Mad Monster Party was created by Rankin and Bass, creators of the much-loved Christmas specials. It features an entirely new cast of characters...monsters! I can see the similarities between Monsters, Inc. and Mad Monster Party. If you look closely at the TV the doctor's nephew is viewing during one of the musical interludes, you'll see a small monster that resembles Boo. The nephew, while sitting in a row boat, is thinking about the possibilities of being in charge of "Monsters, Incorporated". He calls the monster organization that. Finally, the creature from the black lagoon looks very similar to Randall. It's a shame Disney had to borrow from this movie to find a hit. The original is so charming! Well worth purchasing for those who remember the good old days of cartoons and kid shows.Read full review
Being a fan of the Rankin/Bass Christmas classics (like Rudolph, the Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, etc.) was delighted to find this feature length (95 min) Halloween special! With the voice talents of Boris Karloff, Phyllis Diller, and Gale Garnett, and a cast of Halloween heavyweights like the Werewolf, Dracula, Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, the Mummy, and many more, this film doesn't disappoint! Great musical numbers throughout with the opening theme sung by Ethyl Ennis! If you're a fan of Halloween in general or Rankin/Bass in particular find yourself a copy of this right away!
great movie

In the spirit of Rudolph and Frosty the creators of these make a Halloween classic with this story. Boris Karloff leads the pack as Dr. Frankenstein who assembles the ghouls to celebrate retiring and the passing off of his "science" to one of his kin. This creates tension among the contenders which leads to an all out war of monsters. Although dated, still fun for small kids.
I absolutely love this product and so does my kid. This is a great movie which should be an inspiration for now days cartoons and movie industry in general. This movie has unique characters that are very entertaining. The script is superb and so is the music. It is suitable for all ages in my opinion. I wish this company would produce more movies in similar style. I am tired of watching tasteless movies on TV with no good stories just bunch of silly words and facial expressions of dumb and the dumber.
