Running Time: 8 min.
This is an animated Walt Disney Short from the fifties featuring Witch Hazel who takes exception to Donald Duck playing mean tricks on his nephews, Hewey, Dewey, and Lewey who are out trick or treating, and then further humiliates Hazel by pulling on her nose and dousing her in water. Thus the rest is revenge of the witch through a spell on Donald Duck.
This was a fun bouncy animation in all its Halloween shlock that can only come from Disney during that period and in any other context outside of a Disney Cartoon, would be utterly horrifying. It’s a great little story that progresses smoothly with some enjoyable Halloween imagery.
The delightful voice talent of June Foray (the original Granny from Loony Tunes, Cindy Loo Who from The Grinch, Lucifer from Cinderella, and Rocky the Flying Squirrel, just to name a few) who owned the part of Hazel and made this fun character delightfully colorful, was the heart of this little number.
Over all a non-serious goofy little number with some standard fare music, great voice talent, and fun Halloween visuals.
