Editorial Reviews

Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: Halloween is an adventurous time for little cubs, and there are all sorts of things that might get scary. Join in the fun as the bears celebrate the season with bats and pumpkins and tales of ghosts. Through it all, remember that the scariness is all in fun, as the Berenstain Bear cubs know. The little ones use their bravery and know-how to debunk all the thumps in the night. Some viewers might not appreciate the way the father constantly seems uncaring, selfish, and ignorant. However, viewers will most likely appreciate how each episode ends with a simple moral lesson such as getting along with others and not letting your fears get a hold of you. "Halloween Treats" assists children in working through problems or emotional issues and promotes pro-activity instead of reactivity. KIDS FIRST!® Child Juror Comments: "Really good. All the episodes were good. The characters treated each other good except for the weasels. They were friends with all the animals. It wasn’t very scary." 84 min.; Ages 2-5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fans of 80s animation need only apply!, September 2, 2010

This review is from: Berenstain Bears: Halloween Treats (DVD)

Here we have the Saturday Morning version of Bererstain Bears run in 1980s on CBS. I am sure many a 80s child can remember this show greeting us while eating our cereal back when Saturdays were must see tv to a child.

The other reviews have been harsh and that's only because they expected this to be the PBS version airing in this decade. The only thing I can agree with somewhat is this dvd and the other Sony Wonder versions should clearly list on the front as this being " The Berenstain Bears 1980s edition. " In that way it can be clear to everybody. The only way you can tell this is the 80s version is by looking on the back credits and it states 1986 copyright. Now I don't know if it's deliberate on Sony's part to entice new Bererstain Bears fans to buy these too but I think there are a great many Bererstain Bears fans for the 80s version who would buy this.

Well in my case I actually have been waiting for the 1986 version to make it on dvd, the voices are great unlike some other review said here, any 80s animation lover will recognize these voices being in other 80s cartoons as well. This version was animated by Southern Star Operations which might not be all too familiar to some but they were a subsidiary of Hanna Barbara based in Australia and they also animated The Teen Wolf cartoon and CBS Storybreak, two other greats from the 1980s.

Now onto the content, you get 7 segments totaling 84 minutes. There use to be two segments making up one whole show when it first aired so in this case you are getting like 3 whole shows and a half for a decent price. The shows have opening and end credits intact just like they use to air. I hadn't seen this show since it first aired and I wondered if it still would be fun to watch and I have to say it still holds up well and I can say children of today can appreciate it too, maybe if they're too hooked on the new version they may not like it as kids are fussy like that but if you're a kid who grew up in 1980s this might just be the version you'd rather your children watch today as it has all the lessons and fun intact to enjoy.

This can be a fun treat to watch at Halloween time and really it can viewed any time of year. The shows which are on this dvd are as follows:

1. The Bat cave
2. The Spookiest Pumpkin
3. The Trojan Pumpkin
4. The Missing Pumpkin
5. The Wicked Weasel Spell
6.Bust a Ghost
7.The Spooky Old Mansion

If you like this cartoon you might also consider buying the Raggedy Ann and Andy 1980s version dvds as well, that show holds up very well. Keep the 80s rocking, buy 80s!

5.0 out of 5 stars ANY Berenstain Bears is a joyful treat, February 15, 2011

This review is from: Berenstain Bears: Halloween Treats (DVD)

I have reviewed several Berenstain Bears DVDs. We have all of them (at least, of the ones you can order here on Amazon). We prefer the newer DVDs to the 80's episodes. BUT. My children love these older ones, too. They may be different, but they're STILL extremely good. I remember them from when I was little.

I get rather upset that people complain about these older DVDs. If you truly love the Berenstain Bears, I don't see why you can't embrace both. True, the 80's version may be a bit dated, but the lessons are still there for all to see. Talk about good, wholesome entertainment for your children. Old version or newer, there's always good moral lessons to be learned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not really Halloween related, October 2, 2011

This review is from: Berenstain Bears: Halloween Treats (DVD)

My review has nothing to do with the style of the show. I like both the more modern versions of the Berenstain Bears and the older 1980's version. The episodes are fine if you are just interested in adding to your Berenstain Bear DVD collection, but my problem is that I don't think the word "Halloween" is mentioned in a single episode. None of the episodes are really tied into Halloween at all. Sure there are some episodes with pumpkins, haunted houses, ghosts, and bats, but so what, they don't involve costumes, trick or treating, or even a single mention of the holiday that this collection of episodes is supposed to celebrate. If you want a Berenstain Bear's Halloween special, look elsewhere, this is not the collection of episodes you want.
