Rick H Great movie. Love all of the old monsters. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Rosana B Uma fofíssima e apaixonante animação stop-motion, o filme é uma homenagem exagerada, paródia, dos clássicos filmes de monstros das décadas de 1930 e 1940, tornou-se um filme cult. Surpreendeu positivamente pelo roteiro cativante, e a belíssima qualidade da técnica utilizada, com riqueza de detalhes, capricho e todo contexto fofo dos bonecos monstrinhos dos gráficos, como a ingenuidade do protagonista que dá um ar cômico a animação, musiquinhas e trilha sonora deliciosa, apaixonante. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Jacob B A sort-of spiritual prequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas with elements of Hotel Transylvania, it's nice to see Rankin/Bass tackle something other than Christmas for a change and Mad Monster Party? is a decent, harmless piece of old-timey stop-motion, not to mention how impressive it is that a majority of characters are voiced by the same guy whilst still sounding diverse, but I thought this film was a bit aimless and underwhelming. It feels more like a made-for-TV film that somehow got a theatrical release with uneven pacing and a rather episodic approach to its storytelling coupled with its actual main protagonist being out of focus for the most part. Then again, he's not exactly a compelling protagonist with a vibrant personality. And as for the songs? They aren't bad but they are forgettable and I've yet to have any real desire to revisit them on YouTube. The slapstick shenanigans are okay. A passable time-waster for younger audiences for Halloween but I wouldn't be surprised if, even without recency bias, they find themselves preferring Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2 over this film. I'm sorry guys, I know this is a cult classic and I really wanted to like this film more than I did but it just didn't leave a lasting impression on me. Oh well, at least now I have closure after putting off this movie for over a decade. It's just a shame that it ended up leaving something to be desired. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie hits the nostalgia button just right. Good memories of watching this on TV in the 70s. A perfect blend of humor, fun, and music, with the stop-motion animation that Rankin/Bass perfected. Gale Garnett as Francesca was perfect, and I have no idea why the song "Never Was a Love Like Mine For You" that she sings in the film didn't become popular or a standard, it's just good! This film is a one-of-a-kind treasure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review woody w Something Rankin-Bass should have learned with Rudolph - an hour or less will keep kids watching. Adults will get bigger kick out of this than kids. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well put together animated fare. Really enjoyed the different actor portrayals. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
