Without a doubt, my favorite Halloween cartoon ever.


I love "Trick Or Treat" above all other classic Halloween cartoons/specials. For some reason, I think Donald's cruel treatment of his nephews is down-right hilarious. I was a little surprised to see that it had no comments on the message board. Anyone else a fan of this classic short?

I'm a fan! I think ever since I first saw this cartoon I've liked it. I can't
remember the last time I saw it, though.

*I* read Hazel's potion ingredients as:

1: Eye of needle
2: Tongue of shoe
3: hand of clock that points at two
4: neck of bottle
5: tail of coat
6: whiskers from a billy goat
===========
My favorite scene is when Hazel's playing her broom like a banjo and
she goes into this country square-dance piece to get Donald to kick out
that key.

Which nephew's wearing what outfit? I always assumed Huey was wearing
the devil outfit, Dewey was wearing the ghost outfit and Louie was
dressed as a little witch. But I could be wrong.

I love that short too! Too bad I don't know the whole lyrics to Witch Hazel's square dancing gag used when trying to get Donald to kick the key out.

It's one of my favourites too, and in my personal opinion the Halloween season is incomplete without watching "Trick or Treat" at least once.
