THIS HALLOWEEN SEASON, DARE TO BE SQUARE WITH
SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN
AS SEEN ON DISNEY JUNIOR
BRING HOME THE BELOVED ANNUAL TELEVISION SPECIAL,
BASED ON JOE TROIANO’S BEST-SELLING BOOK,
NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN HIGH DEFINITION!
NEW on Blu-ray Combo Pack | Also Available on Digital HD
Everybody’s favorite square pumpkin is now the “Pick of the Patch” this Halloween season. For the first time ever, SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN can be yours to own in High Definition – available in a new Blu-ray Combo pack and on Digital HD from Cinedigm.
SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN, written and created by Joe Troiano, tells the story of a square pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch on Holiday Hill Farm. Although Spookley initially faces ridicule from his fellow patch-mates, he goes on to save the day during a terrible storm. As a result, all the pumpkins in the patch learn that the things that make you different make you special.
The animated television special, based on the bestselling Spookley book series, has been a long time Halloween tradition for families, and will once again be broadcast this October on Disney Junior.
This year, Spookley the Square Pumpkin also returns as the "Official Spokes-Pumpkin" of National Bullying Prevention Month through a partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. PACER, a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, provides innovative resources for students, parents, educators, and others, and recognizes bullying as a serious community issue that impacts education, physical and emotional health, and the safety and well-being of students. For more information on Spookley’s activities with PACER, visit: www.PACER.org/Bullying/
PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
In a world where the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins, Spookley is teased because of his square shape. Shunned by the other pumpkins, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders, who convince him that, square or not, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch. But Big Tom and Little Tom, the pumpkin bullies in the patch, continue to tease and taunt Spookley. Encouraged by kindly Jack Scarecrow and his bat sidekicks, Boris and Bella, Spookley tries his best, but he isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens Holiday Hill Farm. When the storm blows the round pumpkins across the patch towards the raging river, Spookley realizes it is up to him and his square shape to save the day.
BLU-RAY COMBO PACK BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE 5 EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PICTURE BOOKS:
The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin
The Legend of Beacon the Bright Little Firefly
The Legend of JellyBean and the Unbreakable Egg

My Review:
If your child watches Disney Junior, then you might be familiar with Spookley the Square Pumpkin. I admit that I've heard of Spookley before but had never watched it until receiving the Blu-ray Combo Pack. I can now see why it's popular.
Spookley the Square Pumpkin has somewhat of a Halloween atmosphere but I think kids would like it any time of year. This film is about 45 minutes long and will keep children entertained with fantastic animation and musical numbers. The Transylvania Twist was among one of the favorites, and my nieces were dancing along with it.
Spookley the Square Pumpkin tells of a pumpkin that is square rather than round. He is made to feel like an outsider because of his difference. Two pumpkins in particular (one a big oaf and the other a small pumpkin with mighty words) make Spookley feel inadequate. Jack, the scarecrow, encourages Spookley when feelings and events make the square pumpkin feel sad. Spookley gets to redeem himself and show that it's okay to be different when he saves the pumpkin patch from a storm.
The story of this film is entertaining and there's even some humor. Some of the behavior from the bullies isn't very nice but it's not over-the-top and, in the end, it's shown that doing those things is no way to treat someone. The bottom line it tells is that bullying is not okay, and there's nothing wrong with being different. We all have our own special talents and abilities.
One person will win a Spookley the Square Pumpkin Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a Spookley the Square Pumpkin Plush.
