disney's perennial preschool favorite,
think Teletubbies meets The Jetsons. This loving, traditional
family--Mr. And Mrs. Polie, 6-year-old Olie, sister Zowie, and
Grandpa Pappy--are hairless beings with antennas, glassy eyes and
noodle arms, set in a fruit-striped computer animated household
of living appliances. Okey Dokey? While parents scratch their
heads as to what makes this program work, preschoolers are
enamored with the soothing storylines, predictable endings and
deliberate pace of the Emmy-award winning show. A trio of
hardly-haunted tales makes up this celebratory 24-minute video.
If Charlie Brown gets the Great Pumpkin, then Olie can dream of
the giant orange Spookie Ookie, which he does in "The Legend of
Spookie Ookie." In "Oooh y," Olie and his pal Billy plan to
give Zowie the fright of her life but the shivers come back to
haunt them, much to her delight. And in "Zowie Queen of the
Pumpkins," the spookie ookiest day of the year! becomes a sweet
memory of dancing with spook-o-lanterns when Zowie meets a
midnight friend in the pumpkin patch. (Ages 2-5) --Lynn Gibson
