In this animated version of the classic children's tale, the marionette who wanted to become a real boy gets into trouble when he loses his father Gepetto's favorite jewelry box. At first, Pinnochio tries to conceal his wrongdoing but eventually, thanks to the promptings of his insect pal "Gee Whilikers," comes to do the right thing. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Rudy and his new pal Devray get the fright of their lives while playing Halloween pranks on the elderly as the rest of the kids set their sights on Searchlight Johnson and Mudfoot Brown. Little do the kids realize that the little old lady who lives in the house by the cemetery has finally gotten her fill of their moonlit mischief, and she's about to give them a frightening taste of their own medicine. Later, the kids come together and attempt to decide what to do about their friends who went out trick-or-treating and never came back. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Oliver Twist is an animated version of the Dickens classic. Josh Albee is heard as the voice of the orphaned Oliver, while radio veteran Les Tremayne invokes all the tricks of his trade to portray the underhanded Fagin. This adaptation was a rare theatrical release from the TV-cartoon factory of Filmation; it was picked up for distribution by Warner Bros., who virtually threw away the film when it performed poorly in previews. Oliver Twist gained its widest exposure when it was telecast as an NBC special in 1981. At that time, the film's already heavily telescoped continuity was whittled down to an adumbrated 47 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
