Witch's Night Out is so Canadian it hurts. Not only was it shot in a Toronto Studio, it's got Dan Aykroyd, Vlari Bromfield, and Catherine O'Hara. Honestly, my favorite part is the sound the broom makes.
I don't have much to say that can't be answered by watching this flick. Here's a song from the 70s about a witch.
It's an OK special for what it is, I remember seeing that back in the day but I forgot how funky they've drawn those characters.
Some years before this one, there was a Christmas special produced by the same group but with much more simplified, cheaper animation than seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ4mPiZMhpw
Yeah, not ever special can stay as endearing for long (or in people's memories as much). Just be thankful I did my share to remind people of the colorful past we seem to have lost today (much like those "Monster cereals" I can't seem to find nowadays).

I remember it got a lot of replay for a number of years. Petering out about the time of The Devil and Daniel Mouse.
