Review: The Casagrande’s “Curse of the Candy Goblin”

 

Overview


When Carl takes trick or treating too far, he must return his candy to the neighborhood Goblin…

Our Take

This time around we have a Halloween special that’s devoted completely to a half-hour with much of the running time focusing on two separate storylines within the narrative.

One focused on the kids facing the consequences of being greedy on trick-or-treating, while the separate subplot focused on Vito trying to get the perfect costume due to some bizarre unspoken rule that two people can’t share the same costume for some reason. The humor was well-paced, the jokes excelled, and later in the story, there were actual stakes and a sense of urgency.

Overall a decent Halloween episode. It’s possibly the second time they’ve devoted one episode to an entire half-hour as opposed to the standard format that’s often seen on Cartoon Network and other shows there they have two 15-min episodes to cram of a specific show, but at the very least it had a funny twist at the end.
